    Weird Al totally sells himself short on his dancing ability. Guy’s got some SERIOUS moves and he can dance like James Brown as easily as Michael Jackson as easily as Madonna. And he does it all convincingly without really looking awkward or stupid except when he wants to. It’s really impressive.

      But I never heard of WEIRD Al Yankovic's music or seen any of his Videos until here recently. And Everytime I am feeling down or depressed or bored, I grab my ANDROID phone and watch the video's and listen to the PARODY MUSIC that's what he did best, and it lifts me to outer space it cracks me up so much. I owe a million thanks (and a million LAUGHS) to WEIRD Al Yankovic for all of his songs

    • @crescentfreshbret
      @crescentfreshbret 5 лет назад +13

      And the funny thing is, this was mainly done by Al out of obligation to his record label. They’d been hounding him to parody one of his fellow Scotti Bros. Records artists for quite a while, and he finally gave in when his labelmate James Brown scored a big hit with Living In America. Whoda thought this would result in one of his most clever and well-done parodies and videos?

    • @terracottapie
      @terracottapie 5 лет назад +8

      It was important that he got the blessing of James Brown for this one, because when you really break it down, he's basically doing blackface here. It would be way more offensive if he just "did it", but because James was on board it comes off as harmless.

You don't realize how accurate the song and video are! I've been a fan of yours since Middle School. I own copies of your TV show, your movie, and have listened to many of your songs but tonight after watching UHF again, I thought I'd try looking up the song playing when you pull up to U62's station in the Nash. It goes kind of like, "Do wee do wee do. Woah woah woah." It's not included on the soundtrack. Would you happen to know the name of the song? Thank you so much for your many years of making quality and hilarious entertainment! - Barry
