I believe his parodies are classic, and naturally outlive whatever music trends come along. He's highly intelligent with a sense of the absurd which, for lack of a better word, has deemed him "Weird Al" Yankovic. I've been a fan since his earliest days on the Dr. Demento radio show. Sunday nights on KMET? That part is a bit fuzzy, but I looked forward to hearing his newest recordings. He's really bent in the best way possible.

My friend Kevin is a KJ and a bit of a hometown hero who looks a lot like Weird Al. Every year Al performs at the OC Fair, and Kevin always goes to see him. Several years ago, people kept coming up to Al at the fair and saying "hey Kevin, is that you?" Eventually he bumped into Kevin, and immediately recognized him as The Imposter. He told him "this is the first time I've ever been recognized in public as someone other than me!" They got a selfie together, made Kevin's day, it was awesome. Al is such a good sport and one of the kindest people in the music industry.

Gitta give Weird Al credit as a director. Not only funny, but its well-shot and technically impressive. Kudos Mr. Yankovic

That was a bit of a challenge for me, because I start the video on a 5th floor fire escape, and I reappear on street level wearing completely different clothes. That means - for EVERY TAKE - as soon as the camera was off me I had to run down 5 flights of stairs WHILE CHANGING MY CLOTHES so I could be on camera again at the end.

Love this song

Once again, Weird Al blasts the original song outta the water.

I’d say this is one of the best music videos by Weird Al and Jack Black is spot on!! Can’t get enough of this guy’s act.

From the man himself: It was so fun. You all know who was in it… all the great celebrity friends that I’ve got… it was just amazing. At one point, Kristen Schaal turned to me and she said, “I hope we get to do this all day long.” It was six takes. And we used the sixth take, although takes five and four and three were all great, too, it was kind of hard to… maybe at some point Nerdist will put up take five or some kind of alternate take so you can see some of the other stuff. It was, in fact, one continuous shot… believe me, it was one continuous take. And for every single take, as soon as the camera was off me, I had to run as fast as I could down five flights of stairs (because the elevator was being used) while changing my clothes so I could hit my mark and be there at the end of the video. Jack Black killed. If you think that was the only take that was good - every single take, he was, like, clicking his heels above his head… amazing, amazing energy. And he wouldn’t even take the elevator back up, he was, like, “No, I’m gonna jog up the stairs every time!”
