Surprisingly, Al actually re-recorded the lead vocal for this instead of just lip-synching. I almost couldn't tell for sure, but then I noticed that his voice cracks juuust a little when saying "well" at 0:54 in the original, but not in this version.
During my last breakup, I felt rather ambivalent, as you sometimes do. I wasn't quite sure how to express how I felt . . . and then I heard this song for the first time in the better part of two decades, and realized this was what I felt. Weird Al's music helped me get to grips with my relationship ending (there's a sentence I bet you weren't expecting to read today).
I remember this on MTV from a weekend takeover type thing they did with AL. It was all Weird Al videos for like a 6 hour block and had prerecorded little spots like this.
Yeah, Al's always been significantly ahead of the curve. He was doing "lols teh random" style comedy in the 80s, way before the internet decided that it was cool.
Anybody else wondering why Al is singing what essentially a break-up song in front of a pool while occasionally having somebody walk in the background?
My theory, bescause at the end he makes a LOT of Alanis Morrisette references (specifically with Parodying "Ironic" and the comment he makes about it) is... Jagged Little Pill and Ironic aren't about Joey from full house... I think Al and her might have been together in secret or something. Dunno, theory
Holy Shit. 0:50 The first recorded Power Dab!
Probably live action. Donald Duck from the classic cartoons also dabbed.

0:50
Confirmed: Weird Al was dabbing for longer than many of us have been alive.
0:50 AL DABS BEFORE DABBING IS COOL
Just an account TIL that Weird Al Yankovic invented dabbing in 1996
Employees in the back just like "That weird dude dancing and singing again..."
That aside, is it any wonder why this man is such a legend?

That is very relatable, surprisingly!
Bruv I know his songs are jokes but he truly has an incredible singing voice
I remember this. he had an mtv show for a short time. reminds me of being a kid
Doug Montesano short time? He started this in the 80's

Amazing how Al can sing all those voices at once. Truly gifted!
DAMN DAB

No. If you've paid any attention to him over the years, you'd know not to question ANYTHING he does ! LOL :- )
Holy crap the DAB caught me off guard
My favorite rockstar, popstar, comedy star etc.. of all time.
Watching him dance around so close to the edge of the pool I was totally expecting him to land in the water before the end of the song! :P
Al accidentally wrote a song about what it feels like to quit most drugs
Al invented dabbing long before anyone started dabbing.

No, because he explained that he was doing this because he had exactly 1 minute and 20 seconds to fill.

Dunno, theory
Doesn't matter.
Because. He. Can.
Nope.
Al dabbed!!!!
0:52 Al dabbed decades before it was cool
Rock on, Weird Al. 😎
This is magic
Weird Al dabbing when Cam Newton was just out of diapers.
He's using a backing track!! Before it was popular!
He makes the best break-up songs ever. Never break-up with an expert satirist unless you’ve got an awesome sense of humour 😂
I remember watching this special on mtv in the 90s!
The original dab was created by AL around 40 seconds
I used to have so much of this show taped and I really miss it tbh. I'd kill to re-watch it all.
No need for homicide, just buy the DVD off of Amazon.
It's also on Tubi apparently.
You found the Official Music Video
I thought he was going to fall into the pool at the end!
0:50 DAB
+Grayson Gamel thats what i was thinking
Weird Al is always ahead of his time
He's a timetraveler
Amazing
for real a time machine moment
Since you've been gone, it feels like I am drowning in a pool filled with 6 feet of kale
i
Best part of mtv
What a skill.......

Which epispde is this? Been trying to find it for years.

This reminds me of David Lee Roth's Dave tv, except Dave tv had great music and was totally awesome.
Are you saying this music is bad?
Who you talkin to punk
OKAY NOW GO TO COMMERCIAL, GO GO GO GO!!
