"Weird Al" Yankovic - Ricky - live at The Rock Palace, 3-17-1984

This is a very rare live performance of Ricky. Throughout his career he has only performed this song a handful of times.
Sorry about the timecode on the video, but as far as I know this is the only copy available.

My Great Granddad, who played the accordian in a polka band, was a huge fan of Weird Al. Said Weird Al rocked that squeeze box!

Omg thanks! I couldnt place why she was so familiar outside the Lucy impression.

She's a hero of our childhoods!

[@BigJDawg4523]

Awesome the voice actor of Dot Warner performs with Al!

[@karlchung]

wow i didnt know a live version of this exists thanks for sharing an early classic of al's.

[@henrym6411]

Lucy is played by Simpsons voice actor tress macneiile, this is the only time Al played this live.

[@Vitorio582]

Almost 5 years later but I have to say: This is NOT the only time Al played it live. Bermuda told the 2000 Inch Podcast that he had to sing Tress' parts when she wasn't there, which... didn't sound really good and they played a clip from another concert that you can tell that it's not a clip from this video

[@MrKaywyn]

Dot from The Animaniacs.

[@HachiRoku4586]

Aw look how young Tress is! :D
This is wonderful, thank you for uploading!

[@nonebusiness4488]

this is so great. they are both so funny. she does a great lucy. the lyrics are so clever, of course, what do you expect from weird al, clever lyrics. and the song is just the funniest thing. i really think this video is the funniest one he EVER did. lets babaloo lucy! funny.

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

I was first introduced to I Love Lucy through this song.

[@millerjohn619]

Hey Micky just popped up under my suggested videos. I immediately started singing Hey Ricky.

[@thewenik6876]

Awesome early performance. Glad seeing. Thanks. And Tress McNeille is who sings as Lucy. 👏🏻☺️

[@MegaMario5671]

Did anyone notice that Weird Al is spelt as “Wierd Al”

[@Hudson96919]

Yess😂😂😂😂 i wonder why

[@mitchellyoung8561]

LOL, no...after 30+ years no!

[@woodpeckery]

That's wierd! 👀
Someone musta been wired!!! 😱

[@vestonbruno2795]

I wonder how Al brought Tress MacNeille on-board for this concert? Most of his tracks that have Tress MacNeille would either be borrowed from the track itself.

[@RyWllWatch]

For a brief moment, and this speaks either to '80s hair care or my eyesight, I nearly mistook guitarist Steve Jay for Pat Benetar.

[@RogersRoyal]

I can't stand how quiet the crowd is here. If he played that at the last concert I was at a year ago they would be going wild! Liven up people, you can have fun. Even in the 80s!

[@therealCrazyJake]

Might have just been in awe at seeing this done live instead of on a screen like it was in concerts from the previous year. Tress MacNeil actually showing up to perform this was quite a rarity with how busy she always is.

[@ieatpoopforlunch]

Man,this looks like an official live video! This is cool!

[@JTCurtisMusic]

Tress MacNeille plays keyboards at the end? Who knew?

[@brandonthemainstreetelectr1204]

The keyboard is the roland jupiter 8 synthesizer

[@mariadanielaoliveracalvo7040]

Original Song: "Mickey" by Toni Basil/"Kitty" by Racey.

[@SecretTimeWarp]

@MissRandomIsRandom That's because Al had notoriously AWFUL audiences in the early years. People just didn't "get it" yet.

[@frymahhide1982]

@StrongBad27 yes, I know her from Animanaics :)...and a bunch of other stuff, too.

[@allisonjae3152]

Also Babs Bunny on Tiny Toons and Angelica's mom on Rugrats.

[@stapler942]

What's bizarre is that Tress MacNeille not only resembles Lucy, but she also looks a bit like Toni Basil. 😝

[@rapman5791]

Tress has nice teeth

[@SonicTheBluHedgehog]

Why is the crowd still as rocks? It's a weird all concert, gosh darnit! wave lighters in the air or SOMETHING!

[@crimsondeath84]

I was born on this exact day

[@frymahhide1982]

@StrongBad27 that is most definitely Tress - I am a very big fan of hers and can also recognize when she's playing a character :)

[@JugheadObama]

Tress MacNeille

[@evanzuri8300]

It's so funny how uncomfortable Lucy (tress macneile) looks throughout this whole performance

[@knightrdrx]

great picture quality!

[@gandalfshakur8235]

Just when we found the holy grail 27 didn't

[@theinfraredgamer159]
