Awefome.

[spank]

weird al, the real king of crunk

[Technician]

Totally awsome.

[caco_killer]

Another great Weird Al video.

[Sharessa]

Awesome. Sadly, I can relate to a lot of that. :(

[Snarboo]

I think many of us can. This is looking like another great Weird Al Album.

[sirjuddington]

I think I'm the only person ever who doesn't find weird al funny. Oh well.

[Lüt]

I rarely find him laugh-out-loud funny, but most of his stuff is amusing and has a surprising level of replay value, probably because there's so little else I find that's just fun to listen to.

[Bucket]

Yeah. It's weird how most songs get dated, but his parodies of them don't.
Weird Al is the king.

My sentiments exactly. He's not gut-busting hilarious but his songs always bring a smile to my face.

Also, unlike most 'joke' musicians he has a great understanding of music and a bit of talent (more than most).

[Goat]

Awefome indeed

[Technician]

He cut his long hair for this. :C

[Craigs]

Heh, pretty cool. I've always been a fan of Weird al's work. It's a nice alternative to all the Gangster Rap, emotional chick music (Paris Hilton... <_<, and morbid and opressing music you usually hear on the radio today.

[DoomDan]

Wierd Al is funny, but I rarely listen to his songs more then once.

[AndrewB]

I was a fan of Weird Al and completely cynical about mainstream music before it was cool.

[Udderdude]

lol.

[leileilol]

80/90s al > post-bad-hair-day al

He cut his hair like 5 years ago at least.

[TonicBH]

anyone ever heard of a bloody wig? I mean, his hair in the video's straight, Al's hair is curly in real life.

[Technician]

I just saw a recent interview before this and he still had hair down to about his waist. Because it’s curly they kind of looked like gross dreads.

Anyone ever heard of electric hair straighteners?

[Technician]

Those are terrible for your hair.

[AndrewB]

I read a while ago that when he changes his hair for a video, he doesn't get rid of it. He flattens it with some sort of goopy substance, packs it onto his skull, and then puts on the necessary wig.

Many a people are copying Mr. Yankovic, it seems: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Atlantic_Records&action=history (Atalntic Records is the page edited by Weird Al in the video. Reason: The whole "You're Pitiful" issue)

most people do this, it's just copycatting.

I couldn't see him wanting to cut five years worth of hair to do a video.

They still make it straight without a lot of effort.

[Sharessa]

Heh, this talk about hair lengths reminds me of Maynard James Keenan's wig. When I first heard the APC album I noticed he had long hair even though I remembered him having a shaved head when he was in Tool. Then I saw them in concert and sure enough, he had hair down to his ass. I was like "guess he just grew it out". Then Tool came out with a new album and I saw them in concert and he had a shaved head again and I though "well I guess he shaved it again". Then a couple years after that I saw APC in concert again and he had long hair again. I was like "wtf, he grew that hair out pretty fast. Then later on at that show Audioslave came on stage and Chris Cornell sung a duet with Maynard who was suddenly bald again. It wasn't until this moment that I realised it was a stupid wig all along.

Sometimes I can be a little slow.

Ah I guess I just spoil my long, straight, silky hair.
