This comment is remarkably profound...

I love how he says "mashed potatoes can be your friends," as if he's going to build upon the joke, embellish and clarify, or at least rhyme, and then just... doesn't.
You mean it's not normal mashed potatoes to be your friend?
It's a rhyme scheme with "burn your candles at both ends" but, like the previous verse the line is cut short.
It's a reference to Devo's obsession with potatoes
Maybe he would be able to elaborate if the asshole with the lid didn't close it on his head smh
my aunt used to make mashed potatoes creatures during dinner when she was a kid, so i always thought it was about that
the fact this made it into the first transformers movie amazes me
Transformers usually put some wacky ass songs on their soundtracks. Dark of the moon ost has a my chemical romance song on it like wtf💀
@@yungmegvtron I mean this was in the 1986 movie, not the bay one. Very different animal.
@@wolfmatic399 I mean... I guess it still applies whicher version you talk about
And because of that, when they brought the character this song was used for, they had him voiced weird al and even gave him the line "I am Wreck-Gar! I DARE to be stupid!!"
@@14possumsinatrenchcoat Wreck Gar was voiced by Eric Idle in the movie. He's from Monty Python fame. It worked perfectly.
“Put down that chainsaw and listen to me” is one of the all time great opening lines.
Indeed, it shows you are in for a treat
When I first saw the Weird Al bio 20 years ago on a nostalgia website I had no idea what the quote meant.
"You can have sushi and forget to tip."
Even though it's customary in a Japanese Sushi restaurant to NEVER TIP.
And yet, the very next line is "It's time for us to join in the fight"
Their indescribable & there everywhere
"I can't hear you!"
"OK, I can hear you now!" is forever one of my favorite gags.
Yeah ikr!
He'll do this during concerts. So yeah, you better be prepared to yell. 😂
I particularly like the way Michael Richards delivers a version of this joke in UHF.
#metoo
"settle down with your family, join the PTA, buy some sensible shoes and a Chevrolet. Then party until you're broke and they drag you away. " I love that sequence of events.
I like that the military officers had cones on their heads xD
I like that the sign language is literally saying what the lyrics are at that part of the song.
It's very much within the spirit of DEVO!
The only time I heard his name on any news was "what happened today in history" kinda segment. "Today was the day Weird Al took his first ever accordion lesson."
Yup, 100% scandal free celeb can exist.
It's OK!
I mean, yeah, it's funny with clever lyrics and all, but like....musically, this is unironically an outstanding song.
For real its just as good as a real DEVO song. In an alternate universe Al could've definitely been in the band
@@Francoberry Al could have been in pretty much ANY band, it turns out
ALL of his style parodies are brilliant, musically. They sound just like a song the original band might have made, but are written entirely by Al and his own band.
for me THE that enthrowls me to start building more digital railroad instead of not being sure about it , idk why, but probly the upbeat beat and also 0:52 riffs, but more of a hunch tbh
Dare to be Stupid is Al’s best style parody
Only the 80s could produce this song, and only the 80s would put it in a battle scene.
Dang I loved that movie. This song fit so well.
@@donkeymanusa6364 oh for sure, really set the atmosphere too
Odd that only the 80s could produce a GOOD Transformers movie too.

@@norbertoniebres1615
I'm on for that! The movies sentimental value has only increased
"The best Devo song that Devo never did" - Mark Mothersbaugh. Weird Al calls this a 'style parody' (as opposed to a direct parody of an individual song). It remains true to this day, almost 40 years later (and I love Devo).
From what I’ve heard, Devo LOVED this song.
It's more like a playful "I love and hate you for writing a better song than me"
Mark Mothersbaugh, I think, did the theme to Liquid Television. The show is a bizarre animation showcase from the early 90s, and the theme is cool.
I legit scrolled down to see if it was a devo parody XD
@@simondaniel4028 its a little hard to copy something 5 years ahead of your time
This song lives Rent Free in my Mind for two reasons
1. It’s good and silly
2. Any Transformers Fans knows the Second Reason
Bah weep granah weep nini bong!
Till all are one 🤜🏼❄️🤛🏼
Also with the way Americans are lately and politics
The third reason is because I'm purposely getting on my mom's nerves.
Having recently come off from watching Hbomberguy talk about the second reason, I'm now thinking about it perhaps a bit more than I should
My man has had a 30-year career with no controversies, no accusations of any kind, and no creepy behavior. Be like him.
40 year career, my friend.
It is something that the man who willingly goes by the name “Weird Al” has had a career with absolutely no accusations of any impropriety.
And doesn't really have a gen z audience
@@coopermuccio4409I'm Gen z
@@coopermuccio4409do you realize how many kids have grown up with this man’s music
Devo was already the most 80's thing ever and Al somehow one-upped them.
and Mark Mothersbaugh was apparently both impressed and pissed off because Weird Al straight up out-Devo'd Devo
@@telegramsam because wierd al managed to do in one song what devo took years to achieve
@@telegramsam To be fair, Al distilled everything he saw Devo already did into a super-concentrated Devo pastiche.
It's the ultimate Reader's Digest Devo extravaganza. "Weird Al" couldn't have done it if Devo hadn't pioneered it.
Mad respect both to Al for capturing it in such fidelity, and to Devo for blazing the trail.
well, except for the neon-blue, intentionally sleeveless "Stupid Tour" shirt I own- THAT is the 80s in a nutshell
@@telegramsam ruclips.net/video/A4Y6zimxi-Q/видео.html
This song is an allegory for Al's entire career. He dared to be stupid, and he won.
It is an anti consumerism song I think.
@@michaeltell9905 How do you come to that conclusion?
@@rockandroller7118 Well, it's a pastiche of Devo, whose work tended to be very anti-consumerist, so it just kind of makes sense.
Outside music, Weird Al Yankovic is a very intelligent man.
@@HalifaxHercules You can't be brilliant if you're afraid to be stupid. Playing it safe and never doing anything you're not 100% certain about is a recipe for mediocrity.
“I was in shock, it was the most beautiful thing I ever heard……and I hate him for it basically.”
-Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo on this song
So he was divided?
@@TheInkPitOx no, he was mad he’d never be able to do it first now xD
Exact words were
"I was in shock. It was the most beautiful thing I ever heard. He sorta took that song, and resculpted it into something else, um...and...I hate him basically."
- Mark Mothersbaurgh, main composer of DEVO.
I don’t know if this is an apocryphal quote…but it’s funny.
@@stillhere1425 it’s not an apocryphal quote. There’s an actual video of him saying it on the Behind the Music documentary of Weird Al.
I’ve said this for years. Weird Al needs to be the performer for the Super Bowl halftime.
But does the Super Bowl deserve Weird Al?
Yes very true Al should be on the super bowl
A Weird Al masterpiece.
Isn't this song a style-parody of Devo?
Absolutely, and the Devo guys LOVED it!
Al out-Devo'd Devo.
+dirty_fingers yeah it's true imo..so so good.. I love Devo and Al..hehe!
metal jesus, what are you doing here
The guys from Devo said when they saw this song they were blown away. They were like, "He captured the essence of everything we were doing... and did it better."
I know what you meant Vevo
yep
yep
@@ianlongshore
Not Vevo, Devo, the music group that started this style of music, they're the band that is famous for wearing a red cone hat. This is a parody of Devo, well not a parody parody but a tribute to Devo, look it up. I suggest Whip it as one of their good songs to look into
@@DarkHumorWritesItself
Ha. I enjoyed reading that.
Still can’t believe it’s been over 35 years since we lost Weird Al. Gone way too soon. RIP
Lost?! He's always with us!
Please tell me you watched the after credits scene lol.
He’s not gone. Zombie Al is in South America hunting down Madonna as we speak.
Poor man, if only he didn’t get involved with the cartel…
When will Madonna answer for her crimes
I’m shocked TikTok hasn’t found this song yet. I guess it’s too good for them
Step One: Listen to Weird Al song you like
Step Two: Discover said song is a style Parody
Step Three: Start listening to the band whose style was parodied.
Step Four: Realize yet again that Weird Al is damn good at what he does.
That's exactly what I did
In several cases, I've liked the Al version and disliked the originals. This song is one of them.
what is the the original and who sang it please
@@sanboparan7633 I think he isn't parodying a specific song, but the style of the Band Devo (great band imho).
Starless this song sounds like dr heckyll and Mr jive
“You better squeeze all the charmin you can”. Shit looks like we’re one step closer to fulfilling the prophecy

This song perfectly captures what goes on in Weird Al's head, also, I'm pretty sure others including mine.

@@nickbensema3045 yes!
No, he captured the very essence of Devo. In fact, he out-Devoed Devo!
Look up 'Sparks' unsung creators & much of the source of new styles for 40 years........ Vanilla Ice interview might ellude to cabal control of music, like The Tavistock Institute, 432hz edit back in the 1930's.
kind regards Legends
I think he was capturing what's in DEVO's heads.
Everyone talking about how the good the song is, but the video perfectly captures the aesthetic and themes in every devo video, weird Al and his team did their research
This was a great tribute to Devo who are the spirit of the 80s.
now the cowboy outfit makes sense :O
Considering this song is a Weird Al original, resembling I believe "That's Good", the video touched on many elements of all of Devo's videos to that point, even Spaz attack. From the title, the lyrics and video, no one else could do a Devo tribute better.
Weird Al ALWAYS does research, he is one of the smartest guys, ever, after all.
For sure! Weird Al's guys who make his videos are very very good at it.
Watching Weird Al and his band perform this song live in 2019 was one of the high points of my life. Yes, he changed into the DEVO suit just for the occasion.
I would have LOVED to be there, dancing in my seat like a goon, TOTALLY loving it!
I saw him during that same tour! The 2019 No Strings Attached tour I think. I was losing my mind over this song...actually I was losing my mind just being there period.
I saw him! He had a lot of costume changes in that show.
I saw it in 2015 after I graduated. Best graduation present ever. Definitely going again when he comes back to town next August.
Ah man, I was there when he played I Baltimore. Favorite concert I ever attended.
I don't know why but that "Yes!" at 2:20 is probably my favorite part
Explosions by DEVO.
it's full of 70s sci-fi lol
I hear it and am reminded of Dynamite Headdy. Similar voice
“It’s not hard to knock ‘em down. It’s gettin em to stay down that’s the trick.”
The funniest part about this is that Weird Al is basically a genius. Graduated high school at 16, has a high ranking college degree and everything.
Then again, great minds think alike
It would take a genius of the highest calibre to master essentially every genre of popular music. And then to be one of the greatest living comedians on top of that....
he uses his powers for good
Always successful then
He dared to be stupid. Acting with ignorance led to education and through education came knowledge.
Weird Al: Dare to be stupid.

Weird Al is the voice of Milo, so that’s not surprising!
@@rassilontdavros3004 True though!
Fell in love with this song back in 1986 when I seen it in the Planet of Junk in the Amazing Transformers movie. I was 6 years old then and every time I hear this song it takes me back to my youth.
My own time machine.
Thank you Al for all the wonderful songs!
Happy 2023!
I searched like 30 -40 comments looking for a TF, the movie reference. I'm disappointed it took that long! But yes every song that was in the movie brings me back! I was 10

It wasn't a parody, but the ultimate tribute.
Somebody who gets it.
More Devo than Devo!
Amen, the de evolution of society ideas etc etc etc
+BlackMasterRoshi Actually, I believe Weird Al called this type of song a style parody.
@@animefan25 Pastiche, not parody.
Weird Al really nailed the Devo aesthetic. He must've been a fan. I mean, he even nailed Mothersbaugh's vocal style. It's mind blowing.
He even nailed the Zappa aesthetic later on (though with Dweezil Zappa's contributions), in 'Genius in France'.
Quite a few of his parodies give off a vibe that he was a big fan of or at least really studied the artist he parodies. He’s not a lazy ass parody artist who just writes a song that parodies some random artist. He’s a man who puts a ton of work into his songs. He does his damndest to recreate the style of the artist as best as he can but when it comes to the music videos is where he goes all out. He must watch the original video he’s parodying a ton to nail it as well as he does. It’s evident in pretty much every single video he’s released.
He nails every artists style how does he do it
In Al's VH1 Behind the Music special, Mark Mothersbaugh commented that (and I'm paraphrasing here) Al captured the Devo sound better than any single Devo song ever did, and that he hates him for it.
This is my personal favorite non-parody Weird Al song.
I’m the 100th like on this comment
I think my favorite little detail is that the guy sleeping in the intro is still wearing his glasses.
It's not hard to knock 'em down, it's gettin' 'em to stay down that's the trick
They're indestructable. AND THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!
This isn't a parody of a song or Devo...this IS Devo...the lyrics are perfect. Al always brings his A game...
It's pretty hard to parody Devo, who exist in a state of perpetual self-parody. This is just a good song.
He outdid Devo in their own style. A little different than a parody.
I think the concept is being missed here...the song is DEVO...you know...the example of De-evolution...the whole theory that Devo started out with (and regained near the end). The lyrics are perfect and when you look at the world today...well...just look around...we live in the future that Devo predicted...best SF band around...I miss those guys...R.I.P. boys...
Mark Mothersbaugh agreed. He said Al did Devo better than Devo did. "Of course, I hate him for it . . . "

This is so 80's I'm going to explode in bright pink neon.
God, the amount of time taken to edit this together for being in the 80's must've been unfathomable.

You should see the UHF music video, he recreated like 12 other MTV music videos, and edited them together into his own music video, intercut with scenes from the film he made. Some of those recreated video cuts were only shown for like 2 seconds but he still went to the trouble to get all the costumes and sets and everything to look just like in the original video. ruclips.net/video/NUi926ses94/видео.html
“Okay. Today, for 10 hours we are going to construct a 2 second segment of mini-Devo upside down chin heads. Tomorrow for 12 hours we’ll create a 1.5 second segment showing an army of Mr. Potatoheads.”
I was wondering the same thing, but also can't help but think back to some 80's/early 90's video game backgrounds, like Toe Jam & Earl. You just can't beat the handcrafted art.
So sickening it barely got any airplay at all.
This is by far my favorite Weird Al video. The costumes, the crazy imagery, the bizarre 1950's-era stock footage, and just how 80s and VHS-quality everything looks makes it perfect.
Well the last one is not really strange since this was made in 1985.
(devo)
the devo parody is perfect
Yes, Grace Kelly is one of the last people I would expect to see in a Weird Al video :)
The costumes and everything are a riff off Devo videos, it's not just the sound and lyrical theme. .
The bit with the cowboys are a nod to 'Whip It'. The Romans playing chess is a nod to 'Freedom Of Choice'.
The footage from the '50 is also stuff Devo did for videos.
Jim's playing a guitar made out of a toaster.
Devo and Weird Al should've collaborated with each other for real. They fit like a glove together.
"I can't hear you. Okay, I can hear you now." I have always loved that.
If Im ever infront of a croud Im going to say that now
The weird part is that they don’t say it any louder
That also happen in UHF, With Stanley saying that.

We now have far more people daring to be stupid than daring to be intelligent.
I did this song in karaoke once and it left everyone speechless.
Weird al is proof that a guy can get rich and famous without turning into a creep
True, but how much less money would he be able to make if not for the existence of those creeps pushing the global economy forward? Music is a luxury product, and parody music doubly so; only our extremely prosperous society enables someone like WAY to have a career.
@@quicksilvertongue3248 weird comment
What do you mean by "creep" ?
I'm not sure what Marley had in mind with that term; in my response, I attempted to replicate his meaning based on my partial understanding of it. I think you could loosely say that a "creep" is the opposite of a "cool guy", whatever exactly that is, and that Al has gotten successful yet remained a "cool guy".

To all you younger folks out there: Yes, the 80's were pretty much exactly like this.
KingAdrock420 They didn't have much to do back then.... Except fear the commies.
KingAdrock420 It aint much different today other than instead of watching "Leave It To Beaver" all day day long, they're watching even worse shit, The Kardashians and Honey booboo. So we have not started progressing yet, we're still retrogressing.
EarthianLifeForm Wouldn't it more like watching an 80's or 90's stupid sitcom. Perhaps friends?
What about some born in 1990s
KingAdrock420 well, devo was pretty much like this....
"They're indestructible!"
"And they're everywhere!"
"They check in. But they don't check out."

2:34 mashed potatoes can be your friend
0:48 "Stick your head in the microwave and get yourself a tan." I just love that line.
The riff just after is fire
This is like a love letter to DEVO, rather than a parody. This is incredible! The aesthetic is to a T, the editing of the video, the cinematography, not to mention the earworm of a tune!
I feel like it deserves the word “pastiche”.
An _hommage,_ maybe?
@@cmyk8964 He's good at that, "Genius in France" is a pastiche of Frank Zappa who he clearly admired
Mark Mothersbaugh actually loved the song. The y out Devo'd Devo.
All rise for RUclips's national anthem.
I'm actually impressed. Heard this song on the local university station while driving and had no idea it was weird al until searching RUclips when I glanced at the note I recorded about it. Growing up in the 90s with no real access to music like what is available now, this is not the weird al I came to know. This certainly isnt "amish paradise" or "it's all about the pentiums." In fact, it seems kind of antitheitical to whatever album that was that we grew up with on the 90s pop stations. What a trip.
“Put down the chainsaw and listen to me!” - something that Bruce Campbell has definitely heard.
The only Weird Al song that I want to hear covered by another band. Devo need to record their version of this masterpiece.
Good news:

@@CherryCokeNixon Nice gimmick.
Check out the cover by The Cybertronic Spree. They nailed it and watch for a surprise cameo at the end.

This honestly feels more like social commentary rather than a straight up parody
Less than half of the songs on AL's 14 studio albums are parodies. AL is an incredible songwriter!
He often studies an artists entire body of work and then writes an original song in their style.
This is an original song by AL in the musical style of Devo.

planet of junk.
Gerrony rony moo!
It thinks it's pretty funny how the musician cowboy at 2:40 is playing with an attitude like, "I know I'm the most badass piece of this song and I'm gonna rock it."
As a hard core Transformers fan who grew up with the 1986 movie, this is the very first Weird Al song I've ever heard. Man, I love Weird Al.
'My Balogna' is my first heard Weird Al song! Still dig him! Also big Transformers fan. Saw the animated version new in the theater in '86. Yeah, alright, so I sniffled a little when Optimus died! I had a piece of popcorn in my eye! "Till all are one!" T_T (damn popcorn! not again!)
Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong

I remember watching the Transformers movie in the theater. When Weird Al came on, I just about lost my little 7th grade mind!
same this was how I found Weird Al
Grew up on 'The Transformers' . Always fond memories of the planet Junk.
Very possibly the greatest song ever
Edit: confirmed 👌
It takes a ton of balls to parody a band that was a parody in the first place
you mean devo
Lead singer to DEVO said that he 'hated' this song because Weird Al out-DEVO'd DEVO.
and even more talent to pull it off
He did the same with "MMM MMM MMM MMM". "Headline News" basically out-parodied the parody.
EXACTLY! Weird Al is so meta.

LYRICS:
Put down that chainsaw and listen to me
It's time for us to join in the fight
It's time to let your babies grow up to be cowboys
It's time to let the bedbugs bite
You better put all your eggs in one basket
You better count your chickens before they hatch
You better sell some wine before it's time
You better find yourself an itch to scratch
You better squeeze all the Charmin you can
While Mr. Wipple's not around
Stick your head in the microwave and get yourself a tan
Talk with your mouth full
Bite the hand that feeds you
Bite off more than you chew
What can you do?
Dare to be stupid
Take some wooden nickels
Look for Mr. Goodbar
Get your mojo working now
I'll show you how
You can dare to be stupid
You can turn the other cheek
You can just give up the ship
You can eat a bunch of sushi then forget to leave a tip
Dare to be stupid
Come on and dare to be stupid
It's so easy to do
Dare to be stupid
We're all waiting for you
Let's go
It's time to make a mountain out of a molehill
So can I have a volunteer?
There's no more time for crying over spilled milk
Now it's time for crying in your beer
Settle down, raise a family, join the PTA
Buy some sensible shoes and a Chevrolet
And party 'til you're broke and they drive you away
It's okay, you can dare to be stupid
It's like spitting on a fish
It's like barking up a tree
It's like I said you gotta buy one if you wanna get one free
Dare to be stupid
(Yes)
Why don't you dare to be stupid?
It's so easy to do
Dare to be stupid
We're all waiting for you
Dare to be stupid
Burn your candle at both ends
Look a gift horse in the mouth
Mashed potatoes can be your friends
You can be a coffee achiever
You can sit around the house and watch "Leave It To Beaver"
The future's up to you
So what you gonna do?
Dare to be stupid, dare to be stupid
What did I say?
Dare to be stupid
Tell me, what did I say?
Dare to be stupid
It's alright
Dare to be stupid
We can be stupid all night
Dare to be stupid
Come on, join the crowd
Dare to be stupid
Shout it out loud
Dare to be stupid
I can't hear you
Dare to be stupid
Okay, I can hear you now
Dare to be stupid
Let's go, dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
This how I imagine living in the 1980's was like 1:37
*I suddenly see robots having a dance off in the distance*
Transformers dance off music
Dammit you ingrained that image in my head. Hundreds of battle droids and C3PO at the center
Robots in Disguise?
bah weep grah nah weep nini bong?
Because of that, when Eric Idle wasn't available to voice Wreck-Gar in Transformers Animated, they got Weird Al instead.
"All dreams have meaning"
My dreams:
I think this song has some of the best philosophical implications of our time
It's amazing to see how many years someone can be a relevant musician without getting spoiled or arrogant by just making the music he likes
It's like he's a good person or some shit like that lol
@@EmeraldLavigne And it's like he's smart and very much so talented, lol
😎👍
Mashed potatoes are the only friends I have.
I ate them, cause I was hungry. Oops...
Sleeping Groke It's okay. I can always make more.
Cool :)

Same. :(
The 80's In A Nutshell
Dare To Be Stupid has been my motto for a long time.
"Destroy Unicron! Kill the Grand Poobah! Eliminate even the toughest stains!"
Operators are standing by!
You check in, but you don't check out!
And the answer is... Unicron!
"Pesky visitors getting mud in the eye, by and by. Film at 11!"
Yes
Stop mentioning ponies on videos that have nothing to do with them.
Mreverything11 I'm pretty sure their talking about the 1986 trnsformers movie since this song was used in the movie and the main villian was called Unicron *loads of people mistake his name for unicorn*
All rise for the national anthem of human beings.
Yup! Definitely, and let's consider it as a meme too!!!
Yup
Ralsei you got that 100% right
Take me to your... never mind
Or for Florida
So many Devo references in this video.
Really well done.
"Talk with your mouth full!!!!!!" - Alfred Matthew Yankovic (LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
My best friend was a potato, but he was always getting baked.
"I am Wreck-Garr, and I DARE to be stupid!!"
Honestly this is my favorite Weird Al video
[0:52]
Tied with UHF IMO
This was one of my favorite songs in the first transformers movie
The song that links Generation 1 with Transformers animated
You also had the G1 footage in episode 1(the thing of the war that had ended before the series started had footage from the episode War Dawn in Season 2)
