Time to dive into his discography! Michael Jackson loved Al's work so much he provided anything he wanted to recreate the videos. From the sets, props, choreography, whatever he could. He does have his own original tracks, but got famous doing parodies. Artists would say that when he does a parody of your song, you've "made it".
^^ This!
He has like 1 or 2 i thought was his original ideas
@@bronysaiyan5236 he's been making music for decades. The only tracks that get popular are his parodies.
@@Berto2K ik hes been dojng it since like the 70s im a huge weird al fan but i dont delve into musicians personal lives lmao
@@bronysaiyan5236 if you were a huge weird al fan, you would know he makes more than just parodies.
"And my shadow weighs 42 pounds" There are SO many delightful lines in this song, it's crazy.
Yes! Please listen to Amish Paradise next! You won’t regret it. And afterwards, I recommend you looking up how the video was done as well. Weird Al is insanely talented.
Edit: Oh! I recommend looking into a lot of his songs. Especially this one. If I recall correctly, this song almost didn’t happen but MJ was like “Hell yeah, go ahead.” It’s crazy.
Amish paradise my fave... its spot on.
Alright you get my like
It was the music video that "almost didn't happen" because the production company was just about to tear down the set location. They had only a day maybe (can't remember exact) to film everything before it got torn down.
Weird Al is the GOAT - he has lasted longer then the people he parodies :) Looking forward to see him live in concert again in 19 days time!!! You'll like the "Smells like Nirvana" , "Word Crimes", "If that isn't love", "Do I creep you out" & "The night santa went crazy" are just a couple .... believe me he has soo many great songs (both original and parodies) to keep you entertained for days
Fun fact, Jackson was a massive fan or Weird Al. He lent Al the setup and choreographer. In Al's "Eat IT" (based on Beat It) Al is wearing Jacksons actual jacket.
Yes Weird Al does his own music, hes also famous for his accordion music.
And his t shirt with the music notes. That was Michael's also
He was a huge fan of little boys in his bed also...
The thing with Weird Al is, it's not just that his parody lyrics are masterful in sounding like the originals, but that his videos are often shot-for-shot remakes/parodies of the original artist's videos. Find a side-by-side of this one with the original video; it's AMAZING.
I went to a Weird Al concert the first time he came to Ireland. It was incredible. He was 60 years old at the time but he was jumping around the stage for almost 3 hours, doing kicks over his head, and changing costumes so many times, I lost count. I've been a fan of Weird Al since I was a child, and I always will be. If he ever comes back, I'm there.
Weird Al" Yankovic is definitely the GOAT of parodies, and you know you made it as an artist, when he does one!!! From what I have read, Michael Jackson was a fan of Weird Al, and actually helped in parts of the production & choreography, and let him film at the same spot that Bad was filmed!!! My fav's are this one, White & Nerdy, Amish Paradise, Eat it, and Smells like Nirvana 😊
This guy was the first reactor I've seen to actually catch the Richter scale joke.
His biggest hits were parodies, but he does have some original songs.
His first is My Bologna, based on My Sharona. My favorites are Yoda (Lola), and The Saga Begins (American Pie). You really can't miss with any of them. Keep on keepin' on, man!
DARE TO BE STUPID was an original. It was only based on the style of DEVO.
Another one rides the bus
The brilliance of Weird Al is that he's an amazing lyricist, blending the sounds, beats, and actual words of the original song into his parodies. And, on top of that, he's a really good singer. When you get to him doing rap songs, you'll find out he's probably one of the greatest rappers ever.
Weird Al is the best rabbit hole to go down. I don't think you could go wrong with anyone you watch.
I needed this reaction. I recommend Amish Paradise(Gangstas Paradise), Aluminum Foil (Royal), White and Nerdy(Ridin Dirty)... Really anything else he's made. It's all awesome.
Edit: Just to add that he's so widely respected in the music community that many artists only consider themselves as having "Made it" if they get parodied by Weird Al.
Mans got to get his pops to link him up with the legend haha
This song is so politically incorrect it would never get made today, and I'm here for it.
"When I sit around the house, I really sit around the house!"
I don't know why, but I love that line.
The mouse trap.. because he's in the subways of New York! All his little parodies make sense... if you think about it. Doh! And he really has a good voice too. Weird Al was/is a genius in what he does.
Michael Jackson was so excited for Weird Al to do his music video, that he gave him the actual set he used for Bad
He has a career span for over 40 years now, made a couple of movies (the last one came last year, Dan Radcliffe from Harry Potter plays him), he also has a lot of his own material (One more minute, Hardware store, I was only kidding are some of the songs you should really check in to), and he always asks the artists for permission to parody their songs eventhough he doesn't have to, he says it's a matter of principal. Al is a legend 😁😁😁
I grew up on Weird Al, his stuff is always amazing. And what's crazy is that even now, his live shows are incredible - I swear he does costume changes between almost every song haha
I love it! Glad you are starting this rabbit hole. Much love to you Cliff. I really appreciate your reactions and good vibes. Oh yeah, check out White and Nerdy for some bars.
James Brown had a song "Living in America" that Weird Al parodied as "Living With A Hernia". James Brown basically let Weird Al use his band, his dancers and sets to make the parody. Great song, you should check it out.
Hahahahaha! Thanks Cliff, I needed that laugh. I laughed so hard watching your reaction that I too was crying. But I have to admit, this made me feel old because I remember sitting in front of my TV that night when MTV did the world premier of this video. (Back when MTV was actually about playing music videos). I was a teen back then. I love a lot of Weird Al's work, but I have to say my favorite is Amish Paradise and got excited when you saw that and said that was next. I will now be waiting for you to do that reaction. Again, thanks for the laugh, I really needed that right now in my life.
You will enjoy Amish Paradise, based on Coolio's Gangsta Paradise
Great reaction! No matter how many times I watch weird Al’s videos I laugh so hard I cry. Watch them all you’ll love them. White and nerdy, and foil are two of my favorites
I can’t believe you haven’t watched weird Al before. You’ve lived a sheltered life Cliff. 😂
Imagine him trying this today.
Al mentioned in interviews in 2019 and 2020 that he retired the suit and won't perform it at live shows any longer due to a shift in what society finds socially acceptable.
@@firemoon I thought I had heard something like that in the past. He is a comedian but with music, people need to get over it.
Weird al is a gem. Even though he didn't need permission, he always asked the original artist before he did a parody. Would love to see you dive in to more of his content!
Mike loved this guy, he provided props, stages, reference material and even cast Weird Al in one of his own music videos
Woohoo finally we get some music from weird Al
Weird Al is the absolute man in so many ways. Anyone can try to make a parody but he made it an art.
Some of my favorite Al songs are actually his originals, and are imo on par with his parodies if not even more entertaining. As someone mentioned Hardware Store has probably the most mind blowing Breakdown ever, but some of my all time go tos are “Dare to be Stupid”, “this is the life”, and “Everything you know is wrong” just to name a few.
Welcome to the circus
People use to beg to have their sings done. It was an honor to have your song done. He is talented as he still has to sing and dance to make the videos. Too much fun
There's rumors that most music artists feel absolutely honored when Weird Al asks for permission to make a parody of a song.
The interview he did with Eminem is funny AF he did it all his self they never had a interview together
Weird albums are normally 1/2 parodies, 1/2 original songs inspired by a band or a style, and 1 compilation of contemporary songs in a polka style. So he's got a bunch of original songs, but the parodies are the hits.
Michael Jackson provided all the costumes and background singing too. He is a fan.
Weird Al is absolutely brilliant. It is actually hard to do good parody, and his is spot on! You asked if he only did parodies? He obviously does one-to-one parodies, like you just watched, but he also does stylistic parodies (re: Dare to Be Stupid in the style of Devo), and with every album he would put together a polka mashup (he plays accordion) of several current pop hits. But, yes, he also writes his own original stuff. Hard to recommend a specific song, just hit up his whole catalog! But if you want to hear the man's rap chops, check out Hardware Store.
"I've got more chins than Chinatown..." LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!
Eat it; Hardware Store; Word Crimes…. He even did a pun on Hamilton!
That's what Weird AL does. He perfectly constructs parodies down to the fine details of how many syllables he needs.
As an immigrant learning English through songs' lyrics, or comedians like Steve Martin on LP records... Weird Al was perfect for adding to my learning through music and comedy. He is hilarious!
😂🤣😂 it's been years since I last saw this! many have reacted to him but you're the only one that understood/got ALL of his moves, especially the sound effect of his hands etc! You're the best honestly, you catch things that most don't on all your videos, from lyrics to sound to movements and visual. Thank you for brightening up my morning🙏
Best parody he’d ever put out. I used to watch this all the time when I needed a Laugh or some cheering up. Most of his stuff are all hilarious hits but this one is the one that sticks with me as his best song. No one was doing anything like this at the time ( to my knowledge anyway) 😂
I saw Weird Al live and it was amazing, so many costume changes and the fat suit
It's been said that you've truly made it in the music biz when Weird Al releases a parody. He has five Grammys, his discography is insanely broad, and he's stunningly brilliant. He's parodied everyone from Madonna to Bob Dylan to Nirvana to Pharrell.
I respect Al so much. He always asks for permission from the artist and tries to do the video justice. He actually rented the place that MJ did his video. I think he and Michael became friends of a sort
honestly. rewatch the original, the rewatch this. it's more than genius...
Duuuuude!! I am so excited for you going down this rabbit hole. Weird Al is 100% the GOAT. Try "White and Nerdy", "Handy", "Eat It", "Amish Paradise". So many good songs.
One thing I always loved about Weird Al’s parodies is his attention to detail in the videos. White ‘n’ Nerdy and Amish Paradise videos were excellent!
Less than half of Weird Al's 14 studio albums are parodies. Al's an incredible song writer.
My favorite song is his original Velvet Elvis. No one writes harmonies like Al.
Al posted a video during the pandemic of his original song, Germs. It's so funny and his performance is....well...you'll see.
He does a LOT of parody, but he does write his own songs inspired by certain bands, like Stuck in a Drive Thru
Dude, your laugh is priceless.
Madonna said "You know youve made it when Weird Al parodies you. For her he did "Like A Surgeon". He famously did 2 Star Wars videos, Lady Gaga "Perform This Way", "Another One Rides The Bus",
The list is almost endless. For ordinal works, "Pretty Fly For A Rabbi"
He is the best at parodies. I can't believe you've never heard his genius! Please go down that rabbit hole. Lol. Amish Paradise is definitely next! This reaction just made me smile so hard my cheeks hurt. So happy you enjoyed it.
You tube shouldn't block anything that you react to PERIOD!
You are reacting to videos as every other channel!
You are the Best and we want you here!💙💙💙
The most amazing thing, is if you play this parody alongside the MJ original, it's virtually identical, shot-for-shot. Which is pretty amazing in my book and shows just the level of detail Weird Al puts into his music and his videos.
OMG, your laugh is contagious. I love your reactions!
Weird AL is the king of parodies. In the 80's and 90's if he didn't do a parody of your song you weren't on the radar at all! Amish paradise, white and nerdy both get reacted to alot on RUclips. Enjoy this rabbit hole!
If anyone deserves to be in the rock n roll hall of fame it's wierd al he makes people famous, most stars think it's an honor to be parody by him.
Al is without a doubt the king of parodies! One of my favorites is "Livin' with a hermia", a parody of James Brown's "Livin' in America". And like MJ, Brown supported Al with all he could: costumes, background dancers, choreography....That's because this 2 videos are so good: they are so damn close to the original, in the case of "Fat", it is nearly a 1:1 copy!
I've seen that video 100 times easily and your reaction had me crying!! Loved it!
As most have said below. Michael was a massive fan of Al's.
Naturally Al always asked artists if he could parody their songs. When he asked Michael, he felt honoured and was stoked. However he had one demand, that Al leave the choreography and making of the film clips to him. In so when you watch this clip, everything IS ACTUALLY the same sets and Michael helped Al ham *cough, cough* everything up as much as possible which made it even more funny.
Michael took great pride in helping Al do these videos, Fat and Eat It.
Just catching up on old Cliff beats reactions. Al also did couch potato which is Lose Yourself by Em. He always asked the artist. Eminem just told him he couldn’t make a video for it. Al was always on point with these. Also Eat It is good.
He's got so much original work! He does a ton of original and pastiches (original songs in the style of another artist)
My personal favorites of his originals are "one more minute", "hardware store", "dare to be stupid", "Bob", just to name a couple. But he's got a massive number of songs spanning 4 decades, it's a great rabbit hole to fall down because he's an amazing musician.
Yes, he does his own originals too. I saw him in concert last June and it was all original music, no parodies, no costumes and it was amazing. Look up Hardware Store, You Don't Love Me Anymore, or One More Minute With You. Also an old, old one, The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota. There are so many.
This video is a national treasure, I can't breathe right now 🤣🤣🤣😂😆
Love watching people find Weird Al for the first time!
Seriously, keep going down the Weird Al rabbit hole. He does do originals, along with pastiches and parodies. Fat and Eat it both do really well imitating the MJ videos.
He does basically 3 types of songs:
-Direct parody: Like this song, it's a rewriting of an existing song to have humorous lyrics.
-Pastiche or style parody: It's an original humorous song done in the style of a particular band or artist, but not a direct parody of one of their actual songs. One of my favorites he does of this kind is the song Bob, a style parody of Bob Dylan. Another great one is Genius In France, a style parody of Frank Zappa on which Frank's son plays the guitar part.
-Polka medley: This just takes bits and pieces of popular rock/pop song lyrics and puts them together over polka music. Most people tend to either love these ones or hate them, personally I love them.
now do the parody version of Beat It
I’ve never actually seen any of these Weird-Al videos before, I’m laid in bed , headphones, iPad and tears of muffled laughter trying not to wake the rest of the sleeping household 😂
OMG thank you for reacting to this. I forgot how amazing this video is. Great work. Keepitup
dude i’m crying just watching you. i’ve seen weird al live several times. he’s hilarious
Al is the King of Parody. He's been on the scene for 40+ years. He does have a few original songs like "Dare to be Stupid". But mostly they're form of Polka's. Even then, he samples other songs and plays it on an Accordion.
Love it! “When I get my shoes shined, I have to take their word…”
"Amish Paradise" would be a great next choice. His "Smells Like Nirvana" parody is excellent also.
A few friends of mine went to see him in 2006 and said he is incredible playing different instruments, very talented.
In Case no one mentioned it, you must watch the original music video before you watch the Weird Al parody. Then you can really appreciate how great most of his videos are.
It actually holds up over time!
oh my god i forgot how funny his older music videos were!!! the fact that mj loved weird al so much is amazing.
Al's attention to detail from the original songs and videos is AMAZING. Find the videos where people have put his video side-by-side with the original sometime. I think the best one is where they cut together Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana with Al's Smells Like Nirvana and went every other beat. I grew up listening to Al: Love the dude!
He's also done "style parodies"; the song " Dare to be Stupid" sounds like Devo wrote it, and "One More Minute" sounds like a 60s doo-wop love song.
Am doesn't have a record label anymore; he releases all of his music independently.
After this excellent reaction, I fully support you covering every Weird Al tune for which there is a video (which is likely most of them, by now).
Weird Al Yankovic is a Legend and should get a Grammy every year just for being so Awesome. 👍✌❤
Not ALL of Weird Al's music is parody (but most of it is). My favorite song by Weird Al is called "One More Minute" and I'm pretty sure it's NOT a parody but it IS really funny. He describes all the things he would rather do than to spend one more minute with this woman. They include things like getting 100,000 paper cuts on his face, sticking his nostrils together with Crazy Glue, diving into a pool filled with double-edged razor blades and cleaning all the bathrooms in Grand Central Station with his tongue. It's hilarious!🤣
80% of Al's discography are his original songs. He's released 14 studio albums and less than half are parodies, plus he writes music for movies, tv and commercials.
It would have made it even funnier for him if he had watched the original MJ "Bad" video just before seeing this because then you can appreciate how nearly identical the two videos are.
Haven't heard this one in years. Still funny as heck. Love Weird Al! Great reaction!
Mom and I just laughed crying along with you 🤣 great reaction 😂
He's got both originals and parodies. Both are frickin' hilarious. So glad you found this rabbit hole.
Unlike most parody makers, weird al is actually very respected in the music industry
Dude at wish you could remember the original video, you’d realise how amazingly correct this one is, so well done. This was always my favourite, but then again I say that for a couple of others too. And every second line is “that’s the best line of them all”, but so is the next one!
Weird Al is an underappreciated genius.
Having watched all your other "Weird Al" reactions first, it's fun to finally watch your first one. Just two months later you're hooked, lol. I've been a fan of his since I bought "In 3-D" on cassette back when it came out. One thing you should do is watch the original videos of the songs he parodies, because he matches them as close as comedically possible. Welcome to the community, brother 🤘
Along with the other songs mentioned in comments, he parodied Madonna's "Like a Vir***", called "Like a Surgeon". That was great too
There are three of Weird Al’s songs I sing when I hear the original music…”Beat It”/“Eat It”, “Hey Mickey”/ “Hey Ricky” and “Another one Bites the Dust”/ “Another one Rides the Bus”….his other parody I love is “White and Nerdy”
"Another One Rides The Bus" a parody of "Another One Bites The Dust" was his first parody. Living With A Hernia and Trapped In The Drive-Thru are musts.
"My dad's friends with Weird Al"
You just gonna drop a bomb like that on us so casually? 🤯😲
He does have original songs as well, but his parodies seem to be much more popular. When he reached out to Michael Jackson seeking permission to do this video MJ actually offered to let him use the same set that he used for Bad and even helped with the choreography.
Almost all of Al's albums also usually have a polka medley on them. Takes a bunch of popular songs and does a medley of them in a polka style. My favorite one is the "Angry White Boy Polka" lol
I got to see him live in concert and it was amazing 😂😂 You have to do Amish Paradise and White and Nerdy😂😂😂
Best thing about Al is he always seeks permission from the original artist. MJ was a huge fan only drained him once, he wanted to a black and white version called eat all night , but MJ thought the message of the song shouldn’t me mocked. Prince refused all his attempts, for everyone else get an Al parody is a badge of honour
Al has a ton of songs... amish paradise, hardware store, because I'm happy.... ,,word crimes...the man has bars...
My guy u got me rolling here bro I needed this. Have a good one my friend. AOD fam 💯👊
