I have wanted for a long time for Weird Al to do a Super Bowl halftime show where he sings some parodies and the original artists pop in to sing along.
Hell yea!! That would be perfect
I'll do you one even better--a 'roast'/retrospective TV special where either some of the original artists he spoofed--or some musically-inclined comedians--sing his hits.
I would be 100% down with that!
Dreams
He once said that he doesn't want to do a Super Bowl Halftime show because of all the hate you get from it
Did anyone notice just how high Weird Al was kicking? Seriously, it was above his head!
trumpeterjen He's the only guy I've seen that can kick that high. Oh my goodness.
trumpeterjen You should see him perform "Like A Surgeon". He jumps (or used to) around with his leg behind his head.
He's incredibly flexible and possibly double jointed.
trumpeterjen He's able to do that.
trumpeterjen Yeah, well I can uhhh... ummm... not much really. I CAN ALMOST TOUCH MY KNEES!
I love how he switches from a Paul McCartney bass to a Gibson Melody Maker, just like they do in the actual video of the original song…Never noticed that attention to detail and just love it!!
The taped on pickguard is also another detail from the original
In smells like nirvana, he sets up the guitar left handed. In fat, he actually has a fat Asian dancer in denim and a rising Sun bandana to parody the bad skinny Asian dancer in denim in rising Sun bandana. In Amish paradise, during the chorus, he has someone douse water on his face in the shot to parody the originals chorus singers sweaty face in the profile shots. In eat it, near the guitar solo part, when the gangs are opening up the garage doors, the second door won’t open but only two feet and the people have to crawl under it to get out. In both Michael Jackson videos, he actually does Michael Jackson’s choreography almost to a T…but in a jiggly fat suit in fat and super floppy exaggerated in eat it. Dude has so many little things in the background and subtle intricacies in his videos, and came up at the perfect time for parodies. Loaded weapon, Leslie Nielsen, the parodies back then were subtle and clever and you can’t spot everything in a single viewing. Not like today with the “teen movies” where it’s pounded over your head overtly because the writers think you’re stupid. Weird Al did everything right to make it. Except uhf.
Also note he only has 1 string, and lead only has 2. PUSA were kinda famous for only using 5 strings between their two guitars.
3rdStageRight nah. INCLUDING uhf
@@matthewbartlett3442what's ufh?
I did not know that 55 year old could really kick over his head until I saw him live in July.
Now, go see the Spin Doctors. Chris Barron still does the overhead kick also. Must do yoga....
Wheezer did a cover of Africa with Al, and he’s still kicking-literally
What Filing cabinet said. Also, I saw him live this past June. First of all, my seats were about four rows from the front. Second, that was a long overdue concert experience. Third, he still does the high kick. Lastly, there are few live shows of any kind that are that good. My god, the energy he brought was insane.
He's 55...he's not dead.
Weird Al is 💯 hilarious 😂 im53now still love.
The Presidents of the United States of America now often end Lump with "And that's all I have to say about that." because they like the way it sounds better.
Dragon's Layer Productions POTUSA is amazing live in concert. Hands down one of the best shows I have seen
The circle is complete. The band inspired Weird Al, and he in turn inspired them.
cale lively do they play this song and peaches live?
Washington bands are the best
@@bobbyshaddoe3004 I've always wanted a covers album of Weird Al Parodies sung by the artists that were being parodied!
"He who is tired of Weird Al is tired of life"
-A wise man.
Homer Simpson!
Travis Webb if Homer Simpson and the animals of Barnyard (on Nick) can look up to Weird Al as a role model so can I lol
Melissa Allan xD
***** So true
Brainfreeze!
Weird Al Yankovic rules. The Pop Culture Parody King. Put Him on the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. He Definitely deserves it.
On ? Or in ?
Definitely!!!!
@@truthcanhurt4800 both
I don’t know much about the hall of fame but would he be eligible?
@@undisputed4821 "To be eligible for induction, artists have to had released their first record 25 years earlier and "have created music whose originality, impact and influence has changed the course of rock & roll""
He might have some issues with the 'originality' part (for his well known stuff) but looking at others who have made it, I'm sure he could get in.
I love the "His buddy Bubba was a shrimp lovin' man" verse (1:26) - sometimes it just feels like Weird Al lyrics are like a combo chain in a fighting game or something
..."His girlfriend Jenny was kind of a slut
He went to the White House, showed LBJ his butt..."
I love that description
Truly an impeccable lyricist
fitting because he's doing a really good anti air at 0:26
Weird al is awesome 🙂
that high kick tho?!
There are girls on the drill team at my school that wish they could do that.
***** I dunno, I don't think PUSA brought anywhere near the level of energy that Weird Al did in this video. :)
Legendary. Especially how he was able to do it mutiple times in quick succession.
He does it live on stage too
Look at the side of a Street Fighter I arcade machine. It is weird al.
I love that Weird Al has always been funny, talented and relevant. Almost 40 years now. He’s never fallen off, or had a meltdown. I’ve never even heard of a time where he was rude to someone. For someone who makes fun of other people’s work for a living, when he does it, it’s seen as an honor, rather than a mean-spirited jab. I know PotUSoA loved this
Weird Al is the man. Every one of his videos makes me smile. Thanks Weird Al
True me to
Y r u not verefied?
I was about to post "Weird Al is the man," and it was already the top post. He really is!
@@woody5476 The funniest Weird Al thing is from the movie UHF. He asks this little kid what his name is, the kid says Billy, then for no reason the kid spits right in his face. There had to be several takes of this, and Weird Al had to let this little kid spit in his face multiple times. That is really committing to a joke. That UHF movie is so underrated. If you haven't seen it you need to watch it. UHF is kinda like the old Keenan Wayans movies like Hollywood Shuffle and I'm Gonna Get You Sucka, cause they are all hilarious, but very underrated. I recommend watching Hollywood Shuffle and I'm Gonna Get You Sucka too. Weird Al and Keenan Wayans are both highly underrated. That scene in Hollywood Shuffle where Keenan threatens to pour out the Jheri Curl activator is one of the funniest scenes ever.
@@chrisgullett4332 UHF is a classic
this music video would be way better if they had actually gotten Tom Hanks in there
You'll settle for Pat Boone and you'll like it. Just be thankful he didn't use Dick Van Patten instead.
+Nondescript The actor who played Gump in the video is Andy Comeau
I know, but Pat had a cameo
Nondescript Yep, as the guy trying to steal Gump's chocolates.
+James Roberts so true
The most amazing thing about this vid....whoever got Al's hair in that bald wig!!! That man/woman has to be one of the best makeup artists in the world!
Omg yeah how
Or they might have just cut his hair off
I'agree, good make-up work, hilarious weird Al 😂
@@tetsujin_144 Nope it's a bald cap.
@@tetsujin_144 then wear a wig for a few months?
Yeah that does sound like something He'd do.
"And that's all I have to say about that." Perfect, just perfect.
I love the way Gump says it uwu
Those high kicks crack me up every time 😂😂
Same lol
Yes I agree 💯
I feel sorry for the kids not growing up with this masterpiece. Weird Al yankovoic is a genius he deserves to perform in the Super Bowl halftime show. That halftime show i will be alot better than the rap music on the super halftime shows recently over the past 5 years. Huge fan love weird Al.
I would actually watch the Superbowl if they had AL.
Man, the last few Super Bowl acts could be replaced by a Vaudville act and be more entertaining. 😊
these satires have so far outlived the tunes they're satirizing that I don't even remember the original!
Little Fact: The Presidents of the United States of America loved this parody so much that in their concerts when they sang "Lump" they would end it with "That's all I have to say about that."
You just stole the top comment, it's so obvious.
I would not have known about the original song if it hadn't been for this one. Isn't that something? But then again, this has happened to me with a few other artists like Coolio, Eminem and chamillionaire.
@@theRoyalHypnoCrown It's a reference to forrest gump
It was actually the band who suggested the line to Weird Al in the first place. Apparently he had been in touch with them before recording the song, so they were somewhat involved with the writing of it.
@@artvandelay3840 Weird Al later recorded a music video for their "Mixed Up S.O.B." song, and it was featured on Weird Al's official channel in early 2008.
This really just goes to show you Weird Al can do any parody, Rock, Rap, Pop, you name it.
I dunno about the rest of you, but because of Al, I can NEVER sing the original songs- I always sing Al's version. LOL!
Majority of the time his version is better than the original!
omg....i thought it was just me. his songs have COMPLETELY hijacked the originals.
I seem to remember hearing that Don McLean has nearly sung Al's parody lyrics before. (For reference: Don made the song "American Pie", and Al parodied it with "The Saga Begins")
They do get stuck on your head don't they
Same
He will always be the best at parodies!!! KING WEIRD AL
+Infinite Amp He should do another parody of this: Trump.
imma tell you like this. those leg kicks at 0:27 deserve to be in the library of congress. i love this man.
They are indeed culturally and historically significant.
Weird Al has the best dance moves. Seriously, he can dance any style in an exaggerated way perfectly.
Al does the Presidents so damn well XD
The rubber guitar @ 1:03 and the fact the band has a combined total of three strings to play gets me every time
Hope you know the original band was also playing a 2 and 3-string guitar.
This is as good as it gets
He's Trump! He's Trump! He's Trump!
What's with his haair?
+Giraffeman YES!
+Giraffeman Oh, Lord! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's been singing that line!! Every time I see or hear Trump I go right into, "He's Trump! He's Trump! He's Trump! What's with his hair?!" I wish I had the means to do the parody of the parody!!
+Giraffeman OMG LOL
+Giraffeman have my like good sir
CAN'T STUMP THE TRUMP!
TRUMP 2016!
Genius
Undercover
Man of
Power
O_O thanks?
Matt LePage truth has been shown
penguin clone ran into some government agents, they were pretty pissed I found out. They sent Gump back in time, said they named him Tom Hanks now.
Are you sure about the Genuis bit?
@@OlafShiel They never said he had to be *smart* to be genius. He saved lives in Vietnam, helped Lt. Dan to see life better, got rich on shrimp business and gave Bubba's family a portion of that fortune, had a kid with his childhood sweetheart and treated her well even though she hated herself. I'd say that Gump has a lot of fulfilling things in life figured out that many people ignore, for a simple matter of forgetting. Not that such a different person should _want_ to, but somehow, they end up like that.
The joy and laughter of Weird Al. MTV was awesome back in the 80s. When Weird Al had a new music video coming out. We couldn't wait. 80s music brought every group to the surface. Off the wall decade.
@@AmFire22 I don't remember the year videos came out. I thinking when mtv played music videos. When Michael Jackson's video of Thriller came out. Many people and myself were glued to the tv. But I still like Weird Al.
Can we just take a sec to admire those kicks? That man is flexible.
Is that Pat Boone eating the chocolate?! Lol
I never get tired of listening to Weird Al!
Same
Like a surgeon ha ha ha ha😂
1:24 that thrust still gets to me even after all of these years 😂😂😂😂😂
It's so cool that Al includes his celebrity friends in his videos, like Pat Boone and Ruth Buzzi. Buzzi's Gladys character is perfect for this. Watching Pat Boone go all postal on the box of chocolates is priceless. Don't get any on your white shoes, Pat!
This man's entire career is making people's day.
Love the Ruth Buzzy camero!
Those high kicks are impressive!
I’ve had this song stuck in my head for the last 48 hours.
It's been like 20 years for me 😂
I wonder how many people got the Ruth Buzzi snippet
Anyone 45 or older.😋
Those high kicks! Hahaha
Most entertainers perform material that someone else writes and do what the directors tell them to.
Al, does it all. He writes, directs and performs.
He's one of a kind.
Weird Al is an absolutely certified musical genius!!
Mike 'JazzMan' Hobbs 👍
I Liked The Part Going To The White House Telling JFK He Had To Pee And Showed LBJ His Butt At White House
Weird Al truly is an American legend. His movements, his commitment. Truly a dedicated performer.
Also, those fuckin high kicks he nailed need to be appreciated more.
When the parody is better than the original
Weird Al has always made me laugh my ass off!!!! I can remember when I first heard him I was like what the hell? I thought to myself this guy is seriously wacky ... goofy ... funny & intertaining as all hell!!! I know if I'm feeling a little down and I need a good laugh I just jam some Weird Al
Thank you Dave Ryan. I 100% agree with your sentiment.
It would have been so awesome if Tom Hanks agreed to do this video!
That leg kick though
CANT STOP WATCH THIS
Am I the only one reminded of Walter White by Weird Al's appearance in this with the bald cap, glasses and stache?
"Say my name."
"W-Wierd Al Yankovic!"
"You're goddamn right."
your spot on with walter white
yeah but…he's just supposed to look like the guy from the presidents of the united states of america
W-Al-ter White.
I don't see it... But then again, Breaking Bad was an awful show and I didn't watch it.
The music video for this song is absolutely spectacular.
Yes I agree 💯😊 and so hilarious
I love how they upscaled the resolution on his music videos! Awesome.
Weird Al never liked me , but I will never stop liking him.
THOSE HIGH KICKS!!!
I think the best part is just that everyone looks like they had fun making this video
The presidents and weird Al in one song?
Alright, why did no-one tell me about this masterpiece earlier?
Weird Al: America's greatest achievement
the CHOCOLATE!!! guy from sponge bob makes an appearance
LOL I can so see that if someone did a remake of this vid haha and when Gump runs they can have Spongebob and Patrick running from him
***** umm okayyy, does this has to do with anything?
It actually does, yes.
Oh my sides and eyes...! For a split second I didn't get it then it suddenly hit me like a ton of bricks!! Thanks for my gut buster of a laugh for the day, you're awesome!!
The fact the guitars only have a few strings show how much attention to detail they have
Weird Al is actually really flexible.
1:11 The obligatory dummy flying through the air.
I had no idea this existed and it's great
1:23 - 1:26 is one of the funniest Weird Al moments of all-time.
Weird Al is hilarious 😆 he did great on the parody of lump and forest Gump .
Rockers be killing me with them high kicks while playing the guitar!
Weird Al’s videos are every bit as good as his songs. I mean, Pat Boone & Ruth Buzzy? Hilarious and random!
I was about to ask if that was really Ruth! 😂
In 2021 this song would now be considered not PC. Makes it all the better, especially considering Al is one of the nicest people alive.
Dude the bass guitar in this is insane
True Story- Weird Al’s parody is better than the original
There's nothing like WEIRD AL
WHAT A LEGEND
A hit song and movie combined at the time
classic
Was that Ruth Buzzi?!?! And Pat Boone!
Fantastic
Weird Al loves to push the bendy necked guitar gag. You see that in the Smells Like Nirvana video too
Weird Al has a way of making great songs better. The master of parody. 😂
Yeah I had Another One Rides The Bus which was a parody of Another One Bites The Dust on a single in the eighties
for 25 years I never understood why Weird Al asked "is he in bread" and figured there was some reference to bread in Forrest Gump that I just forgot about... today I finally got it
Those high kicks though.
The most amazing trait of Weird Al is his ability to capture any music style and perfectly imitate a singers exact voice
SPOILERS ABOUT THE BOOK: In the Forrest Gump book, he went around the world on a space shuttle with a monkey and crashed onto an island with primitive inhabitants who learned English from Piths. He was also like 250 pounds and 6'5 tall. He also starred in a movie with Rachel Welch.
there was a forest gump book?
Matthew Ryan Yes.
Matthew Ryan yes by winston groom
Just like Jaws and the Rambo franchise, it's one of those books that was very different and completely forgotten once the movie came out. For example, Forrest was a, I wanna say, math savant if I remember, and Mama and Jenny lived.
And Lieutenant Dan got killed in the Gulf War. How did a double amputee veteran reenlisted again, I have no idea
Pure genius.
Smash hit song of the year: Lump, by The Presidents of The United States of America
Smash hit movie of the year: Forest Gump.
Weird Al: I'll take it from here...
and i love the way that guy ragdolled gump
This is SO much better than the original. lmao
For some reason I never get tired of weird al, and when I here a song on the radio I can't listen to it without saying the al lyrics
When people used to tell me about "Forrest Gump" I thought they meant this video because I'd never seen the movie. Come to think of it, I still haven't.
Bruh what the heck watch it now
@@mo_ops9426 Hey to be fair, I also still need to watch First Blood and Star Wars. I got a lot on my cinematic plate.
When I First saw this video, I fell out of my chair Laughing. A True Weird Al Classic.
Shows that Weird Al has been the best thing to happen in Comedy music since Spike Jones!
Swinging gump around I'm weak af 😂😂
Had the opportunity to watch the original "Lump" video weeks ago. Kinda matched with this version shot-for-shot.
"Trump sat alone in the White House... 'My name is Donald' he casually announced... Pence ran in with his long pyjamas, 'I can't find yours, so you're wearing Obama's'... He's Trump. He's Trump. He's Trump..." etc
I cannot get weird Al’s songs, especially about 4 of them, out of my head, very addictive.
Yes weird al did great 😂
Forrest Gump is an absolute American hero,I love that story. This story tells us that even if we start out with the most humble of beginnings,we can still make extraordinary achievements!
Weird Al is a genius... he parodies pop culture with pop culture and it's right on to a tee
My friend said Weird Al isn't music. I kicked him.
Good. Hope it hurt.
You are by many the definition of an American hero for your actions. I salute you.
But did the kick go over your head?
Violence is never the answer dude!
Yomi it is here
Weird Al has ruined so many songs for me, in the sense that I never sing the original lyrics. This is one of them!
James Haines How has he ruined them?
James Haines Not ruined, *improved*.
Lol I guess ruined is the wrong word. It's just that I can't sing the real lyrics to songs like "Lump" without singing "Run run now Forest run..stop!" So if I ever had to sing the real songs for Karaoke, I'd fail.
James Haines If you sang the Weird Al lyrics at Karoke, you should get extra appreciation.
+James Haines The creators of the original song now end the original version with "That's all I have to say about that" when they perform live.
Everything he dose is just perfection
I heard this song and had it memorized long before I ever saw Forrest Gump the movie. It was definitely an interesting (and at times, humorous) experience to watch all the seemingly unrelated lines from the song click together.
This is better than the original !!!
i discovered PUSA because of Weird Al
"Is he inBRED!?" 🤣
Yep. That's basically Forrest Gump in under 3 minutes
