Lifelong metal head, been to hundreds of shows over the years, but Al is still my most seen act ever. Never EVER a bad show, not even a little. If you can at all see your way to seeing this man and his band, DO IT.
AGREE! We saw him in little old Wenatchee 5 years ago and our faces hurt from laughing for a day or two!! VIP experience for my B-Day was TOTALLY worth it as well!!
I was blessed enough for him to come to my hometown 11 years ago during his Mandatory Fun tour when i was a teenager. I was pretty much a lifelong fan of his already up to that point and my mom, who probably introduced me to his music in the womb, took me to see his show. I can honestly say that was one of the happiest moments of my life. It was a phenomenal show. He even put on different costumes for each song referencing the associated music video. Fantastic from start to finish. Afterwards we went to his trailer where a SHOCKINGLY SMALL amount of people had come to get a picture or autograph and the like. We could not believe our luck. I still have the picture i took with him wearing my fuckin Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm t-shirt. Today is actually the 11 year anniversary of that, now that i think about it. So cool.
I believe "ill sue ya if you even look at me funny" is a reference to how weird al once got a letter from prince's lawyer to never make eye contact with him.
@@Can0spam Yeah, but Prince still had some beef with Al for apparently no reason. Prince was pretty protective of his music and when he heard Al wanted to parody it he might've got mad.
@@Can0spam It's not 100% true, but it is partly true. Weird Al and Prince were seated close to each other for an awards ceremony and Al had been told by Prince's management to not make eye contact with Prince. Al said in an interview with Wired back in 2011: "But one of the oddest things to ever happen between me and Prince was the year that he and I were at the American Music Awards at the same time. Apparently I was going to be sitting in the same row as Prince that year and I got a telegram - and I wasn’t the only one - from Prince’s management company saying that I was not to establish eye contact with him during the show. I just couldn’t even believe it." Apparently Prince was just weird and hated other people making eye contact with him or something.
@@TheCraftySam well there you go, I learned something new! I know the interns were told never to look Conan Obrien in the eye. He did not request this, his managers made it up. He believes this was said because if an intern talks to him, the will chat all day, the guy needs to be loved. :)
While I love Weird AL, I always cringe when people referred the McDonald's hot coffee scandal as a frivolous lawsuit as the woman who was injured in the claim received 3rd degree burns and required skin grafts in her groin region. McDonald's was serving illegally hot coffee and essential refused to pay for her medical bills and have made light to the public how serious this litigation was.
THIS! I worked for Subway for twelve years, and our hot foods and drinks had to be between 140°F and 165°F. If it was higher, we had to take steps to cool it down so we wouldn't hurt our customers.
Because it's a general parody of Rage Against the Machine's style and the guitarist for RAtM (Tom Morello) often plays a guitar with the phrase "Arm The Homeless" emblazoned on it. The chorus is especially similar to Bombtrack (from RAtM's first/self-titled album). Plus, RAtM helped to pioneer and popularize the rap-rock sound that is used for this song.
@@andrewmcguinness1845A fun factoid tying these together: Weird Al voiced Milo Murphy of Milo Murphy's Law, which is canonically in the same universe as Phineas & Ferb, including a fun crossover story.
This was actually animated by a Newgrounds animator, Same thing with a lot of his music videos from the time! To quote the official NG page for Weird Al music videos: "The story of Weird Al and Newgrounds is one of my favorite stories in the history of NG. It all started when Al was introduced to Newgrounds by Simpsons creator Matt Groening, at a party. Al saw an Angry White Boy Polka video and was a fan, so he invited the creator to hang out with him back stage at one of his concerts! In the months that followed, Al approached several other Newgrounds artists, including Dave and contracted them to make videos for songs on his latest CD! Dave later asked Al if he would be cool with a "Weird Al" collection on Newgrounds, to which Al responded, "tell Tom I'd be honored to have a whole Weird Al collection page on Newgrounds - that'd be just swell." So here it is! Having grown up as a huge Weird Al fan, I couldn't be more pleased."
@@gunier.j.kintgenanimations oh my god that's awesome! I had no idea about that! Thanks for filling me in on the details! I'm a massive Weird Al fan and that little factoid somehow escaped me!
2:30 No joke there was a burglar that sued a home owner for leaving a ladder outside his house which the thief used to try to get into a second floor window only to fall off. It wasn't even propped up, just laying by the house.
I would have claimed the ladder wasn't mine and it wasnt established whether or not the ownership of said ladder transferred with the sale of the house despite the fact the ladder was here at the time of sale. I never acknowledged ownership of said ladder..
Love Al and ABSOLUTELY love this song lol. He nailed the RATM sound on the head! (But I also agree with the person who talked about the McDonald's example. McDonald's as a mass corporation twisted the details of the case to make it sound like the lady was in the wrong but she wasn't. Anyway...)
What impresses me is that his band has to be able to sound like all these other bands. Think about the incredible stylistic variety of everything he’s parodied - his band has had to learn it AND be expert in polka. Major respect for Al’s creativity and the massive skill of his band.
OK, to be fair, the cat mascot on the "Meow Scoop" litter brand logo is obviously munching on something, and the litter scoop in its paw and facial expression imply it's the litter. Who WOULDN'T want to eat it when it's marketed this way!?

It's just a general "style parody" of RATM. The closest that it comes to parodying a specific song occurs during the chorus, which is similar to the chorus for "Bombtrack" (Burn! Burn! Yes you're gonna burn!)

As Joker once said "All it takes is one bad day, to break a good person." Not even Weird Al is immune to this 😔
Al just casually re-releasing some of my favorite songs from my childhood

Man this takes me back. This animation group made Star Wars Gangsta Rap, its Special Edition remake, and its sequel, Star Wars Gangsta Rap Chronicles.
For a second I though this was a simple reupload. Good job upscaling.
Always love this song.
I’m going to sue Weird Al for the whiplash I’m getting from head banging.
I’m suing Weird Al, because I laughed so hard my sides hurt. 😵💫
The irony that this song parodies ROTM hits on a whole new level.
Weird Al is a bit of a musical genius.
the "HA-HA-HA-HAHA" at the end is just the best
that new jersey comment is just true

Such a CLASSIC I watched this a hundred times as a kid, time for a hundred more
It's a rager 🤘🏽
Im so happy you uploaded all these, in such high quality, there's so much archive video etc being lost to rot/time/compression
We all definitely love weird al
Weird al is a goat my whole childhood
I have been listening to this and loving it since it came out! Thanks for the shiny new video!
I thought that Mr. Yankovic specialized in parodies. This seems like a perfectly sincere representation of American culture.
This will always be near the top of my list for Al's very best hits that tend to go under the radar.
Disney when there’s a daycare that has their characters on the walls:
The fact that
there is a guy in the crowd that looks like Mike Lindell is amazing. :D
Never would have expected Weird Al to make such a head-banger, but this song has been on my "Get Sh*t Done" playlist for over a decade.
I feel like Tom Morello would have played guitar on this if asked. Would have been a cool collab.
What impresses me is that his band has to be able to sound like all these other bands. Think about the incredible stylistic variety of everything he’s parodied - his band has had to learn it AND be expert in polka.
Major respect for Al’s creativity and the massive skill of his band.
at 0:24 why do the "Woe" numbers on the 3rd printed page change from 9, 10, 11, 12 to 8, 9, 10, 11?
You should sue the animators for that lol
Over here feeling old because I remember first seeing this on the site Albino Black Sheep
Haha I forgot how much I liked this song. Weird Al is one of those artists that just make you smile while you polka about.
Love the detail of the rage meter going down when he looked at the Taco Belle poster.
HE'S BACK
the song is from 2006 though
How is it that I've been listening to this guy since I was a kid, and yet, hes just a kid? I think Al is a time traveler.
I sprained my neck headbanging to this WeirdAl song, I'm gonna sue....
anyone gonna talk about how al choked to death but revived himself? he’s too powerful
