Weird Al is very unique, I mean he's been a major name since the mid 80's and he's barely aged. He doesn't really look that much older since his "Fat" song from the late 80's.
He felt that it was necessary to sneak up on that fact, before they tried to Stop him, and he was right😎! He barely got to the conspiracy part before he was "tranquilized."
A few years, someone started a thread where people were literally arguing about whether he's really revealing the illuminati conspiracy or it's just a song
The instant turn from foil advert to conspiracy theory is so surreal and just the image of a cooking show set and host with the lighting and images is amazing

Weird Al is definitely a person who has found his true calling in life because he is so good at it. Also he has made this world a better place just by being in it and being himself.
Weird Al said in an interview that his dad believed "the key to success" was "doing for a living whatever makes you happy" and often reminded him of that philosophy.
I wonder if he really believes in conspiracies? Some other songs seem to hint at those, too. And this video has 6 creepy frames of blood covered Weird Al.
You think reporting on the Shadow organizations, and our alien infiltrated governments are mundane?! Don't be uninformed, you are being used/watched, Weird Al KNOWS!
_"Honey, don't forget to pick up a gallon of milk on your way home from work. Also I'm an immortal from another galaxy and I might die anyway fighting a cosmic horror today, and we need stamps. See you at dinner"_

Fun fact: if you go frame by frame at 1:43 when he sings "Be aware" to the first security camera, there's two flashes of him screaming while covered in blood. Nice easter egg!
Actually, the plot twist seemed natural to me; I wondered at the time whether he was going to sing about tin foil hats. (And I've always wondered, if the conspiracy theorists are correct, brainwaves, and that foil blocks them, why can you still buy foil at your local grocery store? Wouldn't the government make it illegal?)
@@christopherheckman7957 Well, I won't take such "Foil" measurements too serious - mind control for the masses comes through your trustworthy (social) media outlets and "fact checkers". But the general theme became more and more substantial with every year since this song was released.
@@christopherheckman7957you’re asking a dumb question :/ if most people don’t know this conspiracy or truth exists why would the govt bother to ban something ppl aren’t looking at anyway. Please think smarter before commenting things you could answer yourself.
@@Ghoests Almost everyone who has heard of conspiracy theories has heard of the foil hat theory. Granted, someone could have never run across conspiracy theories in their life. Just like someone could be 75 and have never heard of the Internet.
On his tour in 2015, he sang aluminium foil (not aluminum) in Europe, (and probably everywhere else not North America) because that's how we spell and pronounce it over here. Who else would do something like that. Mad props and respect.
@@bt7846 The word is Latin, not English though, but luminum (lights) exists in Latin. I suspect that it is called aluminum because it is reflective. Then in the Latin Vulgate luminum, it means eyes in Judges ch16v28. Then inluminatos means "the eyes being enlightened" in Ephesians 1:18 in the Vulgate. See notice how the Illuminati symbol which is really the symbol on our US money has an eye on a pyramid the word also means eye in Latin.
@@bt7846 I know aluminium is the proper one, as I am pretty much bilingual (Norwegian/English). I was so impressed that him being an american, not only knowing that pretty much everywhere else where they speak english (not american) it's called aluminium, but when performing this song outside of the US he sings it as aluminium, not aluminum. Which other performer would do this?
I’m pretty sure the biggest sign for any artist that they’ve “made it” is getting a call from their agent saying Weird Al wants to parody one of their songs
He asks every artist before releasing a song (though he doesn't technically have to since parody is fair use), and very few have said no. Most famously, Prince said no to Yellow Snow (Purple Rain), and Paul McCartney said no to Chicken Pot Pie (Live and Let Die) because he's a vegetarian.
Aluminum Foil has many amazing uses, from near 100% gas barrier for piece of mind in stored food, to many delicious recipes you too can prepare for friends or family. With every Aluminum Foil purchase, you will not only receive aluminum, but, wait for it, a fully wrought alloy with 9, count them, 9 elements total, rolled to precise specifications. How about that!
I just realised that the reason why the second half has this creepy psychotic vibe is that from the moment the transition begins at 1:15, Weird Al stops blinking completely for the rest of the video. What a subtle cinematographic move.
I love how casual he made the transition like “oh yeah btw I’ve cracked the code” and i'm not even that bothered because this is the least weirdest thing that has happened in a weird al video
I saw Al sing this song at his concert in London a few years ago. He sang "aluminium" instead of "aluminum" for us because that's how we say it here. Lol what a guy.
@seneca983 - You'd have to change the sort of... pacing, on that lyric, a bit? Skip a "beat" pause? But it should still work. Instead of "..With a-lu-mi-num fooo-oil" it'd be "..With-a-lu-mi-ni-um fooo-oil"... I would guess, anyway.
Because he didn't take things too seriously he never got the recognition he deserved. His body of work is massive and he's up there with the best of them!
@@stacyeandrew2 Kinda like Norm Macdonald with his 600 or 6million, n being "hypnotized by Hitlers eyes" etc bits. Court jester is a bit like the "Holy fool".
Oh God!! Me too!!! We were at Subway and Ridin' Dirty came on the sound system and all I could hear was White and Nerdy. The kid behind the counter thought we were nuts.
I think this might be my favorite parody of Weird Al's. There are others that are objectively better but this one threw me for a loop. Starts as an infomercial song about tin foil, to suddenly cracking the codes of conspiracies and just as I'm going "What do conspiracies have to do with tin foil?" he brings it back at the exact moment my brain realized the connection. It just worked.
my few favs are this one because this is what got me into weird al when this first came out drive thru just because its relatable amish paradise because I just really like it first world problems because I have always loved it when people make fun of first world problems and white and nerdy because I just like it
Al is much more than that. Less than half of the songs on his 14 studio albums are parodies. Al's original songs are amazing. No one writes harmonies like him. When I saw him and his band of over 40 years perform his original song, Velvet Elvis, I was blown away. Melanie and You Don't Love Me Anymore are such beautiful melodies. A true genius.
@@sophiet1576 He also does songs in styles of bands; "Dare to Be Stupid" is every Devo song ever written, and "Genius in France" is just about every Frank Zappa trick in (what?) 8 minutes. (Al left out an orchestral break.)
I like how he says "Oh by the way I've cracked the code." Like he forgot to tell us then was like oh yeah I figured out the biggest conspiracy on earth
This song has probably increased my aluminum foil usage, as every time I go to store leftovers and I open the drawer with the various wraps and bags, I immediately think of "ALumINuM FOil, FOil" which causes me to almost never choose anything other than aluminum foil.
LYRICS: I never seem to finish all my food I always get a doggie bag from the waiter So I just keep what's still unchewed And I take it home, save it for later But then I deal with fungal rot, bacterial formation Microbes, enzymes, mould and oxidation I don't care, I've got a secret trick up my sleeve I never bother with baggies, glass jars, tupperware containers Plastic cling wrap, really a no-brainer I just like to keep all my flavours sealed in tight With aluminum foil (Foil) Never settle for less That kind of wrap is just the best To keep your sandwich nice and fresh Stick it in your cooler (Cooler) Eat it when you're ready Then maybe you'll choose (You'll choose, you'll choose, you'll choose) A refreshing herbal tea Mmm, lovely! Oh, by the way, I've cracked the code I've figured out these shadow organizations And the Illuminati know That they're finally primed for world domination And soon you've got black helicopters comin' cross the border Puppet masters for the New World Order Be aware: There's always someone that's watching you And still the government won't admit they faked the whole moon landing Thought control rays, psychotronic scanning Don't mind that, I'm protected cause I made this hat From aluminum foil (Foil) Wear a hat that's foil lined In case an alien's inclined To probe your butt or read your mind Looks a bit peculiar ('culiar) Seems a little crazy But someday I'll prove (I'll prove, I'll prove, I'll prove) There's a big conspiracy
That zoom shot at 1:20 sent me 😂😂😂 I love how Al uses the Kubrick stare to sell the turning point of this song 😂 even had Patton a lil shook!😂😂 great acting by Weird Al!!
The only man in history who can rock a tinfoil hat and not look any stranger than normal.

You really need to discover the joy of Vermin Supreme.
The thing is that his hat is a pirate hat but usuall

I'd be more interested in infomercials if they were like this
Aluminum Foil has many amazing uses, from near 100% gas barrier for piece of mind in stored food, to many delicious recipes you too can prepare for friends or family. With every Aluminum Foil purchase, you will not only receive aluminum, but, wait for it, a fully wrought alloy with 9, count them, 9 elements total, rolled to precise specifications. How about that!
i would be too tbh

Conspiracy theories too
@@rarler3333and also rots your brain 🧠
Another good one Al. I love this stuff, but if you have not heard Al singing serious stuff, he is an all-around amazing singer and entertainer.
I've known of Al since he first hit it big, but I had never heard that he did anything besides parodies. Where did you see this?
I just realised that the reason why the second half has this creepy psychotic vibe is that from the moment the transition begins at 1:15, Weird Al stops blinking completely for the rest of the video. What a subtle cinematographic move.
Nice catch
Whoa! Brilliant!
How did you notice that?
the dark part is when he's speaking the TRUTH........... the light parts are where he's mockin 'c0n$p!r@cy the0ristz'
@@Earth.is.F1AT Really? I think it's the opposite
I love how casual he made the transition like “oh yeah btw I’ve cracked the code” and i'm not even that bothered because this is the least weirdest thing that has happened in a weird al video
Right
Jaydee Animations what was in that tea he drank 😂
Snake ValeTudo many many alcoholic liquids
I saw Al sing this song at his concert in London a few years ago. He sang "aluminium" instead of "aluminum" for us because that's how we say it here. Lol what a guy.
In German it's also pronounced Aluminium. lol
@@Eisdax The more u know
Won't the additional syllable make it harder to fit?
@@seneca983 No? Try it out.
@seneca983 - You'd have to change the sort of... pacing, on that lyric, a bit? Skip a "beat" pause? But it should still work. Instead of "..With a-lu-mi-num fooo-oil" it'd be "..With-a-lu-mi-ni-um fooo-oil"... I would guess, anyway.
The greatest musical genius of our time!
He was going to foil their plans.

Because he didn't take things too seriously he never got the recognition he deserved. His body of work is massive and he's up there with the best of them!
Those that make you laugh and think, will be remembered long after those who make you cry and curse their name, as a general rule.
If he had taken this game to serious they probably woulda killed him already
@@stacyeandrew2 That's true, it used to be that the Jester was the only one who could tell the King the truth, and, get away with it Scott Free!
@@stacyeandrew2 Kinda like Norm Macdonald with his 600 or 6million, n being "hypnotized by Hitlers eyes" etc bits. Court jester is a bit like the "Holy fool".
His body of work is higher than most of the best of them. And more of it is high quality!
It's gotten to the point where I hear the lyrics to the parody whenever I hear the original song.
Oh God!! Me too!!! We were at Subway and Ridin' Dirty came on the sound system and all I could hear was White and Nerdy. The kid behind the counter thought we were nuts.
This is the original song isn't it?
Weird Al pariodies should be considering an improvment on the orginal song.
@@veronicasmith6314 omg i was at subway the other day n crash car dummies was playing n i thot it was the wierd al versin lol
Hahaha
This is one of my personal favorites from Al, the switch from food-foil to conspiracy-foil is so well done
director: why did you request that we load up this file called "EXPOSING THE ILLUMINTI.mp4"
Wierd Al: Don't worry about it.
LOL
Al has lived since the dawn of time and does not age.
Xavier Reichel it's all an illuminati conspiracy, or as Trump calls it, "Fake News."
Yup all hail Al!
Just like Patrick Stewart
Maybe he is Tom Bombadil?
Like Sean Bean
I legit want him to make a 6 to 8 minute version of this song with more lyrics.
Also thank you for all of the likes.
I support this comment hahaha
Didn't you see the ending lol the lizard ppl won't let him
Petition to make a sequel to this song
Do itttt
What lyrics would support the point of this song?
His is a literal lyrical genius
I think this might be my favorite parody of Weird Al's. There are others that are objectively better but this one threw me for a loop. Starts as an infomercial song about tin foil, to suddenly cracking the codes of conspiracies and just as I'm going "What do conspiracies have to do with tin foil?" he brings it back at the exact moment my brain realized the connection. It just worked.
my few favs are this one because this is what got me into weird al when this first came out drive thru just because its relatable amish paradise because I just really like it first world problems because I have always loved it when people make fun of first world problems and white and nerdy because I just like it

Have you ever seen tacky
The hat.
One of the greatest lyrical geniuses of our time. Thank you for never changing
Al is much more than that.
Less than half of the songs on his 14 studio albums are parodies.
Al's original songs are amazing. No one writes harmonies like him. When I saw him and his band of over 40 years perform his original song, Velvet Elvis, I was blown away. Melanie and You Don't Love Me Anymore are such beautiful melodies.
A true genius.
@@sophiet1576 He also does songs in styles of bands; "Dare to Be Stupid" is every Devo song ever written, and "Genius in France" is just about every Frank Zappa trick in (what?) 8 minutes. (Al left out an orchestral break.)
This comment should have 1000's of likes AT LEAST.
Weird Al: "Oh, by the way, I've cracked the code."
Lizard Oswalt: "You wot?"
He knew, at that very moment, The Beans Were Spilt!
At that moment, He hears the words that put ALL aliens in disguise on high ALERT! BEFORE Al was finished, Rogue MIB agents were on the scene!
@William Fishman That was probably before Al knew he was an evil alien, bent on World Domination!
At that second, calls were made!
I just realized Patton Oswald was in this before I read this
In 2024 this song still holds up ❤
Very ironic, because this will finish out the be the Year of Disclosure.
It's aging like fine wine.
I like how he says "Oh by the way I've cracked the code." Like he forgot to tell us then was like oh yeah I figured out the biggest conspiracy on earth
Asthma Allen no replies everyone gets it
lmao i love it
Watch out kids, we got a PhD over here!
Umm...yeah, thats the whole point of it
Nooooo, no, newp newp newp. I refuse.
But I do love the sound it makes in my head...
I forgot about weird Al for almost 2 decades. In some ways it's a blessing. Everything he's done in the last 20 years is brand new to me. Loving it.
You can tell, especially at he beginning, that he genuinely loves what he is doing.
How could you not? Entertaining people is the coolest thing in the world.
I love your account name
Michael Shadeck
I wish I was fucking Weird Al Yankovic. Wait, I don't mean like that! Wait, yes I do.
I love how Weird Al can take the most mundane of situations and turn them into catchy songs.
Conspericies... Federal Buisness Investigation... Yep, seems mundane.

I meant more the aluminum foil.
ikr
Joshua Boring strangely, you'r right

Because those people are part of the illuminati and were offended xD

From cooking show host to conspiracy theorists
Well, that's escalated quickly
That's just weird al for you
T.G W.H.M.V did he just predict RUclips in 2017 cause if you replaced cooking shows with let’s plays this song would basically be an ode to PewDiePie
Wow, is there anything he can't do?

He must wrap his face in foil because this guy never ages.
Literally
God Has Made Him Immortal
Maybe he uses foreverware lol
Oof
I find it surprising that he's 60. He looks like he's in his 30s
Always have enjoyed the smart humor in his songs. I'm dying over here😂😂😂😂
8 years and I finally realise that the ending of this song is a pun. His plans to reveal the truth were “FOILED”
Oml that just made so much sense
shit. now I have to pay more attention
...Huh.
Oh I get it.
I got it instantly
Anyone notice that Weird Al doesn't age?
I know right! He is 54 and he looks in his early 40s!
Jedwig lamb mid 30s you mean
No, he ages; he's just aging backwards.
Kind of like Patrick Stewart. Amiright??

This song goes from an Aluminum Foil Commercial to a Conspiracy Theory. You’re only going to get that kind of quality content from Al Yankovic.
And i'm happy about it
Also good profile image. From the Shine On You Crazy Diamond video, am i right?
What if Weird Al Yankovic is part of anonymous
Wake up. Conspiracy theories were invented by Richard Reynolds to boost sales of his aluminum foil.
The man is a genius.
Jordan Torres yuuuuuuuup!
Weird Al Super Bowl Halftime show! Let's get together and make it happen folks
I might actually watch the Super Bowl if that happened
They'll probably play 5 seconds of 1 weird Al song (Without inviting him or anything) and replace it with Mo Bamba or something
too bad theyre too dumb
YES,YES, YES!! No one could ever object to Weird Al!!
YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Back in the radio days, this was the song you stayed in the car for when you got home. The highest honor.
Fr tho lol
I believe Weird Al Is the only parody artist to make a song better than the original
I'm convinced all parodies make the original song better.
@@Jeff-sf5yd All parodies make the original song better
@@ActPsychological you hear that dram song?
Boi you have never heard of Rucka Rucka Ali have you
I think a good argument could be made that Tom Lehrer’s parodies were better than their originals, although he doesn’t match Al for quantity.
I like how the ladies just roll with it
Zuzz ...
They know the truth..lol
The just want their cheques
I love the change in the lighting effect as soon as he says foil.
hehehe . . . . . . _roll_
3 Years later, today I heard the original song for the first time. And I gotta say the Weird Al version is waaaay better
The insane part is that some of Weird Al's parodies age better than the original songs.
This song in particular is aging more and more like fine wine.
Another Tattoo and Party in the CIA arent to bad still either. They are all so fun I can't really think of one parody from AL thats just meh.
All of Weird Al's songs age better than the originals.
Copied a top comment from another video?
that is true
This is one of the few parodies that's actually replaced the original song for me in my mind. And that's not even a slight on the original.
Agreed. Sorry Lorde, but this version is better.
I’m the same with Amish Paradise. Don’t think I’ve actually heard the original in it’s entirety
It's all about the Pentiums, baby!
You’re lucky it’s only a few.
When "Beat it" comes on, I sing "Eat it". When "Bad" comes on, I sing "Fat"😂 sorry MJ

Weird Al KNEW ALL ALONG what was inevitably coming!
In my Basement I have plotted it all out with yarn and screen captures form "Master" Al's videos!
This song has probably increased my aluminum foil usage, as every time I go to store leftovers and I open the drawer with the various wraps and bags, I immediately think of "ALumINuM FOil, FOil" which causes me to almost never choose anything other than aluminum foil.
AS usual AL, amazing!!!
I love how he went on a whole Infowars tangent just to segway into "Don't mind that, I'm protected cuz I made this hat, from aluminum foil!"
*in Alex Jones voice*
“THE GLOBALISTS!!”
Yup that's the joke

LYRICS:
I never seem to finish all my food
I always get a doggie bag from the waiter
So I just keep what's still unchewed
And I take it home, save it for later
But then I deal with fungal rot, bacterial formation
Microbes, enzymes, mould and oxidation
I don't care, I've got a secret trick up my sleeve
I never bother with baggies, glass jars, tupperware containers
Plastic cling wrap, really a no-brainer
I just like to keep all my flavours sealed in tight
With aluminum foil (Foil)
Never settle for less
That kind of wrap is just the best
To keep your sandwich nice and fresh
Stick it in your cooler (Cooler)
Eat it when you're ready
Then maybe you'll choose (You'll choose, you'll choose, you'll choose)
A refreshing herbal tea
Mmm, lovely!
Oh, by the way, I've cracked the code
I've figured out these shadow organizations
And the Illuminati know
That they're finally primed for world domination
And soon you've got black helicopters comin' cross the border
Puppet masters for the New World Order
Be aware: There's always someone that's watching you
And still the government won't admit they faked the whole moon landing
Thought control rays, psychotronic scanning
Don't mind that, I'm protected cause I made this hat
From aluminum foil (Foil)
Wear a hat that's foil lined
In case an alien's inclined
To probe your butt or read your mind
Looks a bit peculiar ('culiar)
Seems a little crazy
But someday I'll prove (I'll prove, I'll prove, I'll prove)
There's a big conspiracy
legend
Thanks for the lyrics!
