I know being "Weird" is quite literally his thing, but there's always been something off about him to me. I feel like he molested me as a kid even though he didn't. Anyway, Genius in France is top tier Al
he probably did get molested, but liked it
Imagine getting molested so hard you grow up to be Weird Al Yankovic
you can see it in his eyes
so many inanimate objects were crammed up his ass
not big on him but was surprised to hear how revered he is in the comedy scene. seemed like he'd get scoffed at.
he looks jewish. is he jewish?
The way he asks permission to do parodies actively hurts the music industry by setting a bad precedent
He would have been better if he didn't get into such a stale rut and make the same album (half song parodies that recreate a recent hit, half style parodies of a popular band, plus the polka medley) over and over and over again, but if he was artistically viable, he wouldn't have sold millions of records. It's a shame because his accordion-driven debut shows that he once had some creativity in him.
Better hope so, wouldn't want no goy with a song like this

He's the most famous alumni in my sister's school yet the school doesn't acknowledge him. Sad day for Mustangs.
I suspect he has Polish Jewish ancestry, although I've heard that he is a devoted Christian that reguarly attends church.
New album when??
He's half yugoslav and that's it.
>It's a shame because his accordion-driven debut shows that he once had some creativity in him.
You're making the moronic implication that writing comedy somehow takes less talent and creativity.
He's a good comedian and I really like his copped up interviews, but his music kinda sucks.
>please… help me
I mean, a lot of his stuff is just straight lyrical substitution. He barely writes songs at all.
He’s not even weird
the internet's kinda made him not all that weird in comparison, but "Purposefully kitschy" Al doesn't have any ring to it. Most bands today are all aesthetic without the humor
Amish Paradise and Jerry Springer are better than the original.
bands today substitute the humour for "irony".
irony is easier than actual humor, it's closer to just 'insincerity'
>amish paradise
>better than the original
I love Al's stuff but holy shit that's some really bad taste. Unless you're dumb enough to refer to Gangsta Paradise as the "original".
Gangsta’s Paradise is the original you brainlet, that’s the song he’s parodying, that’s why he asked Coolio for permission
