    Default Weird Al Yankovic

    Gotta love this guy... he's been doing his thing forever! I think he's super cool. What you guys think of Weird Al?

    There's tons of videos out there with him, and so many of them are not just funny lyrics-wise, but also also visually. A lot of work put in some of these videos.



    (..."gonna party like it's 1699..." hehe)






    His interviews are hilarious too!

    One of the few guys who can make playing the accordion look cool! I love most of his parodies.

    I used to be pretty big into Weird Al, back in the Bad Hair Day and Even Worse days IIRC. I haven't listened to him in quite awhile now, but I think he's great for music and pop culture. Really a pretty smart guy too, retrofitting all of those songs with pretty funny lyrics.

    Been a fan of his ever since the Dr. Dimento days of old. Crazy funny. Unusual talent too.

    Yeah, he is great. I can't believe he has been able to keep it up this long. We almost took my boys to seem him in concert this last year but it didn't work out. We will try to do it next time though.
