I don't think the weird Al band gets enough credit. They have played parodies of every genre of popular music since the early eighties. Very talented musicians.
Absolutely. You know Al starts writing immediately when "Give It Away" comes out and is clearly a hit. He's got to get the spoofs out fast while the source material is still hot and culturally relevant. So he goes to his bassist and says "Listen, I'm writing a RHCP parody, I need you to figure out Flea's bassline, we're recording Friday." Yes that band is amazing, they have to learn and master these songs by ear very quickly.
For some he just plays the music in the back ground
Yep. Going from Devo, to Nirvana, his band has been absolutely solid with everything they do.....including this masterpiece!
I would also draw attention to their polka versions of everything in popular culture.
"they" it's "He"
Handy is one of the funniest for sure, horrible genre but his lyrics are awesome
"Got a baby elephant vacuum clean-ah" just kills me. Long live Weird Al!!
Got a pterodactyl for a windshield wipe-ah lmao
That's my favorite line, makes me laugh every time.
My favorite line! 😂😂😂
That has to be one of his best delivered lines in his entire music career. 🤣
Was just reading this comment at the exact moment he sang it 🤟🏻🤣
Can we talk about how he combines video parodies of Blind Melon's No Rain and Red Hot Chilli Pepper's Under The Bridge and Give Away, I love his combination of musical and visual comedy
No. We can’t talk about that.
Also Under the bridge and give it away are different songs. They have a song called under the bridge, and one called give it away
I don’t know which of those three is the funniest
He's a musical genius
@@ryanwalker6487 Give it Away Under the Bridge sounds awesome
I love how Dick Van Patten just sort of shows up randomly in various Weird Al videos
i wonder how many videos he was in
Dick Van Patten - Weird Al's muse...now gone, RIP...
Dick Van Patten - “Weird Al” Yankovic’s lucky charm for a few projects in the ’90s. Aside from this music video, he also appeared in the one for “Smells Like Nirvana” and was also on _The Weird Al Show_ for its brief run in 1997.
I didn't realize that's who that was, thanks for pointing that out.
@@comedy5939 I don't know, but I think Eight'd be enough.
Weird Al is a total comedic genius. Period.
This reminds me of; when I first came over to the East San Jose Tully Rd Chuck E. Cheese Pizza Time Theater, I've seen the modern day VG (video game) machine that spits out ticket stubs. This VG (video game) machine is called 'Quarry Quest,' it features the 'Flintstones.' And it's true you know.
The ticket stubs you get from the modern VG (video game) machine, you could win prizes with these things. Like what are the toy prizes that are on the wall.
A musical and comedic Michelangelo. We are very lucky to have him.
Weird Al is a total genius. Period
King of Parody. Untouched
It's amazing how weird al released this 8 years after his assassination. Truly a legend.
What?
@@TelephonePlays no he's still alive those are fake stories
@@TelephonePlays in his parody film "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story", he was assassinated at the end
@lorem ipsum omg thanks haha
@@loremipsum1199if you watched the end credits scene you would know that he came back as a musical zombie to take revenge on Madonna
This is probably the funniest Weird Al song ever written. He's 100x funnier than most stand up comedians, or talk show hosts, today.
Thank you very much! P.S. Elvis Presley.
100x more talented and skilled also.
What about another tattoo?
Yabba dabba do now💪🪔
I recorded this song off the radio when I was around 11 years old. I played it, stopped it, and wrote down the lyrics. 😂 then I went out and got the Alapalooza cassette. I loved it! What awesome memories 😍🥰🙏
Back in the good old days when you had to sit and wait for a song to come on the radio then you record it. No google so you get your pen and pad out and do what you did. 😎
You guys are definitely my generation lol
Nice! 🎉
Alapalooza was the first compact disc I ever owned. B4 that all I had were Mc hammer cassettes
Every so often I think of "GOT A BABY ELEPHANT VACUUM CLEANER", and I know it's time to revisit this classic
"He who's tired of Weird Al is tired of life."
Homer Simpson
+Douglas Roth true , my kids not really really my nieces and nephs and theirs love weird al some people just don't get it oh well
I loved that episode.
+Caleb Hutton Me too! I mean... There was some parts in the episode that made me want to blow my brains out over the TV screen but it was funny.
Right?!? people are crAzY if they gEt tIred of wierd al
People get tired of him after one song and begin to dislike him
After all these years, my spouse still comes home and yells, "Where's Wilma?? Anybody seen her? Got a baby elephant va-cuum clean-ah!"
Does he mean by Wilma is you??
Being a fellow Rothschild, how much wealth have you inherited??
Lol 😂😂
I think the real genius of Weird Al is he even parodies the guitar tones 😂
I loved the blind melon bee girl at the beginning.
yessssss
According to the Liners' notes on Weird Al's greatest hits DVD, it was the actual bee Girl from the Blind Melon video.
Props on her having such a good sense of humor about herself.
the sound effects used made it funnier
I wish I'd stop being reminded that Blind Melon exists. Especially when people talk about grunge then somehow bring up Blind Melon.
@@kaijucifer3544 Why, what's wrong with them?
It's like mentioning the sixties beat groups and somebody saying "I wish I could forget about the Herman's hermits."
It's clear that not only did Weird Al work really hard on this video and put in a lot of his creativity. He also had a lot of fun making it. The guy's a visionary, and there's no denying that the video for the original song was also strange and fun to watch.
Can't deny Weird Al's talent of making parodies sound as good as the originals.
Or, in some rare cases, actually better. Wordcrimes comes to my head.
When Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits would only let Weird Al parody "Money For NothingBeverly Hillbillies" if he got to record the guitar riff.
I love how he also parodies the videos in the process. It adds to his genius.
@@IamusTheFox it's all about the pentiums has a different and imo much catchier beat than it's all about the benjamins
What are you talking about? Weird Al only makes original music
This is gold! Tighter than the original and way more fun. I loved the Flintstones as a kid and then the Peppers as a teen. What an absolute gem!
Imagine just stumbling across this shoot in the desert. You think you'd died and gone to some hitherto incomprehensible afterlife.
I'd think the 'shrooms were kicking in..... ;)
I'd probably think that really was a peyote cactus.
Say hither again. Say hither one more goddamn time.
We were halfway to Bedrock when the Flintstones vitamins began to take hold.
Area 51 3/4
Every once in while I come back to stuff like this to remind myself what a genius Al is. Watch the original video, watch this. Nearly a shot-for-shot visual parody as well. Brilliant. When I have a bad day, Al makes me smile. :D
A lot of his videos of parody songs are like this, including with the original artist helping out. Michael Jackson gave Weird Al the address of the subway station used for his Bad video so Weird Al could shoot the video for Fat in the same location
When you have a bad hair day?
Some day there's gonna be kids who don't know about this, or the UHF.
Nobody ever knows these parodies when I bring them up, and they're amazed when they see them. Weird al's stuff is so far ahead of his time, true genius.🙌
I can’t listen to Under the Bridge without expecting Give It Away breaking in because of Al. This is his influence.
YEP. EVERY. TIME.
Yup!
Then these lyrics start creeping in...
Anthony of the Chili Peppers said "we knew we had really ARRIVED...when Weird Al wants to do some of our music..." unlike Coolio he did not get hot about it.
Kiedis never said that, to my knowledge. You might be thinking of Dave Grohl who said something similar about "Smells Like Nirvana." But yeah, Coolio was an ass about his parody.
I believe I heard Kiedis say it, in real time during an MTV interview.
banjonator1 I think Al and Coolio hugged it out later, though.
If he did it was only after he got huge amounts of negative comments for saying this was terrible. He was a huge jerk. Guess he was jealous of the greater talent.
Coolio-who? Oh, the old bald guy who WAS a rapper;}
The time that is put into every song and video is outstanding
"Gotta Pterodactyl for a windshield wiper" unironically goes hard.
That and “Gotta baby elephant vacuum cleaner”
kinda funny thing was that often the 'tools' the Flinstones used often commented on being used themselves when they some kind of animal. like when Fred used a squirrel as a paintbrush the squirrel commented that he hoped he would not forget to clean because he hated going home with a sticky tail.
Now this is a refreshing thread! I love the wiper part🤣🤣 ... it fit perfectly in that part🤟
@@velvety2006 "it's a living!"
0:00 - Blind Melon "No rain"
0:10 - RHCP "Under the bridge"
0:46 - RHCP "Give it away".
Laughed my head of at this one :-))
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ha!! Never noticed that he said "be the first Rolling Stone subscriber."
As a massive Red Hot Chili Peppers fan this is hilarious
I agree this is brilliant
+Noiretirc The Peppers hated it. Saw an interview where Flea said they love Weird Al, but hated this, and didn't feel like he tried very hard here. Hell, I think he nailed them, personally...
+dkelly26666 A shame they have no sense of humor. It is one of the most brilliant parodies I have ever seen.
+guitta Dabe Well we do. That's gonna have to be good enough.
+dkelly26666 Some people are good sports about being sent up, Michael for one for "Eat It" and "Fat", some are not Peppers and Coolio, respectively.
Weird Am is one of the only parody artists to become part of the mainstream and have huge hits.Sometimes his songs are better than the ones he is parodying
@YoMamaDoctorWigugleder al*
Some of the originals are forgotten over time yet his parody versions often endure.
Weird Am
His songs are always better than the originals.
I love how this has Dick Van Patten in it for no particular reason.
This would have been the best theme song to the Flintstones ever.
it is on the movie soundtrack
@@davincent98 It is? Hmm
@@musiclover_kb4913 Yes, and if you watch the closing credits you can hear this song!
What I always like about Weird Al's videos is how much watching them made me want to go back and watch the originals. And then have a second revelation with how clever he was to duplicate the intent and energies of the originals with his parody. He truly is a brilliant artist all on his own.
I feel like this just came out yesterday but its been 20 years or so. Never gets old.
😂 I grew up watching the Flintstones; I loved that cartoon. I also love this song and Al's lyrics and production are genius!
the more i see Al's work,the more i LIKE it!!!
me too
I was blown away when I discovered RHCP and learned that this is two songs mashed together.
Saw Weird Al in concert and they played for over 2 hours. It was awesome!!
Original Songs: "Under The Bridge/Give It Away" by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
And with reference to one of my favourites cartoon series: The Flinstones.
Weird Al did it awesome.
Weird Al is the most underrated artist of our time.
***** Underrated? How so? Everybody loves Weird Al, he's always been really popular.
Kobe Busia Kind of like keeping stats on my favorite team, I got into checking out views on Weird Al and my personal nemesis to Al, Bart Baker. I don't like him because he's made millions, not with brains and talent, but by being a total jerk to the artists he parodies. I don't respect that. I hate to see this low level humour rewarded with popularity. But it is. He has millions of views on youtube, leaving an exceptional talent like Al, in the dust. I recently watched a Making of Straight Outta Lynwood video and was blown away by Al's musical abilities. That's why I posted that comment.
I know, glad he's going on tour!
+MrMagoo i think that popularity doesn't have relation with talent...... the exception is the Beatles.
That sounds about right. I consider myself a pretty independent person, so I look for quality. I wonder what makes someone who's not that good popular.
GOT A PTERODACTYL FOR A WINDSHIELD WIPER!!
Doesn’t get more gangster than that.
those high kicks are very impressive, and really kind of all of the physical stuff he does in this video
A mix of No rain and Under the bridge intro? That's genius!
ThAtFuNkybOy give it away
Joseffo No that intro's from Under the bridge
ThAtFuNkybOy yeah I thought u were talking about the whole song at first
ThAtFuNkybOy No he was talking about the girl in the bee suit dumb shit.
Joseffo n
Weird Al is just awesome. I've listened to him since I was a kid and I still do. It's just hilarity.
do you still
Dick Van Patten appearance again is sure genius!
How did this Jem slip through my fingers? Now my life is complete. I love Weird Al!
I heard Flea said he didn't think this was that good. I'm shocked because this is great. It's really dead on and hysterical. I would think the Chili Peppers would have loved it.
You would think a bunch of guys that wore socks on their manhood on stage would have pretty decent senses of humor and would get that it is okay to laugh at yourself.....if you don't get the humor....you are clueless and as arrogant as the rest of the a&&holes living in Hollyweird.....get over yourself, Flea...your fucking named after a microscopic worthless insect.....you MUST be able to laugh at yourself....especially such a spot on parody.....you just can't admit Al made a better video than RHCP!!
I don’think it’s one of his best. It’s not bad, but not brilliant
Flea's butthurt because Al's band rocks.
Lol, I remember seeing Flea all pissy about it in an interview on MTV. But then again, I also heard Coolio wasn't cool with his parody Al did.
if you're asked permission to have YOUR song parodize by al, you have made it.
I wonder if bedrock had any stoners.
Mhm
jbrothers221 You make a decent pun and noone gets it. *sigh* The average population is getting less and less intelligent. I would say i am fairly average. Well if i were about 6 years in the past. I am a bit over average now. And atleast got your pun.
Agreed
what kind of stones in particular
Kowz of Rule all the stones. Even medicinal ones.
How could there be any dislikes to a comedic genius ? Laughter is the best medicine, if you can't have a good laugh what are you going to do sit around and cry all day ? 🙊🙉🙈
Rubble, trouble, caveman stubble.
The man is a modern day Shakespeare.
I would just be petting the appliances all day. "Who's a good little vacuum cleaner? You are, yes you are."
me too!XD
You have one of the best profile pictures for this video.
James Compton Awww thanks!:)
No problem. GO CHEESE SANDWICH!
James Compton HECK YEAH
Every time I watch this, there is something new I notice :D
Just saw the "kick me"-sign :D
"Well, if it isn't Al Yankstone! I haven't seen you in years!"
Weird Al is like no other, he spoofs songs and makes you love them!!
Good Reference for Blind Melon lol
+Show do Incognito IKR NO RAIN MY SONG
No rain is my song not your's XD
no rain is very nice song, i adore
Love that i'm not the only one who noticed!:D
I've just now noticed
There are times in my life when I randomly have to yell: 🎶GOT A BABY ELEPHANT VACCUUM CLEANER!!!!
This perfectly parodies the caveman personna of the RHCP. I love the fact that they didn't like it. It's Al's job to puncture the pomposity of pop singers.
Al is a genius.
That first 45 seconds alone is pure gold 🤣🤣
This is definitely one of Al's best, funniest and parodies of a band
Weird Al is a musical creative genius. Induct him into the RnR hall of fame
I adore Weird Al. He is so down to earth. 🥰
Oh, this song rocks so hard!
🎵Gotta baby elephant vacuum clean-a!!🎶🤘😤
😆
My 6 and 7 year old are HUGE fans we love listening to weird al
Probably the most well written weird al song!.. love it!!
Not a chance this beats the saga begins!
Crime words, Grammar Nazi propaganda at top
Jerry Springer can't be beat !
it's all about the pentiums, yo.
@@robertz768 "My computer's got the clocks, it rocks, but it was obsolete before I opened the Box!"
I always laugh so hard at both when the guitarist causally pushes that poor girl backwards with his foot and when Al realises the "upskirt" shot and covers himself lol!
I'm fairly certain that if I was inside Weird Al's mind for a moment, I would go completely insane from a combination of too much laughter and exposure to pure genius.
A Dick Van Patton cameo. It's so random and odd and hilarious.
Got a baby elephant vacuum Clean eh!
lmao yes! that's Funny as hell
And a tridactyl wind-shield-wi-peh.
Favorite line 🌝
This might be my favorite "Weird Al" video. He did the original videos SO WELL. And those aren't easy videos to duplicate! It really shows his talents as a director. I think this was the first one he directed (if you're not counting "Christmas At Ground Zero").
I enjoy his Word Crimes more than the original Blurred lines!
Fleas should have just said thank you if weird Al yankovic covers your music.its a compliment dum dum
The whole thing beautiful!
Al is a national treasure.
I love it how Weird Al actually got Heather DeLoach to reprive her Bee Girl persona for this video.
He made The Flintstones relevant again.
Well you take the advice of give it away now and you’ll probably end up back in the Stone Age (developmentally speaking and also with severe case of Gonorrhoea)
I remember Cartoon Network in the Netherlands actually used this song and made a full music video with clips from the show. Never knew back then it was from Weird al or that it even was a parody of RHCP
Cracking me up!
This video never gets old.
Thanks, Al ..and the band.
Honestly, Al's soft voice in the beginning is almost identical to Anthony's
With great parodies like this, Weird Al needs to be honored at the Kennedy Center Honors
I can't believe he put two songs together. (Under the bridge and give it away now) now that's an accomplishment. 🤣
Where's Wilma anybody seen her, She got a baby elephant vacuum cleaner! Thats just a genius freaking line right there because she really does have one.
I would have only thrown Cant Stop from rhcp into this great medley but still you have made an evergreen Mr Yankovic.
Now this song is ABOUT something!
Awesome!
This is why being parodied by Weird Al is a plus.
He just did Red Hot Chili Peppers. The uncoverable.
Hmm?
Hmm?
Aha!
@@sideoutside wh- was that a spyro reference?
Actually it was an Aleister Crowley - The Book of Lies reference, lol. Chapter 1 is: "?" Chapter 2 is: "!" The "!" Represents understanding, or "Aha!"
I haven't seen this video in years and I'd forgotten just how great this is. How can anyone with even a marginal education and relatively normal sense of humor not love and appreciate Al Yankovic? He is the best.
Yaba daba yaba daba yaba do now!
I came in know it was Weird Al. I forgot for a second or two and thought this was Red Hot Chili Peppers. Then the weirdness brought me back and I started laughing my butt off xD I love you, Weird Al!
RIP Dick Van Patton 0:54
enigmamz Van Patten also appeared in Weird Al's "Smells Like Nirvana" video as well.
artytoons yeah and that parody MAKES MORE SENSE TO ME then the original which is rare :D
The beginning of this video was the Bee Girl 🐝 from Blind Melon’s “No Rain” video.
Massive thumbs up for me never noticing that Weird Al was making fun of Anthony Kiedis's wonky teeth in this video.
I loved all the mouth close-ups...and the guy w/ the Mickey Mouse ears and jump rope @ the end....
I like how they threw in the Blind Melon Bee girl
"Where's Wilma? Anybody seen her? Got a baby elephant vacuum cleaner!" best--lyric--EVER.
When we were kids my dad had Alapalooza cd and we would listen to the whole thing start to finish over and over laughing . Still just just as funny now .
Weird Al is the most underrated artist of our time.
Yabadabadabadaba doo now!
The thing I actually love about Al is that, even though he doesn't have to, since parody is protected by law, he asks the artists if it's okay if he does his parody, and if they say no, he doesn't do it. I actually remember watching, I think it was one of those old Behind the Music episodes, obviously focusing on Weird Al, and Flea said he really thought this song....basically sucked.
If they ever make another Flintstones movie, then they need to use this in it.
Like...did Weird Al just walk onto the RHCP film set RIGHT after they were done? This video copies it SO well!!!
I played this for my firend and he was blown away by the transition at the beginning
Glorious!
I was on the set when this was shot. Got to hang with the Bee Girl. I got you guys the cartoons images for the tattoos that Rosanne put on your arms. We had a gay old time!
:24 killed me when Al came on bare chested and with the long, pretty wig on to look like Anthony in the “Under the Bridge” video
Here's why Yankovic is so dangerous. RHCP 'Give it Away', released Sept. 4th, 1991. Yankovic 'Bedrock Anthem', released Nov. 16th, 1993. And it's held up better. Think about that! And soak in the appreciation for everyone. Because one cannot exist without the other. And we love them both.
