“Gonna party like it’s 1699” my absolute favourite
what does it mean?
@@lukiland_ES When this song was made, it was the end of the 2nd Millennium. Some people & groups wanted to "party like its 1999" as it were. Like a new year, but 1000x more intense.
Modern society has recorded only 2 other melinnium ends in its history. So it made sense to party on the third.
"Party like its 1699" is a goofy double joke on that.
I thought it was a sexual reference.
It’s a hit song from Prince. Came out in 1982. It’s called 1999
First I have to finish my chores you'll finish thine.
That last part where everything is filmed in reverse but his lips are perfectly synced with the words. Legendary!

I love that Weird Al is respectfully funny about things he sings about. Wholesome stuff.
I'm gonna put it here because i don't have anywhere else to write it. I had a dream yesterday about a trial where Weird Al was playing a serial killer, and he was detailing his crimes as a musical bit

I had a dream that Weird Al Yankovic was getting an award for his acting as Steve Urkel. He is not the actor of Steve Urkel.

You can't deny, the Amish live better than anyone with internet access.
In my personal opinion I dont think they live a better or easier life, I think they just live a different life. They have lots of hard and painful things too, loved ones still get sick and dies. And hard work isint easy and they to have laws and strict punishments for crimes.
And they might get harrassed by ppl who dont understand them. Bullying is also something that exists even among themselves.
No one can really know the hardships of another person unless you walk in their shoes or actually listen to them if they tells you.
I fully agree

Have you been living under a rock in the last 20 years? This guy literally parodied Niravana.
So, most of my living relatives are Amish. A couple years ago I was visited by 3 of my cousins during rumspringa. I showed this video to them and they thought it was the funniest thing they have ever seen. They made me buy them a "How am I driving" bumper sticker the next day and when they went home they stuck it on my great uncles buggy. I got a letter from them a few months later. Great uncle John thought that was the funniest thing. Don't think for a second that the Amish don't have a sense of humor. Admire the amish for faithfully sticking to their beliefs. Very few of us do. Had lots of fun that week. Love you, Jacob, Isaiah and John.
I love this story. I wish you and your family well.
That’s funny as shit dude, you got a family with a sense of humour.
Ahah! Pretty funny family you got there :)
I grew up in Ohio around a bunch of Amish and I've seen buggies with neon lights inside and out and even a few that had systems installed.
Sticking to your beliefs which contradict facts is a bad thing and nothing to be proud of. That said, I don't think people who do that are necessarily bad
Inserting the theme from Gilligan's Island was pure genius!
2:51 Al does the whole chorus backwards. He doesn't just walk backwards from that grin, he _mouths the entire thing in reverse_ , precisely. Think of the concentration and practice this required. We don't deserve Weird Al, and we should all thank the universe that we have him.
