What's your honest opinion of this guy?
What's your honest opinion of this guy?
Jack Diaz
Brody Gray
he was the first musician I took interest in so I appreciate him for that
Mason Rivera
he's a legend
Luis Perry
He tries too hard but he's a cool dude
Nathan Lopez
I think we've all had a phase where we liked Weird Al. He's a swell guy.
David Roberts
Weird Al is great. UHF is an underrated movie too.
Julian Allen
i applaud him for being the premier parody musician for over 30 years. that's genuinely impressive given parody acts should get old before a carton of milk does
>He tries too hard
explain
Eli Fisher
I went through a Weird Al phase in 8th grade. He's a cool dude, and his music, while aimed towards kids, still remains funny to me to this day.
Benjamin Torres
While his parodies are fun, where Yankovic really shines is when he writes a song in the style of another artist. I feel like he was able to imitate The Beach Boys, Foo Fighters, and They Might Be Giants for example on "Pancreas," "My Own Eyes," and "Everything You Know is Wrong" for example.
Jeremiah Rodriguez
He did Devo better than Devo.
Xavier Campbell
I saw Weird Al in a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh! Thank you very much!” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and playing his accordion and making me laugh really hard. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him blow a whistle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw Weird Al trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Make A Wish kids while everyone else cheered and sang the "Amish Paradise" while holding candles.The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you are a beacon of light on an otherwise stormy day. Please play us a song!” At first he pretending to be tired and not hear her, but after he helped an elderly couple put their groceries into the back of their mid-sized sedan, he came back around and played "Another One Rides the Bus" 15 times in a row because people wouldn't stop requesting it.
Jack Lewis
Unironically a great song
youtube.com
Albuquerque is also one of his best original songs
Blake Jones
Woah he sounds like a pretty cool guy and doesn't afraid of anything
Jack Wright
The first person I saw in concert
Zachary Reyes
he's a nice guy and able musician, but I have real trouble understanding why such a person would devote their life to throwaway music
Joshua Anderson
hardware store is genuinely amazing
my favorite originals would have to be Genius in France and Jackson Park Express though. I love Zappa and Cat Stevens and both are spot fucking on when it comes to both. His "style parodies" are less parody and more loving tribute to artists he enjoys and admires and you can really tell
Parker Wright
Because it's fun
Owen Parker
i doubt that was his plan, but it happened that way i suppose
Henry Ortiz
yeah I just feel like music is a way to express and communicate feelings and turning it into a joke as a career would really wear me down
I mean I admire the guy's professionalism and all, but maybe that's why he calls himself weird
Lucas Jackson
comedy music is shit and for dorks
Jace Lopez
...
Julian Howard
best song he ever made
Colton Campbell
you take music too seriously
David Cooper
look I like a good novelty song now and again but cranking them out for decades would probably make me want to kill myself
has he ever done serious music? I'd like to hear it
Xavier Hill
youtube.com
prob my favourite
Dylan Thomas
best version of this pasta
Christian Torres
It's impressive how little hate Weird Al gets on here.
Jaxon Diaz
well he is the nicest guy in showbiz, so....
Hunter Gonzalez
I'd be very interested in seeing Al's attempt at "serious" music too, maybe when he reaches 60 he'll retire from releasing parodies and novelty songs and make Zappa-esque avant-pop tunes
Lincoln Bailey
Even though I don't listen to his music very much any more, every time I do I enjoy myself. He's actually pretty talented (more than many mainstream acts that make it big), funny and a genuine guy. What's not to like?
I'll always remember when my friend let me borrow his weird al DVD when I was 12.
Elijah Kelly
In 3-D [Rock 'n' Roll, 1984]
I don't want to belabor the obvious (that's Al's job), but this is Mad for the ears. Still, Mad does hit dead on now and then, and with a lot of help from its target so does "Eat It." Palatable follow-ups: the free-swinging "Polkas on 45," which goes Joe Piscopo ten better, and "Mr. Popeil," which exploits Yankovic's otherwise fatal resemblance to Fred Schneider. C+
Josiah Young
Absolutley deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Surprising vocal range. Lyrics are clever for his target audience (age 8-12), hell of a lot better than Raffi for children's music.
Seems like the nicest dude in the world to boot. Probably secretly homosexual.
Nolan Moore
Better than his pigeon hole.
Tyler Davis
This is the final nail in the coffin for this faggot. Insufferable.
Joshua Murphy
If you don't like this then don't come 'round here no more.
John Hernandez
"Dare to be Stupid" was based on Devo I'm pretty sure. Plus, it was used in Transformers 1986 which just adds to the enjoyment factor for me.
Noah Rodriguez
'member that time did a song with our brian?
Evan Adams

Best Al comin through
Joshua Taylor

Another classic
Jacob Sullivan
UHF was basically youtube before youtube existed.
Thomas Kelly
Basically that user thinks anyone who attempts anything without ironic detachment is a tryhard.
Leo Miller
My Pancreas is a great song
