Is NS too young to know who Weird Al is?


Well hes back apparently posting 8 videos in 8 days.

http://mashable.com/2014/07/23/weird-al-yankovic-mandatory-fun-album-billbaord/

Somehow he got to the top of the charts with this new album. You can find all 8 in that link, but if you're lazy, which I know you all are.

"Foil" (parody of Lorde's "Royals")
http://youtu.be/w-0TEJMJOhk?list=PLuKg-WhduhkmIcFMN7wxfVWYu8qnk0jMN

"Handy" (parody of Iggy Azalea's "Fancy")
http://youtu.be/m0shG9zC6oU

"Sports Song" (style parody of college football fight songs)
http://youtu.be/Uq4K1N9XttY

The Word Crimes one was amazing. It did have one error: It says "Now here's some notes." That should be "Now here are some notes." One would really think that in that video in particular every little thing would be checked and re-checked.

As I was watching I wondered if they put an error in it.


My favorite was Foil.

So fucking glad this guy is back. Saw him in concert quite a few years ago and honestly it was one of the bet shows I have ever seen, great performer.

I was a huge weird al fan when I was 12. Being 12 years later I will probably not watch it and find better content on the interwebs. It's great for him though

Haha the dude is so damn goofy and he totaly owns it. Whoever said he was corny, DUH! Of course he's corny as fuck, but that's the whole point. He kills it. I remember always jamming out to Albuquerque.

Handy was 10000000x better than Fancy.

I thought foil was pretty funny too.

He's such a sketchy individual I love it. His songs are actually really funny and kinda clever, on top of that they make sense.

first #1 comedy album in 54 years I read

very cool to see this guy getting even more popular with age rather than fading away into obscurity.
it's so retarded but so witty and clever most of the time
