The fact the Albuquerque animator actually got to work with Al nearly 20 years later is a remarkable circle of life. I couldn't be more excited that Weird Al did a new Polka.
I downloaded the Kik app to watch his biography but can’t find it on there what’s the problem with his biography why can’t I watch it I’ve been trying for years I don’t think it’s even real. Probably trying to be relevant. Probably will do a podcast next for clicks
Yeah, I downloaded the Kik app to watch his biography and I can’t find it there or anywhere. I think it’s not even real and he’s just trying to be relevant for clicks.
The fact that some of the songs here aren’t even that recent just goes to show it’s been wayyy too long since Al last dropped one of these beautiful medleys.
@funk3nst3in Actually, this is not true. On Poodle Hat he had "The Real Slim Shady" in that albums polka melody. The same album, he parodies "Lose Yourself" as "Couch Potato." But, outside that? I'm pretty sure the statement is true after that.
I can't get over the "flowers" segment it's such a wonderful tribute to past music videos. And all the artists did such a wonderful jobs on their segments.
I wouldn't even call this a new song! it's just a bunch of songs by other people that he put into a polka medley. There's no new lyrics by him so this is not a new song technically.
It's come full circle: when I first listened to Weird Al, I didn't know some of the songs in his medleys because I was too young; now I don't recognize them because I'm too old.
In a world where big companies are sidelining actual artist and creators for ai, weird Al is out here funding and uplifting artist one music video at a time
Between Viv getting a spot, the dude who used to do those flash animations getting tapped for a segment, and the intensely creative censorship on WAP instead of opting for the radio edit, this may sit among my favorites.
@@TheAntimator-Official That's when I swore that someday, someday I would get outta that basement and travel to a magical, far away place, where the sun is always shining and the air smells like warm root beer & the towels are OHHHH SOOOO FLUFFFFYYY
Forget the Grammys, the record sales, the streaming numbers, the tickets sold - this is the highest recognition the music industry has. Congratulations to the artists whose songs got covered - You've officially Made It 🎉
I can't remember who said it but there was one artist who said "until weird al has parodied one of your songs, you haven't really made it yet" funny enough I was watching a video where kids had to guess the 80's song based on still images from the music video. The used Weird Al's Fat, and everyone guessed Bad by Micheal Jackson they were so so wrong but I could tell right away
Fun Fact: This holds the record of being the longest gap of when a new Weird Al polka gets released, within a whopping 6 years. Before, it was between Polkarama and Polka Face within nearly 5 years.
I love that this is a polka medley, a medley of 'Easter eggs' from his other songs, and a medley of animation styles/animators. Medleys within a medley. Only Weird Al could do this.
the fact that the animator for "everyting you know is wrong", and more famously "Albuquerque" got to animate part of this just gives me joy Edit: thank you all so much for 3.9K likes!!! Probably the most I've gotten!

Guys, I just realized something. We Don't Talk About Bruno comes before Vampire. We Don't Talk About Bruno ends with Weird Al getting crushed by a rock, and Vampire starts with him getting out of a coffin. I am pretty sure y'all get the implication.
Love the inclusion of different artists here. The dude who made the Albuquerque video and the Helluva Boss animators along with the rest. Also loving the style for Old Town Road and the puppet one.
The fact this medley contains basically the last decade of pop music really truly emphasises the comparative lack of Weird Al during we've experienced for quite frankly too long. Also, oh my god, the "next!" lady is voiced by Dot Warner/Agnes Skinner/Daisy Duck/Mom from Futurama! This is unironically the greatest guest feature of any Weird Al song.
She was also the lady arguing with Al in Jerry Springer (off the Running With Scissors album). "I've also been sleeping with your pet goat!" "That goat don't belong to you!" They've been working together on and off for decades. :D
It’s so inspiring that Weird Al is still making music despite having been assassinated by Madonna in the 80s. Most people would never recover from a setback like that.
4:04 this is the end of our amazingly funny roller coaster (I believe) but I’m happy to say folks all of that money that you paid for will be enjoyable for the show
I like the detail that after he is crushed in "We Don't Talk About Bruno" he ends up dead in a coffin in "Vampire". And after that, we see a possible skeleton of him in "Old Town Road"!
people talking about vivziepop in the animators but really, everybody is talented in this! It's really hard to animate and I'm proud of everybody here.
Can we talk about how ay 1:15 bruno walks on screen, summons and reads weird al's future, then gets UTTERLY SHOCKED, looks him up and down, and then finally runs away. Then right after a boulder falls straught onto Al? The little details in the animations are just amazing

there is something very surreal about hearing a weird al cover of a 2023/4 hit after only knowing him from like white and nerdy and polka’ing 2000s-ish songs
The WAP segment should’ve went “Get a bucket and a mop, this is Weird Al’s Polka!” but to see it covered at all in this already legendary medley is nothing short of a blessing. Welcome back Al we missed these polka parties
@@mlineberry25 I'm surprised Weird Al made the polka version of WAP since Al rarely or never curses in his songs. Mr. Yankovic is possibly the most creative comedy musician of all-time (Sorry, Tenacious D).
in a time where A.I. generated art is attempting to take the place of real artists, it means so much that you did this. thank you, weird al. you've always been a real one.
He got the animator from the the Fan “Now that’s what I call a Polka” Collab who animated the “I’m sexy and I know it” to animate “We don’t talk about Bruno” which makes me happy since I watched that video way too many times.
I'm honestly amazed by how Weird Al is 65 and he still manages to sound like this. He's been around since the 80s and he's still dropping bangers. Truly one of the greatest artists of our time.
Everyone is talking about Vivziepop and RWappin (and rightfully so), but nobody is talking about, Jack D. Evans, who was a part of the fanmade "Now THAT'S What I Call Polka" animation collab! All three fan animators got to officially animate for Weird Al, and that's AWESOME!!! Edit: Want to also add that the Polka itself is amazing! Weird Al and his team did a great job at polka-ifying pop songs from the past decade! Was especially happy to see "Shake It Off," and have it be the finale nonetheless! Was surprised to see "We Don't Talk About Bruno," but considering that song is by Lin Manuel Miranda, who is a huge Weird Al fan (not to mention Weird Al did make the Hamilton Polka), it makes sense.
KukoMitzu was also part of that fan collab. Honestly, the people who have either previously worked with Weird Al or are well known fan animators of his projects make up most of this list.
@@ClumzorZso happy he's still kicking; his film shorts was essentially part of my childhood along with so many others from Spike and Mike's Film Festival showings.
I certainly hope all these artists realize what a MASSIVE honor Weird Al bestowed upon them by including their little songs in another of his masterpieces.
I love that the comment section cares way more about naming all of the animators that worked on the video than they do about any of the songs that got polka-fied
Seeing the animator for the Uptown Funk sequence was incredible. Dude must have been overjoyed when he was asked “Hey, you wanna animate in an official Weird Al video? Also, your Albuquerque and Everything You Know is Wrong videos? Canon.”
@@cactuscat3262, maybe currently...but plenty of freaky animators have dropped off. David Firth (Salad Fingers), David Lovelace (Retarded Animal Babies...he animated the video for "Virus Alert," though), John Kricfalusi (Ren & Stimpy; he animated "Close but No Cigar"...but I understand why he's gone), and Aubrey Ankum/Rhode Montijo/Kenn Navarro (Happy Tree Friends) have all stepped away, it seems.
I won't say they're all bad songs, but this is one of the least catchy and memorable polka medleys. And it has nothing to do with Al himself, he did the best he could with what he had to work with.
@@Galamoth06, I'm not really a fan of any of the songs utilized here, but I feel that the draw of his polkas is more about his talent in turning them into polka versions and being able to string them together without any clanging musical errors than they are about the songs included themselves.
I'm glad Ryan got some official recognition after all his fan animations. But I'm more worried that Weird Al is in contact with Cyriak. Thats the kind of out there creativity that can accidentally summon Cthulhu. God help us all if Felix Colgrave ever gets involved in a project with them too.
...and if Cyriak, Felix and Weird Al ever decide to do a full-on co-op video, that will be the day we'll get the giant evangelion lady squish everyone on earth back into pure LCL
I love that I haven't watched anything by him in ages. But I could *still* identify Cyriak's style of animating right out of the gate. A genuine "Only one man makes cows move like that" moment.
Everyone’s talking about the Albuquerque animator but it’s also impressive that the animator for the “We don’t talk about Bruno” section actually was also an animator for a fan music video four years ago for Now That’s What I Call Polka. Great work, Jack D. Evans!
If I had a nickel everytime musical artists I love had muppets of themselves made for a videoclip this year, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't much, but it's weird that it happened twice!
Not only did so many awesome animators have a part in this, but also Tress MacNeille as the lady saying “Next” in the “thank u, next” number is so wonderful 😊
The very first animation, my immediate reaction was "Wow, that 'looks like Cyriak", and then I looked at the video description, and damn it really WAS Cyriak.
When i was a kid my first introduction to Al was The Alternative Polka. 27 years later, im jamming out to the latest Al polka. Im so happy to be alive sometimes.

Replacing WAP with a tap, a donkey, and a cat is genuinely genius.
I know he steers away from politics, but the only thing better would have been him doing the Ben Shapiro "Wet A P-Word"
Kinda reminds me of how he censored the swearing in the "Closer" section of "The Alternative Polka" - with a poking sound, and a clanging sound.

I'm lost...I'm fairly sure she's the one that suggested he do a parody of "Like A Virgin".
@@Alsebra It's a reference to his biopic, Weird: The Al Yankovic story which completely made up claims about his life, it's really funny!
@@Kittiekonfuzed, ah, okay...thanks for the clarification. Haven't had the chance to see the movie myself.
@@AlsebraIts a great movie. I highly recommend it
Weird Al defies all laws of reality.
4:04 this is the end of our amazingly funny roller coaster (I believe) but I’m happy to say folks all of that money that you paid for will be enjoyable for the show
I’m sure he’ll make more
Producer: How many references do you want
Weird al: yes
Edit note: holy this is my first time being famous
I mean that's just weird AL for ya
First one was Cyriak right?
I like you doing old town Road, but you use the boombox Make this on CD and cassette😊
@@user-ig8hx9ds1pYou do know this was made by Weird Al Yankovic, right?
Why did vampire look like it was drawn by someone who made hazbin hotel?
I like the detail that after he is crushed in "We Don't Talk About Bruno" he ends up dead in a coffin in "Vampire". And after that, we see a possible skeleton of him in "Old Town Road"!
Oh that's really cool, I never thought about that
@@ddirtylarrySame, haha!
BrUh
Weird Al is now cannon in the Hazbin Hotel universe 💀
To be fair, he does look really nice in that style, ngl, @@duckythegamer9059.
Everyone is talking about how VivziePop animated the Vampire part BUT WHY DOES NOBODY TALK ABOUT HOW CUTE THE VAMPIRES ARE?!
I need a plush of that gosh darn vampire
Agreed.
They look like Squished Adam😭
I want them as a plush honestly
Given how much mosquito repellent I went through on a birdwatching trip last week, I'm not too keen on bloodsuckers right now.
1:25 is that the animator of hazbin hotel
2:27 is that the animator of albuqeurque
you're right and right
people talking about vivziepop in the animators but really, everybody is talented in this! It's really hard to animate and I'm proud of everybody here.
true
Same. Yes, I may be happy that vivziepop has animated a section, but I agree here.
I can’t find her in the credits/description. Where does it say vivziepop animated in this?
@kagetpm1315 itll say spindle horse/Vivienne medrano
I love the old town road one
Can we talk about how ay 1:15 bruno walks on screen, summons and reads weird al's future, then gets UTTERLY SHOCKED, looks him up and down, and then finally runs away. Then right after a boulder falls straught onto Al? The little details in the animations are just amazing
that part giving Luna the show
Can we talk about the stroke I had reading this
@@er45g6 If you're having a stroke reading proper english then you need to go to College
@@er45g6 can we talk about the possible dyslexia you may have cuz this isnt rlly written in a way that could induce strokes. idk how to write this in a way that doesnt make me soudn like an asshole HRNHGJMNG,,., hey look at this silly goat i hope that one day i may feel its level of joy
And then he wakes up in a coffin in the next song… perfection
OH WE ARE SO BACK
Dui
YOU STOLE MY IDEA
HELL YES
Oh yeah! We are so back.
Hi
Seeing the Albuquerque guy again is probably the greatest crossover since Avengers Endgame
Sometimes you forget that Weird Al still makes things and then you see "5 hours ago" in your home feed on a POLKA MIX.
7 for me. I went to bed JUST before he uploaded and woke up to new music history.
We were here, folks.
He literally just started having a comeback
there is something very surreal about hearing a weird al cover of a 2023/4 hit after only knowing him from like white and nerdy and polka’ing 2000s-ish songs
11. I was at work
The WAP segment should’ve went “Get a bucket and a mop, this is Weird Al’s Polka!” but to see it covered at all in this already legendary medley is nothing short of a blessing. Welcome back Al we missed these polka parties
Brilliant idea, though.
@@mlineberry25 I'm surprised Weird Al made the polka version of WAP since Al rarely or never curses in his songs.
Mr. Yankovic is possibly the most creative comedy musician of all-time (Sorry, Tenacious D).
@@kenterminateddq5311On top of that, Al’s also better at political comedy than Tenacious D.
From your profile image, I could totally hear Homsar shouting that.
in a time where A.I. generated art is attempting to take the place of real artists, it means so much that you did this. thank you, weird al. you've always been a real one.
Al > A.I
Virgin AI artists vs chad Al artists
Isn't Ai art it's Ai "art"
@@Gorritymit's CGI. Not much intelligence in it, just statistics.
WEIRD AL GROOMED MY LITTLE SISTER! I REPEAT, HE GROOMED MY SISTER!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. “Weird Al” Yankovic is a literal musical genius. thank you sir.
He got the animator from the the Fan “Now that’s what I call a Polka” Collab who animated the “I’m sexy and I know it” to animate “We don’t talk about Bruno” which makes me happy since I watched that video way too many times.
yes i’m so glad someone else noticed that!!
Also 3:06 Shake It Off did the puppetry intro for Polka Face
Oh yeah same!
And he also got the animator who did the last part of “Get Lucky” or whatever song it was to do “Thank U, Next”
Same man
Weird Al doing a WAP cover is something I never thought I'd see
Right?! and im all here for it😂
When it came out, he mentioned how much he liked it in an interview, so it checks out
In the same video he parodies a Disney song
That was one of the highlights of the video!
Then again, he has done polka versions of both "Touch Myself" by The Divinyls and "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. So...yeah.
The possibility of Weird Al featuring a vocaloid song in one of these grows greater and greater
You’d think Ievan Polkka woulda made it into one of these by now. 😂
The Disappearance of Weird Al Yankovic
Polkaloid
Here's a better idea: a duet with Hatsune Miku
all fun and games til that song ends up being rabbit hole (jk, jk, bur could u imagine)
0:00 CYRIAK!!! Let's go!! This is an amazing cooperation
That little vampire going "bluh!" is so cute
Agreed, and the vampires themselves make me want 20 plushies of em
no it is not
my grandoa died for this comment. Next time, THink before you post
@@FUNclubMOVIEclub1 that's makes no sense and 2 tf is a grandoa?
@@ClawsOfCadence it’s not my job to educate you. Go take your hate comments somewhere else, cause they won’t work on me.
If this man can perform for 48 years and not offend anyone, then that guy you know can do it for a day.
I'm honestly amazed by how Weird Al is 65 and he still manages to sound like this. He's been around since the 80s and he's still dropping bangers.
Truly one of the greatest artists of our time.
I mean, there was that *tiny* one with Word Crimes (he didn't know Spastic was a fairly serious insult in the UK)
It's easy to offend, it's harder to entertain
@@the.aardvark he stays positive thats how he has immortal vocal cords
@@TSSmithand now apparently when he performs it he just skips that line
I cannot tell you how happy I am for Ryan Krzak for finally OFFICIALLY being on a Weird Al project. Mad props!!!!
fuckin real
IKR IT WAS AWESOME
I cant with those vampires THERE SO CUTE
the fact that cyriak animated this intro makes cyriak canon in weird al lore, and I'm so for it
You know what else is Weird Al lore? How to spell "canon".
I knew that intro had Cyriak’s fingerprints all over it! Makes sense he animated it himself
I knew it had to be him. His style is unmistakable.
@@Anvilshockwho the fuck cares. Weird al just dropped a new polka and you’re correcting grammar? Find new priorities
I was getting concerned we would get into the "so weird it's super creepy" end of his work, but the cut came at the right time.
"You can't make the best song of the decade by mixing popular music from the past 10 years into a single song"
Weird Al Yankovic: "hold my accordion-"
Nobody:
Weird Al: "Wanna see me do it again?"
‘hold my sauerkraut’
Oh hey the Albuquerque animation guy got to do an official animation for Weird Al! Nice
Just a great surprise!!
Right? Seeing that made me so happy for the guy
Hell yea!
Officially canon in the Weird Al Universe!
Even transitioned from.. Sauerkraut being dropped on last singer.
1:32
Why are the vampires so CUTE I wanna BUY one AAAAAA
All the references to his old music videos in the card board cut outs is PERFECT
yeah, i think it was like a surgeon, white and nerdy, not really sure about three or four, and five is obviously amish paradise
3 was his ode to DEVO called Dare to be Stupid. I'm not sure what #4 was@driftee8994

2017
You suck
no way its lonelysandwich?!?? the lonelysandwich that steals comments?1!1?
Everyone is talking about Vivziepop and RWappin (and rightfully so), but nobody is talking about, Jack D. Evans, who was a part of the fanmade "Now THAT'S What I Call Polka" animation collab! All three fan animators got to officially animate for Weird Al, and that's AWESOME!!!
Edit: Want to also add that the Polka itself is amazing! Weird Al and his team did a great job at polka-ifying pop songs from the past decade! Was especially happy to see "Shake It Off," and have it be the finale nonetheless! Was surprised to see "We Don't Talk About Bruno," but considering that song is by Lin Manuel Miranda, who is a huge Weird Al fan (not to mention Weird Al did make the Hamilton Polka), it makes sense.
Nice to see what I assume was a new Bill Plympton animation too.
KukoMitzu was also part of that fan collab.
Honestly, the people who have either previously worked with Weird Al or are well known fan animators of his projects make up most of this list.
Yeah I recocnized them to
@@ClumzorZso happy he's still kicking; his film shorts was essentially part of my childhood along with so many others from Spike and Mike's Film Festival showings.
Who's RWappin?
I certainly hope all these artists realize what a MASSIVE honor Weird Al bestowed upon them by including their little songs in another of his masterpieces.
I love that the comment section cares way more about naming all of the animators that worked on the video than they do about any of the songs that got polka-fied
Seeing the animator for the Uptown Funk sequence was incredible. Dude must have been overjoyed when he was asked “Hey, you wanna animate in an official Weird Al video? Also, your Albuquerque and Everything You Know is Wrong videos? Canon.”
Still can't believe Cyriak got a part. He's like, the most traumatizing animator online
@@cactuscat3262, maybe currently...but plenty of freaky animators have dropped off. David Firth (Salad Fingers), David Lovelace (Retarded Animal Babies...he animated the video for "Virus Alert," though), John Kricfalusi (Ren & Stimpy; he animated "Close but No Cigar"...but I understand why he's gone), and Aubrey Ankum/Rhode Montijo/Kenn Navarro (Happy Tree Friends) have all stepped away, it seems.
I won't say they're all bad songs, but this is one of the least catchy and memorable polka medleys. And it has nothing to do with Al himself, he did the best he could with what he had to work with.
@@Galamoth06, I'm not really a fan of any of the songs utilized here, but I feel that the draw of his polkas is more about his talent in turning them into polka versions and being able to string them together without any clanging musical errors than they are about the songs included themselves.
My favorite part is Vampire ngl, I love how he doesn't swear and how cute the little vampires are.
My favorite is uptown but vampire is also good and the vampires are adorable
That part was storyboarded by Vivziepop.
@@Orlando-wm2coshe’s not in the credits. Stop lying. She didn’t animate anything.

i want one!
@@abbyboswellsame
@@abbyboswell Fuck that! I *NEED* one!
Yeah its so cool, its inspired by Stolas’ outfit in Apology Tour and Al has Blitz’ tablecloth shirt on from Apology Tour too C:
i'd spend everything i have for one.
soul included
I'm glad Ryan got some official recognition after all his fan animations. But I'm more worried that Weird Al is in contact with Cyriak. Thats the kind of out there creativity that can accidentally summon Cthulhu. God help us all if Felix Colgrave ever gets involved in a project with them too.
...and if Cyriak, Felix and Weird Al ever decide to do a full-on co-op video, that will be the day we'll get the giant evangelion lady squish everyone on earth back into pure LCL
@@LeeeHack For some reason Cyriak was all over my youtube feed the past couple of days. Now I know why.
I was hoping to see meatcanyon!!
what about David firth? if I ever see him do a part in weird Al’s next song I will go crazy
The holy trinity of youtube strangeness.
I love that I haven't watched anything by him in ages.
But I could *still* identify Cyriak's style of animating right out of the gate. A genuine "Only one man makes cows move like that" moment.
"Only one man makes cows move like that" got a proper snort of laughter out of me, thank you for that. And you're right, of course.
oh my god i was thinking the same thing
Agreed.
Cyriak somehow manages to make what is essentially a cut-and-paste art style inimitable.
Cyriak has a very… unique animation style.
This is so good all the animations are just perfection!
Everyone’s talking about the Albuquerque animator but it’s also impressive that the animator for the “We don’t talk about Bruno” section actually was also an animator for a fan music video four years ago for Now That’s What I Call Polka. Great work, Jack D. Evans!
That's what I realized
@SpectronPrime yuh me too

Not only did so many awesome animators have a part in this, but also Tress MacNeille as the lady saying “Next” in the “thank u, next” number is so wonderful 😊
Thank you. I was hoping someone else would acknowledge her in this. Al has some truly incredible friends lol.
I knew that voice was familiar omg
The very first animation, my immediate reaction was "Wow, that 'looks like Cyriak", and then I looked at the video description, and damn it really WAS Cyriak.
So that *was* Tess!
