​@@lukiland_ES When this song was made, it was the end of the 2nd Millennium. Some people & groups wanted to "party like its 1999" as it were. Like a new year, but 1000x more intense. Modern society has recorded only 2 other melinnium ends in its history. So it made sense to party on the third. "Party like its 1699" is a goofy double joke on that.

The Amish actually built my house it is sad that they may not hear this masterpiece.

I had a very unusual experience ... attended an appearance for Motley Crue at Tower Records on Sunset and Weird Al was another star as part of the event. Not too many people had shown up, so I had the opportunity to talk with him for about a half and hour, and he was really just a nice, somewhat normal guy. Friggin' brilliant, but anything but crazy. I had been over at Tommy Lee's house with a group the night before, where they were recording some songs, so we were supporting them (John Corabi era) so we were focused on them, but Weird Al was quite a fun guy! I wish I had shot a picture with him, but it was pre-iPhone days. Really enjoyed meeting him, and he was so kind.

Amish and Mennonites are actually not the same .... they all belong to the Anabaptists; however, most of the Anabaptist groups would get quite insulted if anyone said that they were branches of each other. Some different groups are the Old order Amish, New order Amish, Mennonites, German Baptists, Beachy, Beachy Amish(yes there is a difference), Schwartzendruber Amish, Charity(or so they used to be called... they changed their name), and many others. Mennonites are the ones I am the most familiar with. Everything depends on the location of the church because rules vary by congregation. Rules can be as strict as "Dresses must be hemmed at 9 inches from the floor" (Yes that is a real rule ...... I don't know why), and "Men are not allowed to wear shirts with print of any kind". Some rules make no sense and are only accepted because they were passed down from previous generations. All Anabaptist groups can tell each other apart by observing the slight differences in the way the women dress. Colors and designs of coverings and dress patterns vary by which group the members belong to. Even the slightest difference in detail would identify someone as a part of a different group.

Yeah, Stevie Wonder's is the original from 1976, and then Coolio used Stevie Wonder's song to make Gangsta's Paradise, and then Weird Al made this

I have no idea why this video keeps popping up as one of the first results when searching for news reports, but I'm not complaining.

The scene in reverse is so sick. Love how he tried to lip sync it all in reverse so when played in reverse it was close to a perfect lip sync.

Amish and Menonites are opposites theologically - Amish are Armenian, while Menonites are strong Calvinists. Menonites are actually very accepting of modern technology, while also being ultra-conservative in social standards.

2:51 Al does the whole chorus backwards. He doesn't just walk backwards from that grin, he _mouths the entire thing in reverse_ , precisely. Think of the concentration and practice this required. We don't deserve Weird Al, and we should all thank the universe that we have him.

Said this before and I'll say it again. There's Elvis, there's Bruce, and then there's Al. You pick out the order.

I just realized. During that ending scene, everything is reversed except for Al's lip syncing. That means while filming that scene, Al lip synced /backwards/. What a talented fucking guy!
