Great reaction! Most people who have reacted to this fail to notice that his music video is also a parody of the original. In fact, he copied it so close that Michael trained him on some of his dance moves and also let him use most of the dancers from his original video.
Al is a genius. I recommend finding a list of the songs he has parodied and watching the videos of songs you know and/or like. He's been at it for almost 40 years with a lot more hits than misses.
There's an interview on RUclips of Eddie Van Halen talking about the guitar solo session. Eddie says he plugging in and started shredding to warm up and Michael Jackson said that's perfect we have the take. It was literally over before Eddie Van Halen started! Eddie did say he later did rearrange the rhythm riff behind the solo and Michael liked what he did with it. The whole session took 20 minutes and Eddie didn't even ask to be credited at the time even though it would have made him a huge ton of royalties when the song became the hit it was and the amount of albums Thriller sold.
The solo in this song is provided by Rick Derringer, who was Weird Al's producer at the time, and a fine guitarist in his own right. That's not him in the video though of course.
To be clear, Richiec59 is talking about the original Michael Jackson recording, not the Weird Al parody. Eddie did walk away with two twelve packs of beer off the deal, as that was all he asked for.
MJ was a HUGE Weird Al fan. Not only did he give Al permission to do his songs, but he also took him to the same locations so he could use them and the same actors/extras. AND he even took the time to teach Al the same dance moves, just to make the videos more authentic!
Always loved Weird Al since the beginning!! Check out that joint Amish Paradise if you haven’t already. Coolio was not happy with Weird Al’s rendition, which is funny because most musicians would consider it an honor to become a parody
Yes the original solo was performed by Eddie Van Halen. For the Parody, the solo was performed by the Album's producer, Rick Derringer. But here is the unquie thing, the guy that plays the guitar when it explodes is not Rick Derringer but band member Jim West. Jim West is a very talented guitarist and has won numerous awards for slack key guitar playing.
I heard Jackson lent him the jacket. Not sure how true that is but he did support music that sounds great so that would make sense. He loved Alien Ant Farm’s take on Smooth Criminal.
Lmfao 🤣 😂 🤣!!!!!!...... weird al is really too friggin funny!!..... you've got to see his "Amish paradise "( Coolio- gangsta paradise).... it's going to have you rolling 🤣😂🤣💕
7:08 The original solo in "Beat It" was done by Eddie Van Halen. Weird Al's "Eat It" solo was done by the song's producer, Rick Derringer, a rock legend. Derringer's first #1 hit ("Hang On Sloopy") was knocked off the top spot by the Beatles's "Michelle." But the Derringer song to react to is his '73 hit, "Rock and Roll, Hoochie Coo."
Thank you for doing more Weird Al! How can anyone not laugh and just enjoy his videos. But also, he is so talented at what he does. Who else can go 30+ years doing parodies like he has? 😁
Van , my sister and I had a Beat It Jacket!!! We were so cool! Lol! We lived in a town of 1200 people, and boy did we get strange looks!! “Those Olmstead girls”!Haha
On Michael Jackson's 'Beat it', the guitar solo was played by Eddie Van Halen, the late, legendary guitarist of Van Halen. He did the solo for free back in 1982... he played it w/ MJ at a Superbowl show. Weird Al's guitarist is Jim West... he's in the video and he's still in Weird Al's band today😂
At the end, Al and the gang did a brief homage to the Thriller dance, and the yellow-slitted eyes Weird Al had after putting the Alka Seltzer in the water was also a Thriller reference.
I love Weird Al's attention to detail in the videos as well as the songs themselves. He is paying homage to the original artist and no one does it better.
Weird Al has been the king of parodies for decades. Just like this video is hilarious because you know the original song, they’re all much better if you’ve heard/seen the originals. My parents were the same as yours. I had to finish my food. They actually used to say “people in China were starving”. They weren’t being mean, The average person didn’t have a lot of knowledge about proper diet back then. So I’ve struggled with my weight since I got out of high school. Although you took the punishments as a youth, I think it worked out for you in the long run brother.
You should do this side by side to Beat It. Al did an amazing job!!!! My mom made me sit there until my liver & onions were gone or my bedtime came. She used to tell me kids were staving in China & I said "send them my dinner!"
Thank God someone gets the "other kids are starving in Japan" line. Maybe it bc we're both Gen X but it seems like nobody 35 and under even knows where that comes from. BTW, if anyone is curious my mom would say that anytime I would fuss about not wanting to eat something on my plate, and I heard a lot of other kids mom's say it too. It's my all time favorite Weird Al line.
At the end of WWII, starvation was a very real thing in Japan. The US had a major push to bring foodstuffs to the islands. Most likely, Al's parents (and those of that generation) were told "kids are starving in Japan, you should eat all your food and not complain" without irony.
@@rhoetusochten4211 yeah, I know the origin of it and my mom never said it ironically to me, why would she make "ironic" starving kids jokes to her 5 year old? In fact, this song is the only time I've heard it used jokingly. I'm not sure what the point of your comment is.
@@FURTHER_ADO just that the younger folks of today, only knowing of Japan as either the mythical land of samurai and ninjas or the ultra-modern metropolitan nation of today, might not know.
There are always people who are so anal and say”well in 1945 people were starving in Japan because the war.” D’uh. Same was said of Germany (Berlin airlift anyone? Anyone?) The point is, There is no one starving in Japan in 1983. It’s my favorite line too! I have used that line ever since!
Someone uploaded a side-by-side video comparison with the original, and it's pretty neat to see how accurate the shots are, as well as spotting the differences within the shots.
Weird Al is SOO good at what he does cuz he replicates the environment and feeling of the original material so it makes it even funnier the greatest music spoof master ever
Weird Al and Michael Jackson were friends and Michael gave his approval for the parody songs and videos. Most of the dancers in this video are also in the MJ video. You have now entered the Weird Al rabbit hole. There are so many more songs and videos to check out. I don't know if you did Amish Paradise yet but that should be next..
I can't recommend enough watching the original before you watch Al's parodies - it just showcases his brilliance! Please do Amish Paradise and It's All About The Pentiums they are so much fun!
You need to do these "after bedtime" reactions occasionally. Love the energy in most of your videos, but seeing you in a more relaxed, chill state is refreshing brother! Hit that thannnggg
Surprisingly enough Michael Jackson was on set for every bit of this video as well as for the "fat" video. Great reaction Van. You should check out "weird" Al Yankovic's parody, of Coolio's "gangsta's Paradise", called "Amish Paradise".
I keep telling reactors to watch the original video first. Doesn't matter if you saw it before, refresh your memory. The "fart" sound is actually made with hands. And the guy can do a really good job of making a song with it.
I was in 1st grade when I became aware of pop music, and Jacko and especially "Beat It" was at the top of everything. I was honestly confused when other kids would sing both "Beat It" and "Eat It," alternately. I wondered, is the song "Beat It" or "Eat It?"
Eddie Van Halen did the original guitar solo for Beat It. David Lee Roth was not happy when he heard it because he thought that it was Eddie Van Halen’s best work and that it should’ve been used in a Van Halen song instead of Michael Jackson. In fact it is rumored that Beat It was the beginning of the end David and Eddie’s friendship.
I can't believe you have missed out on Weird Al all these years! You've been deprived! He's an absolute genius! Check out "Another One Rides The Bus" it's some of his early work.
What's even more impressive is watching this video side by side with the original "Beat It" video. It syncs up so well, with Al throwing spastic moves and other things for comedy!
He did this with MJ’s blessing & set up this set & the actors to match his 1983 Beat It video. I even read MJ was there on set. Same for “Fat”. Al does this frame for frame the same.
He was pretty well known before Eat It, but this is the song that shot him to superstardom. Michael Jackson himself was a huge fan. Weird Al not only used the same sets and Costumes from Beat It, he hired the same actors and dancers.
Not the first to say it, nor the first time I've said it, but the man is a genius. Even from the very beginning it was clear this man was in a league of his own. Not every song he does is about food but there are enough to make an entire album of just those tracks (which he did, it's called [The Food Album]). There's so much to appreciate with this artist and all the work he puts into his performances. 12/10 with no exaggeration. #LoveAndPeace #AndWeirdAl #RosesForAl
Do all of Weird Al! Lol but you have to watch the original version first, whatever it is or you won't get it. He does have some original stuff as well, though it's not as popular. Since Christmas is coming up, you could do "Christmas at Ground Zero"! Lol
Because I knew what was coming, I just about died when you paused the video to put in your "violence" disclaimer and then saw...a spoon...BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! There was also a fork, hehehehehehe! There was only one time where I couldn't leave the table until I ate my lima beans. Can't stand them so I was quite happy to sit at the table until I actually fell asleep from the inactivity. I didn't get a whoopin' but didn't get to watch tv or play and was told to go straight to bed. Not eating lima beans vs. earlier bedtime??? Got more sleep and never saw lima beans put on my plate again...I win!!
Coolio had a short beef with Weird Al. Then he realized that Michael Jackson and James Brown liked Weird Al's parodies and they taught him their dance moves. So Coolio was like, "Am I cooler than Michael Jackson and James Brown?"
Back in the day, if Weird AL did a parody of your song, it meant it was a hit...lol. Mr. Eddie Van Halen did the guitar solo. He was the sugar honey iced tea 😉
I got really good at slipping food into my napkin and throwing it out. Once, I accidentally tossed my chewing gum into my brother's glass of milk. Saw it stuck to the bottom of the glass. He commented that his milk had an interesting minty taste 😂
Actually, Michael Jackson taught him the moves and gave permission and access to the sets for these videos. Michael, when approached by Al, and after listening to what he wanted to do, completely granted him to do it.
Yo... back in the day my friend and I showed up at the bus stop first day of school. We pointed at each other at the same time and said... "Oh shit You got ... the Beat it/Thriller "Jacket!!!!" He had the black thriller jacket with the red accent. I had the all red beat it jacket but like you said it was the rip off one. You could always tell the rip off one because the shoulders had these sort of circle button things and the official one had the black and white mesh. (and his thriller jacket was the inverse colors. Mostly black instead of mostly red) But we felt cool as shit those things for a good month until you know... it becomes uncool by all of the jelly kids at school.
American parents: "Don't you know there's children starving in (insert random Country name here)?" Me thinking "And just what difference does it make in their life, whether I do or don't eat everything on my plate?"
I love that you’re going down the weird Al rabbit hole. There are so many songs to choose from for him.
Great reaction! Most people who have reacted to this fail to notice that his music video is also a parody of the original. In fact, he copied it so close that Michael trained him on some of his dance moves and also let him use most of the dancers from his original video.
That is CLASS.
Al is a genius. I recommend finding a list of the songs he has parodied and watching the videos of songs you know and/or like.
He's been at it for almost 40 years with a lot more hits than misses.
There's an interview on RUclips of Eddie Van Halen talking about the guitar solo session.

I remember my best friend telling me there was a new Star Wars song about Yoda.
I was hooked at a swamp down in Dagoba.
Definitely need to check that one out.
Yes please do Amish Paradise lmao
Yes the original solo was performed by Eddie Van Halen. For the Parody, the solo was performed by the Album's producer, Rick Derringer. But here is the unquie thing, the guy that plays the guitar when it explodes is not Rick Derringer but band member Jim West. Jim West is a very talented guitarist and has won numerous awards for slack key guitar playing.
Al is just fun, more recently he did "I'm Tacky" the video is great. Also "Word Crimes" is lyrically miraculous. Aluminum Foil is just hilarious 😎
Eddie Van Halen did the original song guitar solo
RIP 🎸 EVH
This was Rick Derringer.
This was Rick Derringer.
I heard Jackson lent him the jacket. Not sure how true that is but he did support music that sounds great so that would make sense. He loved Alien Ant Farm’s take on Smooth Criminal.
Lmfao 🤣 😂 🤣!!!!!!...... weird al is really too friggin funny!!..... you've got to see his "Amish paradise "( Coolio- gangsta paradise).... it's going to have you rolling 🤣😂🤣💕

Van , my sister and I had a Beat It Jacket!!! We were so cool! Lol!
We lived in a town of 1200 people, and boy did we get strange looks!! “Those Olmstead girls”!Haha
You have to do reactions for "Amish Paradise" and "White and Nerdy"
On Michael Jackson's 'Beat it', the guitar solo was played by Eddie Van Halen, the late, legendary guitarist of Van Halen. He did the solo for free back in 1982... he played it w/ MJ at a Superbowl show.
Weird Al's guitarist is Jim West... he's in the video and he's still in Weird Al's band today😂
Rick Derringer did the solo on Eat it.
Living With A Hernia by Weird Al...if you can! Thanks for your reaction!
For some reason people don't recognize how insanely dope the guitar solo is.
This is a perfect follow up to “Fat”. He is so clever. I love his videos. Love to see your laughing face in the morning. 🌺✌️
Lol! "Weapons will be uh..." and I was like BRANDISHED! And you were like "...brandished". You have to respect great word choice 😂
I too wanted Michael's jacket as a kid....but now a days I want the white smiley face" have a nice day jacket".
1. Living with a hernia ( James Brown - Living in America)
2 Trapped in the Drive thru ( R Kelly - Trapped in the closet)
At the end, Al and the gang did a brief homage to the Thriller dance, and the yellow-slitted eyes Weird Al had after putting the Alka Seltzer in the water was also a Thriller reference.
Even the choreography is the same! And then he did the “ Thriller” eyes at the end!
I love Weird Al's attention to detail in the videos as well as the songs themselves. He is paying homage to the original artist and no one does it better.
The excellent guitar solo in this was performed by Rick Derringer
I believe the guy in the white coat in the original was also the choreographer. Great moves
Weird Al has been the king of parodies for decades. Just like this video is hilarious because you know the original song, they’re all much better if you’ve heard/seen the originals. My parents were the same as yours. I had to finish my food. They actually used to say “people in China were starving”.

Although you took the punishments as a youth, I think it worked out for you in the long run brother.
Not only is Al genius...he's incredibly talented. The fantastic guitar solo is Rick Derringer ("Rock & Roll, Hootchie Koo")
You should do this side by side to Beat It. Al did an amazing job!!!! My mom made me sit there until my liver & onions were gone or my bedtime came. She used to tell me kids were staving in China & I said "send them my dinner!"
Weird Al is a national treasure and must be protected at all costs 🤣😂🤣😂🤣👏👏👏👏
Thank God someone gets the "other kids are starving in Japan" line. Maybe it bc we're both Gen X but it seems like nobody 35 and under even knows where that comes from.

Weird Al has so many great songs. I'll suggest "Like a Surgeon" and "Living With a Hernia"
Someone uploaded a side-by-side video comparison with the original, and it's pretty neat to see how accurate the shots are, as well as spotting the differences within the shots.
He's awesome if he rewrites it all by himself that's genius
Kind of watching for this now. Love it. What a great laugh!
The side by side video of eat it and beat it is great. Al really did it almost shot for shot.
Weird Al is SOO good at what he does cuz he replicates the environment and feeling of the original material so it makes it even funnier the greatest music spoof master ever
This song introduced me to Weird Al back in the 80s. I love Weird Al...
A fellow by the name of Edward Van Halen did the solo on the original. He did it for free.
Weird Al and Michael Jackson were friends and Michael gave his approval for the parody songs and videos. Most of the dancers in this video are also in the MJ video. You have now entered the Weird Al rabbit hole. There are so many more songs and videos to check out. I don't know if you did Amish Paradise yet but that should be next..
I can't recommend enough watching the original before you watch Al's parodies - it just showcases his brilliance! Please do Amish Paradise and It's All About The Pentiums they are so much fun!
To me this is Weird Al's best. Every move is perfect.
“I Love Rocky Road” is another good one!
In the original "Beat It" guitar solo was Eddie Van Halen.
You need to do these "after bedtime" reactions occasionally. Love the energy in most of your videos, but seeing you in a more relaxed, chill state is refreshing brother! Hit that thannnggg
Bruh! You need to hear "Tacky" by Weird AL. Lots of big names in that one. And it is hilarious
Surprisingly enough Michael Jackson was on set for every bit of this video as well as for the "fat" video. Great reaction Van. You should check out "weird" Al Yankovic's parody, of Coolio's "gangsta's Paradise", called "Amish Paradise".

I used to love when these videos would drop from Weird AL. his Madonna cover was hilarious also "Like A Surgeon."
There is a video someplace that shows Beat It and Eat It side by side. Amazing!
If you put Beat it and Eat It music videos side by side.. you will see it's basically the exact same video! lol.
I love having a laugh with you Van, and enjoying good music. Good times with the LRF Fam.
If you're going to get into weird al you should do a double feature and react to the original song with his version.
Check out the side by side of eat and beat it. Al got those moves down thanks to MJ
He did this with MJ’s blessing & set up this set & the actors to match his 1983 Beat It video. I even read MJ was there on set. Same for “Fat”. Al does this frame for frame the same.
You have to do, TRAPPED IN A DRIVE THROUGH 😅🤣😅🤣
One Eddie Van Halen did the solo on the original MJ track. May have heard of 'im.
Eddie Van Halen did the guitar work for Beat It for Michael.
The guitar solo in the Beat It video was the one and only Eddy Van Halen
Bro, you gotta check out "Hardware Store". One of his originals but also one of his best in terms of showing off his talents.
Weird Al got permission from each artist that he has made a parody of their song. That's respect.
My Mum was the same. Couldn't leave the table until we ate everything.
The GOAT, Eddie Van Halen did the solo on this and Thriller
Also his mimic of Madonna- like a Virginia, is comical. Like a surgeon 🤣😅
Virgin 🙄🙄....auto correct.... always be trying to change up words 🙄
Weird Al - I Lost On Jeopardy :)
Michael Jackson loaned Weird Al the jacket, taught him some moves, and got the original set and dancers from Beat It.
That main gansta with the mustache, he was in the original MJ music video too.
The guy dressed in white in the original video was the choreographer, if I remember correctly
He was pretty well known before Eat It, but this is the song that shot him to superstardom. Michael Jackson himself was a huge fan. Weird Al not only used the same sets and Costumes from Beat It, he hired the same actors and dancers.
You must watch Weird Al do "Living with a hernia", a parody of James Brown's "Living in America". Hilarious!
Eddie Van Halen killed it on that guitar solo.
Eddie Van Halen did the solo on "Beat It", Rick Derringer did the solo on "Eat It".
They had a spoon and fork instead of knives.
The end with the freeze frame is a parody of Thriller.
Not the first to say it, nor the first time I've said it, but the man is a genius. Even from the very beginning it was clear this man was in a league of his own. Not every song he does is about food but there are enough to make an entire album of just those tracks (which he did, it's called [The Food Album]).

Do all of Weird Al! Lol but you have to watch the original version first, whatever it is or you won't get it. He does have some original stuff as well, though it's not as popular. Since Christmas is coming up, you could do "Christmas at Ground Zero"! Lol
For Christmas you can do the "The Night Santa Went Crazy."
Because I knew what was coming, I just about died when you paused the video to put in your "violence" disclaimer and then saw...a spoon...BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! There was also a fork, hehehehehehe! There was only one time where I couldn't leave the table until I ate my lima beans. Can't stand them so I was quite happy to sit at the table until I actually fell asleep from the inactivity. I didn't get a whoopin' but didn't get to watch tv or play and was told to go straight to bed. Not eating lima beans vs. earlier bedtime??? Got more sleep and never saw lima beans put on my plate again...I win!!
Coolio had a short beef with Weird Al.
Then he realized that Michael Jackson and James Brown liked Weird Al's parodies and they taught him their dance moves.
So Coolio was like, "Am I cooler than Michael Jackson and James Brown?"
The last scene was an nod to "Thriller" by MJ.
"Living With A hernia" !!!! If you think he was good at copying Michael's dance moves you have to see him do James Brown, he absolutely nails it.
True
Back in the day, if Weird AL did a parody of your song, it meant it was a hit...lol. Mr. Eddie Van Halen did the guitar solo. He was the sugar honey iced tea 😉
RIP 🎸 EVH
I'm not gonna lie back in the 80s I also wanted one of those jackets as well. Never found a real one.
Eddy Van Halen did the Guitar solo
I got really good at slipping food into my napkin and throwing it out. Once, I accidentally tossed my chewing gum into my brother's glass of milk. Saw it stuck to the bottom of the glass. He commented that his milk had an interesting minty taste 😂
I love that you’re doing Weird Al songs, but I would like to suggest you also react to some Ray Stevens songs. (Example- Mississippi squirrel revival)
Me and you both . I had the red and the black beat it and thriller jacket. All 4 got stolen
Eddie Van Halen did the solo in Beat It
Actually, Michael Jackson taught him the moves and gave permission and access to the sets for these videos. Michael, when approached by Al, and after listening to what he wanted to do, completely granted him to do it.
Guitar solo was done by Eddie van halen
Weird Al = GENIUS
always watch the original video, then Weird Al
You gotta check out his sing LIVING WITH A HERNIA. Very funny song and music video.
On MJ’s song, Eddie Van Halen did the guitar solo! Maybe he repeated it for Al.
Love the reaction and Weird Al but I just had to shake my head when you had to pause it and tell people they may see “some violence”
Love Weird Al, Home Free and In Living Color.
Yo... back in the day my friend and I showed up at the bus stop first day of school. We pointed at each other at the same time and said... "Oh shit You got ... the Beat it/Thriller "Jacket!!!!"
He had the black thriller jacket with the red accent. I had the all red beat it jacket but like you said it was the rip off one. You could always tell the rip off one because the shoulders had these sort of circle button things and the official one had the black and white mesh. (and his thriller jacket was the inverse colors. Mostly black instead of mostly red) But we felt cool as shit those things for a good month until you know... it becomes uncool by all of the jelly kids at school.
American parents: "Don't you know there's children starving in (insert random Country name here)?"
Me thinking "And just what difference does it make in their life, whether I do or don't eat everything on my plate?"
