lol, he continues to be awesome.

MmmCrime: lol, he continues to be awesome.

yep.

I hope he keeps on rockin' for a long, long time.

Funny.....but depressing.

Fantastic song!

Great song - his parents must be so proud of him...

Two Dogs Farking: Great song - his parents must be so proud of him...

oh, i've got some bad news for you...

/abe vagoda died :(

I wasn't fast enough here--you gotta be pretty quick to get in before the first "Weird Al's parents" reference.

Two Dogs Farking: Great song - his parents must be so proud of him...

Too soon

Bill_Wick's_Friend: Funny.....but depressing.

Yeah, a few lines describe my situation at the moment, which is disheartening.

Nope, it's still all about the Pentiums.

Wow, I liked this song the first time I heard it...4 MONTHS AGO. It's a sad day for Fark when it's behind my friends on Myspace who live in the sticks who post this on their Myspace blogs.

Don't be mad Subby, you can always continue submitting videos from Around the Net on Attack of the Show.

Hey, this economy isn't hurting all of us so badly. In my neck of the woods, it's still all about the Jeffersons.

/Movin' on up...

Washington's on the US $1, right?

No, I'm pretty sure he's on the US quarter

Yeah, chill out subby. Haven't your tears irritated your skin yet? You probably don't even belong to any Facebook groups, or even warcraft guilds. Try to control all your anger and jealousy, subby.

Yeah, hate to say it, but this is a recurrent article:

old news is old. did your grandpa just see this on MTV2 last night? Subby

Don't call it a comeback!

Beccara: Wierd Al, one of the few true artists left.

Fantastic song!

I see what you did there. You used satire to poke fun at a satirist. You couldn't possibly believe that a guy who takes popular songs and swaps out words for other words that sound similar is one of the few true arrtists left.

Weird Al is like that pimple on my ass, they never seem to go away.

Bill_Wick's_Friend: Funny.....but depressing.

Yeah, I recognized a few too many things in that song.

NorCalLos: I see what you did there. You used satire to poke fun at a satirist. You couldn't possibly believe that a guy who takes popular songs and swaps out words for other words that sound similar is one of the few true arrtists left.

Meh, you get a 2/10 there.

The shtick is old and people aren't going to bite anymore.

Not to shiat on the parade or anything, but shouldn't this be under the music tab? Yes, it is in Youtube, but there isn't really a "video," it's just the audio with a still image...

That was

Whatevs. I realize his schtick is old, but that doesn't make me a troll. Weird Al is mildly amusing, but nothing any morning dj or adolescent with too much time on his hands couldn't do. One of the few true artists left, he is not. If that makes me a troll, so be it.

I hope it doesn't beat out Nirvana's recently released "Smells like Teen Spirit" in album sales

Wow. You're just plain ignorant. And your shtick is old, not his.

How about listening to one of his albums? Over half of his albums are original material. Not everything he does is parodies.

He's also remained relevant longer than most of the people he's parodied over the year. He's got a great ability to adapt, play and write multiple styles. If that doesn't make you a good artist, I don't know what does.

ALSO, I might add, he does a fantstic live show. One of the best, most energetic, fun live shows I've ever been to.

But go ahead and continue to prove what an idiot you are. It's fun to watch.

In another thread, I determined that the next great band name should be ASYMPTOTIC PANCAKES.

Do that and I'll buy your first album!

I've had this song for months.

Reggae band?

Not to mention the repeat from 2 weeks later:

Give Weird Al's new rap single "Whatever You Like" a listen for free. His parents would have wanted you to (new window)

Damn, Ramen's 15 cents now? I remember back when it was 7 cents.

Wait... It's only been a decade. WTF, is inflation really that bad? Or is that a market force, now that everyone is eating Ramen?

Somehow the 'I'll code HTML for food' doesn't seem so funny anymore.

Don't care if it's old, first time I heard it. Anyways, gonna give a big THIS to all the people here who heard parts of their life described in this song.

/Laid off journalist washing dishes.
//Cook sneaks me raw chickens

Seriously, if you're tight on money, get a job in a kitchen, cuts your food costs in half.

It is great to know that my every day existence over the last 30 years has been put into a song about how crappy the world has become.

The only reason we know this guy's name is because of the fame other people have gained through their art/music. Putting out albums every few years doesn't make you relevant. His voice is horrendous.

You are Weird Al's biggest fan. I am an idiot. Got it.

NorCalLos:
You are Weird Al's biggest fan. I am an idiot. Got it.

yup...thats about right

I will agree that this is old news due to the fact that the song has been available on his website for many weeks now. I will also agree that he is one of the best artists out there. Most people don't know that he makes original music, or that he can play almost any instrument. All the masses hear is the rehashed popular tunes. FOOLS THEY ARE!!!

/this is the life!

He's one of the few true artists because he initiated it first.

Just because youtube is filled with people who like swapping out words of popular songs because they watched too much Mad TV doesn't mean they would have figured out the formula back in the days of cassette tape.

jeffwashingdc: He's one of the few true artists because he initiated it first.

Allan Sherman. Spike Jones. More...

His best works by are:
1) UHF - (Spatula City!)

2) One more Minute with you - (I'd rather jump naked on a huge pile of thumbtacks)

This was released a while ago, wasn't it?

Are you asserting that "Weird" Al invented the song parody?

No, I'm pretty sure he's on the US quarter

both.

Thanks folks. Either way, it's apt.

You know, I was going to kill myself today, but then I visited Fark and saw a flamewar in a Weird Al thread and thought, "You know, maybe my life isn't so sad and pathetic that it can't possibly get worse."

Thank you, Fark.

Old yes, but it is a fun break from all the bad economic news.

And he is very talented. Anyone who knows the skill it takes to be a good musician and looked at how he can do any style, has a huge vocal range, does awesome original work, and a kickass live show would notice. He and his band are also very nice and classy guys. Is he to everyone's preference? Of course not.
