You gotta do Trapped in the Drive Thru 💯💯
Oh God. You know too much. We don't talk about this one 😂
YESSSS!!!!
Yes!!
Oh yeah
I asked for Trapped In the Drive Thru on the first weird al video Cliff did! Yes! Let's goooo!!
Trust me... It's not just English teachers who love this song. I'm a technical writer and a free-lance editor. I play this song often when I have had a rough editing job.
As a grammar nerd, this is my shit 😂😂 #TeamOxfordComma
same here
I know! Their is nuthing more annoying then people who don't use grammar right. Its the more worse then loosing you're cell phone.
Best hashtag I've seen in forever.
#TeamOxfordComma
So damn true
I think the "Irony is not coincidence" line is a dig on Alanis Morissette with the raining on the wedding day.
At 5:44 I think you missed a big pun when Weird Al sings,
"You should hire some cunninglinguist"!
Come on now, I'm almost 60 and I caught it!! Maybe I'm just a dirty minded old lady!! Hahahaha!!!
I love this channel!! So happy I subscribed!!! Thank you!!
I was thinking the same thing. No-one picks up on that.
@@lorrainefraser1970 only just us ladies!!! Too funny!!!
I'm sure there are people who pick up on it but don't explicitly call it out because they don't want their own content to go that deep into adult-only territory.
C'mon, folks! He caught "PSYCH!", and I've missed that for YEARS.
@PegC I'm a 40-year-old man and believe me, I caught it the first time I heard it... before I even saw the video! So you don't need to worry, there's at least 1 dirty minded guy here with you!
Did you know Weird Al starred in the movie UHF? It's what we call a cult classic.
You missed the word "WROTE". Or at least he co-wrote it, with the director Jay Levey.
Foil, tacky, rocky road, my Bologna, germs, handy.
I love using that "i could care less" moment against my students when I can😂
"Handy" is hilarious. You'll like That one too
Al has taken a few digs at Prince over the years, Prince repeatedly refused to allow Al to do parodies of any of his songs.
That's a loss for the Prince estate... Al should do a free one....
Prince was the main reason he started doing polka song collages. He did it to make fun of Prince songs without encroaching on any copyrights. So long as he shows who wrote the lyrics he could poke fun at about a dozen different songs at once
Technically Weird Al does not need permission to do a parody. Parodies fall under fair use as far as copyright laws go. Al asked for permission out of respect.
@@ddraiss not a lawyer but I believe that is what the law says at least in the USA
@@ddraiss That is very true, which is why the song "your pitiful" was never monetized, as I understand it permission was given for it to be on the "Straight out of Linwood" album, but the permission was withdrawn to release it after the video was already shot, so the video was released unmonetized. He felt that while he did not have approval, he still had the right to release it, particularly as the video had been done, he just felt it would be wrong (opinion not law) to make money off it still.
There were other famous songs that were refused one of the most famous was Paul McCartney's "live and let die" which Al wanted to do as "Chicken Pot Pie" - McCartney being a vegetarian didn't approve. Ironically Al himself is now actually Vegetarian himself, in fact eats mostly a vegan diet.
He’s really smart. He skipped 2nd grade and graduated high school early. He’s been doing parodies for over 40 years.
If I remember correctly, he also graduated college early. He's a literal genius, not just in music.
He is also a linguist who is cunning.
Weird Al was Valedictorian of his high school class in 1976. He studied and earned a Bachelor Degree in Architecture at Cal Poly prior to his musi
@@chrisgorman1652 lol
Can you do the weird al and Eminem interview?
If you still want songs, do party in the CIA
The only eminem dis that went unanswered
Weird Al is, as millions have said before, a genius. The musicality, the lyrics - that are funny, and flow perfectly, the clever digs and asides. Love the reference to Prince. Weird Al really is a "cunning linguist"
My mother (may she rest in peace) was a High School English Teacher. I think she would have LOVED this song!
I know I do.
In fact, I think it should be MANDATORY in Public School English classes! (Maybe it would help a few of those lessons stick?)
My mom is a retired math teacher, still with us, mostly. She loved this when I showed it to her. She and my dad really enjoyed the presidential debate parodies.
Yes, the video needs to be shown in all English classes.
I was thinking that too
The man has made a career over the last 40 years of being able to make some of the best parodies in the business. Not only is he an incredible lyricist but the man is a borderline genius when it comes to his skills at being able to mimic musical styles as he has in his incredible career. And as amazing as all of his parodies are his original stuff and his covers are by far some of the best things he's ever done
"All About the Pentiums" needs to happen. Love all your reactions so far!
Next you definitely have to do foil no question
I got in trouble on Facebook for sharing that one😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
To be fair, the word literally has been updated in the dictionary to now include being used when meaning "figuratively". Just kind of shows how language evolves, for better or worse
Oh, that's sad to hear... they're antonyms, we need literally to mean "not figuratively". If they mean the same thing... it's the end of the world as we know it. 😉
@@mrkelso Thanks for that. Now I have REM stuck in my head and an overwhelming desire to watch X-Files lol
To be true, the "literally for emphasis" has been used for ages. *Literally* centuries. To quote Merriam-Webster: ""I literally blazed with wit." William Makepeace Thackeray, Punch, 30 Oct. 1847. The figurative use of 'literally' may be annoying, but it is nothing new. […] The use of literally in a fashion that is hyperbolic or metaphoric is not new-evidence of this use dates back to 1769."
I love that you are doing Wierd Al. You should do "Tacky," "Like a Surgeon" and "Foil".
I love how Weird Al manages to not only come up with new lyrics that work, he matches the beat, rhythm, and syllable count (for the most part) of the original song. He's a true lyrical genius.
PLEASE DO "SMELLS LIKE NIRVANA ". Weird Al got the original set and cast from the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" music video! It was so good. And there is so much going on in the background 😂
It's too bad you only react to Weird Al songs that you get a lot of comments on, because Al posted a live concert video of himself performing his original song, Germs.
The reason I'd love to see you react to it is because you'd get to see what an amazing performer he is, plus you'd hear what an incredible song writer he is.
People focus on his parodies and totally miss what a musical genius he is. Kurt Cobain knew, and wrote in his journal that Weird Al was a genius.
My late husband got me the Weird Al live DVD for my bday some years back. We watched it over and over. We're headbangers and he never failed to mention not only Al's performance, but he never lost sight of Al having a seriously excellent band. Those guys are like a jukebox.
Germs is a GREAT suggestion!
"Germs" is a 9 Inch Nails style parody. Like "Dare to be Stupid" is a Devo style parody.
@@gregsteele806 That doesn't make them not original. Heck, Mark Mothersbaugh from Devo has admitted that "Dare to be stupid" is more Devo than his own songs.
@@snorpenbass4196 I never meant to claim that they weren’t original. They are a very specific sub genres of Al’s catalog though. “Mission Statement” being another wonderful example.
please do weird al's smells like nirvana next.
Couldn't click this fast enough! 😂 This is my favorite Weird AL song!!
"Cavity Search", "I Can't Watch This", "Trash Day" and "Ode To A Superhero" are good Weird Al parodies to react to.
I never noticed before this. When Al sings "what's a contraction" his voice breaks a little with a laugh.
OMG I love that you did Word Crimes!! There is so much subtlety in this one. Like hiring a “cunning- linguist”. The more you listen to it, the more you catch something new. That’s what makes Word Crimes so great.
The Saga Begins and Foil have to be next, then Trapped In the Drive Thru! You just can’t go wrong with Weird Al!
One of Al's best parodies. This is also extremely on-brand for him. He's been known to tweet about signs that say "10 items or less" instead of "10 items or fewer", etc.
This video might also be the perfect one to make one small nitpick: you're pronouncing Al's last name as "Yank-o-vitcH," but it's actually pronounced "Yank-o-vicK". Aside from that, I'm really glad you're enjoying these. I've listened to this song a bunch and I never picked up the little "psych!" in the background. Good ears!
@@BlackavarWD i think he would call out whichever the sign did
@@BlackavarWD exactly. he would tweet about that if it was grammatically incorrect.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: "Weird Al" Yankovic should get a Grammy every year just for being so Awesome.
Great Reaction, Man. Hope you can keep on keepin' on. 👍✌❤
Like the dig at Alanis Morissette's "Ironic"
He is so good at what he does and has many great songs! Foil, Perform This Way, and The Saga Begins are a few more to consider.
Those are so Handy. Oh wait, that sounds Tacky. 😮
The video for Perform This Way is nightmare fuel.
Living with a hernia and smells like nirvana
The sudden left turn into conspiracy theory territory that Foil takes is fucking legendary.
If you want more of Al's amazing Wordplay, go for the song "Bob," written in the style of Bob Dylan. The video will show the genius, see if you can figure it out! My favorite song of his is another Style song, in the Style of Devo, "Dare to be Stupid."
YES! Bob is so good!
I suggest before watching BOB that you watch Bob Dylan's original video for "Subterranean Homesick Blues" first to see how amazingly well Al copies the set and style.
Weird Al will always remain the legendary king of parodies🤣❤️💯
I think my favorite part of the music video is the fact that the animator took the opportunity to throw some shade at Alanis Morissette during Al's explanation what is and isn't irony. Al may or may have not had the Canadian singer's notorious song in mind when he penned those lyrics, but when the animator put rain on your wedding day on the Not Irony side, it was shots fired.
And since I doubt anyone has requested this one yet, I'm going to suggest Harvey the Wonder Hamster. Out of Weird Al's catalog, this may be the one you can listen to without crying because it's too short to get the tear ducts flowing. Maybe you could do it as a double feature reaction with Mr. Frump in the Iron Lung, which is another short Al original that goes way back to his early days.
Weird Al did radio in college while he earned an Architectural degree. He played the accordion as a kid and submitted his song My Bologna (My Sharona) to the Dr Demento radio show. It was made in 1979 and Al became a much played regular on that silly show. There are tons of his parodies to check out.
Writers / Authors love the song too.(Approximately 6 minutes in, Including unpublished Authors...)
Word Crimes is a certified classic. It’s so fun! 😊😊😊 and educational!
I like how the premise in the beginning is that he's trying to teach someone, but by the end he's just insulting them. haha
you could make an entire UA-cam channel doing nothing but Weird Al content. his catalog is PROLIFIC! keep going, you'll get washboard abs from all the laughing!
I'm going to keep recomending One More Minute and Weasel Stomping Day. Among my favorites by him.
This is indeed an educational song in disguise.
I love watching you lose it laughing. 🤣 Laughter is best shared.
I can say, for a fact, that at least one English teacher uses this song in their lessons. One of those teachers is a guy I know called, Sam. Only uses it for the older kids (14+). I what, Al say's about the use of the word, literally.... OOOOOOOOH HOW I AGREE! My brother does it nearly every other sentence. I gave up correcting him within a day. Now if it gets bad I just respond to every literally with:
"You Literally did that?!? You literally opened the door!"
Much love to everyone from here in the UK.
LONG LIVE THE AoD, THE SEWER RATS & THE GREAT PYRAMID SCHEME!!!!
The word literally has been updated in the dictionary because of these people lol
Now it includes a second definition meaning "figuratively"
@@ThisGuyDakota I have NEVER been more ashamed of my own language. Please excuse me. I need to go sit in a corner & cry for a bit...
@Andrew Moss That's understandable 😂
Says the guy who uses "say's". Pot, kettle, black, my friend.
During the lockdown, I had the kiddos do breakdowns of songs like this and some other songs that they could talk to my mom and uncles about.
Maybe not traditional teaching but it helped keep us engaged.
Fun fact, Weird Al didn't know "Spastic" was a slur in some countries, so he omits that line when he does it live nowadays.
For education purposes, In the UK and UK areas, "Spastic" was used in the 1950s by mean children as a Nickname for someone with Cerebral palsy. It is a word that evolved completely differently in the US, coming to mean "Quick to do without thinking, or Crazy and unorganized" For example, if you were to write a Blog post, and it wasn't very fantastic, you would probably write like a "Spastic"
All about the pentiums ( all about the Benjamin’s) they had an English teacher who analyzed that song
I have a degree in literature and history, so when I see someone on line write a story in one big word block it drives me crazy, and I hate it when people use abbreviations like BC not knowing they mean because---- not in my world. Love this song because he points out things that people do all the time on purpose.
Why is abbreviations such a long word?
@@robby1816 bc it is. ;)
He said "look I went through CPS okay? Don't sue me" XD
Napom’s round 2 wildcard is absurdly high level
I love all Weird Al. But even if I didn't, I'd want you to continue with his videos because watching you react to his songs is so much fun!
I'm so glad you pointed out the fact he said "sike" in this video. I've seen it dozens of times and never noticed it. It gave me a good laugh again. haha
I think you would really like "Foil", "Tacky", "Bob", and "Handy". All on-target parodies of, respectively, Lorde, Pharrell Williams, Bob Dylan, and Iggy Azalea.
My mom taught 4th-grade English at Abbott on the south side of Chicago many years ago and I think she would love this song. I'm going to show her the next time I see her.
This song reminds me of a video that Weird Al did for his personal channel about a decad ago. It was titled, "Weird Al teaches grammar." He videoed himself walking up to the "10 items or less" lane in a grocery store and putting a piece or tape over the word "less" and replacing it with "fewer". He then turns to the camera and simply says, "Grammar people." and walks away.
In sixth grade, I remember our Language Arts teacher playing this. I can’t believe I found it again, wonderful memories XD
The Saga Begins. He gives the entire synopsis of Star Wars Episode 1 to the music of Don McLean's American Pie. It's brilliant the way he rhymes his lyrics with the original song.
There are a million more to go, but you should 100% take a look at "Living with a Hernia," which is a parody of James Brown's "Living in America."
ALL WEIRD AL SONGS ARE GREAT ! I'LL BE HERE FOR THEM ALL ! #HOGLOVE2UBRO
I bet Weird Al has a big dictionary. Lmfao
Weird Al has ‘Big DICT Energy’! BDE!! 😂😂❤
I lov this song and how he included some easter eggs such as the mine sweeper on the desktop when talking about email and the double entendre cunning linguist. I highly recommend tacky as the next review
Yes, “End Of The World” with Tom and “Word Crimes” by Al. It’s a great freaking day.
#hangovergang forever ✌🏽
I remember when this came out, I recognized the video style right away. It was made by a guy named Jarrett Heather, and he did an awesome video for a Jonathan Coulton song called shop vac a year or so before this which is just as good
As someone that suffers from schizophrenia and Grammar Pedantry syndrome, i love this song. Weird Al has always done stupid smart funny, he is a very underrated artist.
"Word Crimes" lives in my brain for free. That and "Tacky".
Weird Al famously had a long running feud with Prince who consistently refused permission to parody his songs.
No matter what song from Wierd Al you choose it did not miss!
And I also has to confess to commit some word crimes here and there but I always can say that english is my second language and I still has to improve it! :D
As a recommendation for one of the next reacts I put "Trapped In The Drive-Thru" in the bowl.
It’s “have” instead of “has” :)
Ay, you’re a real one for shouting out the artist’s page and telling people to sub, good on ya.
w00t! That belly laugh made the whole thing worth it! As for suggestions, All About The Pentiums fo shizzle. If you find yourself wanting something silly, Albuquerque or Trapped In The Drive-Thru.
I never heard of this song before, but it's now officially my favorite song Weird Al has performed 😅
Living With a Hernia really teaches you. Always been my favorite.
You let "some cunning linguist" roll right by you! OMG LOL
Oh. A UA-camr who actually takes suggestions from UA-cam comments. Amazing. Lol.
This is one of his best. My other favourites are Amish Paradise, The Saga Begins, Tacky, White & Nerdy, Party in the CIA, Foil, and Perform This Way.
As a former south-side Chicagoan (went to college there, grew up in Rockford) I love your Sox cap and Chi-town references!
I love the biggest he throws in everything he does like the “irony is not coincidence” line and there’s a reference to Alannis Morrisett on the board.
Smells Like Nirvana is a must.
Weird Al, mastered the art sick burns on this song. My mom and her fellow english teacher friends used this song in their class a few times.
I'm a member of the grammar police, and I loved it when this song came out!
Saw him live when i was 18, and got to meet him, he is an awesome awesome showman
Mister Clifferson, "Trapped In The Drive-Thru" is a classic of Non-NormAL Yancovik 😅
Weird al says "rain on your wedding day" is not "ironic". Shots fired XD
5:50 "you dumb mouth breather" had me on the floor!!! 🤣
1:40 lmaoooo Turned to Squidward for a second there bruh lol
I'm danish and this video was very informative 😂😂😭😭❤❤ Al is a genius
This reaction was priceless!
"From the lower west side".
It's like a shot at Prince because Prince continually refused when Weird Al would ask his permission to make parodies of his songs.
I'm always down for more Weird Al, the man is a genius.
Headline News, Like a Surgeon, First World Problems, Confessions Part 3, Skipper Dan, Jurassic Park.
*Weird Al Yankovic (Stuck In The Drive-Thru)*
An old grammar joke that this song reminded me of:
*There* are people who didn't listen to *their* teachers' grammar lessons, and *they're* driving me insane
Yanko VIC.
By the way, this song came out the same year as Blurred Lines, 2013.
1:35 I just noticed this for the first time. George Newman was Al's character in UHF.
Doubly glad to see this. 1. I always stop for Al videos, and 2. Another reactor had this song and it got ripped down forever to be hidden, apparently. Glad to see this one-while it stands.
A Genius at work , nice reaction 🤓👊👍 and he is living in an Amish Paradise 😬
Loved this ❤️ Thanks ❤️ Much Love ❤️
Next? Any of _"One More Minute," "Yoda," "My Bologna,"_ maybe even _"Another One Rides The Bus."_
I’m an editor and I absolutely love this song every time I hear it. Your reaction video was hilarious, too.
Their, they're, & there and too, two, & to DRIVE ME UP A WALL, too!
I'm a high school teacher and our last principal played this for us on our first day back from summer a few years ago.
Congrats! Much like me, you will never think of words the same way again, LOL!
You're reactions keep me coming back.
