"Weird Al" Yankovic - Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (1978)
A recording so obscure it had completely passed me by until recently, massive props to CB_Johnny for adding this song into his extensive Weird Al discography. This is a snippet of a longer skit done to promote Al's college radio show, "The Weird Al Show", recorded on June 10, 1978. I'll probably getting around to uploading a lot of those radio promotions eventually.

"Weird Al" Yankovic - Stop Draggin' My Car Around (Demo 2; 1981)
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.6 месяцев назад
"Stop Draggin' My Car Around", a parody of "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" by Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty, was a song released on Al's first album in 1983. There were three demo versions recorded over 1981, this being the second of those, recorded in late August 1981. I couldn't find much info on any of these demos, Al and Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz are presumably playing on it, but I haven't been a...

"Weird Al" Yankovic Live at Cedar Rapids Radio Ad (c.1981)
Просмотров 594Год назад
This is one is a real oddity. This is, I think, Al's oldest radio ad which was promoting a show in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. According to Bermuda Schwartz, Al's drummer and official archivist, this is from 1981. If it is, then it's the oldest evidence of Al performing a live show outside of California. The ad says that you could get a signed copy of Another One Rides the Bus, though it's not clear wh...
"Weird Al" Yankovic - Yoda Demo (1981)
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.Год назад
"Yoda", a parody of "Lola" by The Kinks, is probably among Al's most famous parodies. It was originally recorded in late 1980 and early 1981, before it was sent to the Dr. Demento Show. It first aired on the radio on April 19, 1981. This song was meant to appear on Al's first album, even having a new studio recording made for it, but there were a few copyright issues with stopped it from being ...
"Weird Al" Yankovic - Mr Frump in the Iron Lung Guitar Demo (1979)
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.Год назад
"Mr. Frump in the Iron Lung" is one of Al's oldest songs, and definitely the oldest song on his first album. The song has several different versions from before the first album, one of them being a demo with a guitar played by Jon Iverson. As far as I can tell, this is the only full recording we have of Al and Jon playing together. This is also, I believe, the last version of Mr. Frump to be fo...
"Weird Al" Yankovic Live at Reseda Country Club - (3/21/81)
Просмотров 948Год назад
This show is a pretty important one for a couple reasons. Al's official website lists this as their first official live show, this is Al's first show with Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz, and it was his first major live show after graduating from Cal Poly. Besides Al and Bermuda, the show also featured Jovial Joan, Sulu, Damaskas, Beefalo Bill, and Musical Mike Kiefer. Time Stamps: 1:40 - My Bologna 4:2...
Barnes and Barnes - Gotta Get a Fake ID (Live; 3/15/81) (Feat. "Weird Al" Yankovic)
Просмотров 892Год назад
Barnes and Barnes were a novelty group formed by Bill Mumy and Robert Haimer in 1970. They're probably most known for their 1978 song "Fish Heads", which became a staple on the Dr. Demento Show upon release. This recording is a live performance of the song "Gotta Get a Fake ID" from their first album "Voobaha". The song and live recording feature Art and Artie (Bill and Robert) on vocals for th...
"Weird Al" Yankovic - Mr. Frump in the Iron Lung (1981)
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.Год назад
"Mr. Frump in the Iron Lung" is one of Al's oldest songs, and was his oldest song to make it onto an album. It was originally recorded in 1977 and may have been co-written by Vince Sanchez. This specific recording was made in December 1980 at Al's college and was released on his first EP, "Another One Rides the Bus" on February 1, 1981.
"Weird Al" Yankovic - Week of Welcome (1980)
Просмотров 600Год назад
This is a promotional piece Al made for his college, Cal Poly, back in 1980. This was his third year of appearing in the "Week of Welcome" promotional discs, and this was the only year where he was given practically free reign over the script. This was likely made around September 1980.
"Weird Al" Yankovic - More Songs About Food (Live; 11/11/79)
Просмотров 984Год назад
"More Songs About Food" is the earliest version of Al's 'food medley'. Throughout most live shows from 1979-1995, Al performed a medley of short food parodies, usually those that Al didn't think could be made into full songs. The earliest recording of this medley, at this point titled "More Songs About Food" (a jab at the Talking Heads' "More Songs About Buildings and Food"). It includes: Cramp...

What's your email? I have some music videos never uploaded to the official weird al channel and a higher Quality version of american slob
It's still Billy joel to me slowed
Yayyyy!
You stink
Genius!
I heard that this was the same recording from the 0rg¥ on my own performance.
Is this one of the legendary songs that he supposedly recorded in a bathroom?
One of Al’s best pre album songs
Why such a short clip 😢
*summertime Blues
Hey, Weird Al. You should parody your own song “Amish Paradise” and name it “Hipster Paradise”. Lots of material at your disposal nowadays.
14:39 Jimmy Fallon had to steal the Community Sing-a-long from Dr. Demento!! Dr. Demento and Al. Such joy!!
ALS HAIR THO 😻😭
Pearl wrote “Won’t See It Again” just yesterday, I like Al’s work it’s genius.
This is peak tbh
He could probably have just done this song as satire about a resentful guy who can't stand that Billy is actually so good. Another Billy Joel parody that did have a mean but very funny line in it was Spiderman. "Yes he's wearing that dumb Power Rangers mask, but he's scarier without it on."
Seeing Al with curly hair and glasses but no moustache, and a clean-shaven face yet no long hair, feels... Eerie.
👍 👍 Cool! 👍 👍
AL IS SO CUTE WTF ☹️🫶
The goat is back
THAT’S Awesome
One of my favorites off the first album!
Is this the very first recording? Like the one on Demento's show? Around when Al met Bermuda?
Yep, and it was on Al's first album in 1983
@@connordehaven7341 Wow
This song is about no one takes a shower and have bad hygiene. I wrote “You Don’t Talk Anymore” just now. I love Al’s work, he sure makes songs funny.
#Legend
IDC WHAT ANYONE SAYS THIS SONG GIVES ME CHILLS IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY !!
More Songs About Food is a KCPR bathroom recording that aired a week later. This Food Medley, although remarkably similar and has a lyric with a similar title, isn't More Songs About Food.
Should have given this the full studio treatment with the full band.
He didn’t have a band at this point but I do think there’s a live performance with the whole band
I forgot Weird Al sang this! And me looking for Billy Joel songs and this popped up.😂😂 Thank you, God for Dr. Demento & Weird Al, and Billy Joel for not suing.
Billy Joel can't sue for a parody.
I never heard this song at first, but it sounds great and hilarious. Cody wrote “Brooke and Brooklyn” just now. Weird Al Yankovic is a genius, how did he come up with these songs?.
My favorite Weird Al song!!
This had leaked and circulated as far back as the mid 2000s. Granted, genuine leaks aren't acknowledged on DMDB so the misinformation isn't surprising.
This is the unofficial Leisure Suit Larry theme song.
Here's hoping it's soon for me
hey I Remember and Heard this song this weekend…👺👺👺☠️☠️☠️☠️🧽🧽🤖☃️
Do you happen to have the 2018 iteration?
more relevant now than ever! thanx Al!
Billy Joel's face fumed red under pressure Angry lawyers wrote Al a strongly-worded letter Lawsuits, Al said "oops", record label gave the boot It's just a Weird Al parody
None of that happened. Al just thought it was too mean and decided not to put in on his album. Billy Joel just brushed it off as some nobody making fun of him, but then performed it live a few times as a sign of good humor. Quit making shit up.
@@gabe_s_videos my comment was just a parody of this parody, but it was honestly so shitty i think i deserve more negative responses
🙋 'PromoSM'
Love Love Love....😆
Who’s singing with him?
I saw two versions of this song when I looked at the lyric sheets. Considering there's a shortened version, this song could've been included in Weird Al's medleys too
Hes so cute im losing my mind
Ramones could've covered this song
Weird Al didn't go to college for nothing.
ive heard Al talk about being on the Dr Demento show for a long time. but hearing it is awesome! the show was a bit before my time.
