What's Up with Weird Al?

[ngman7]

I think he's one of the greatest parody artists EVER. I remember his work from the early '80s and on. I wonder in 10 or 20 years from now are people still going to remember him?

What's up with him? He hasn't been the media eye lately-I'm wondering what parodies is he working on now? He used to be bigger in the '80s and '90s-what happened?

What happened to Duran Duran? People just stopped listening. Although, I don't think we've seen the last of Mr. Yankovic.

It's not like he hasn't fallen off the radar only to come back a decade later big as ever before. He'll be back.

WITH WEAPONS.

He mainly is probably having a hard time making music, since he usually makes parodies of newer songs, and seeing how all the new songs is dance/pop/wanna be rap.. You can't even understand half of them anyways, so he figures, everyone can laugh at them, and he don't have to waist his time.

[Master117chief]

He usually makes parodies of the most popular songs.

His last best singles IMO were Couch Potato and White and Nerdy.

[Cybersief]

He was hilarious back in my elementary/middle school days, now he's sort of just dead.

He also writes a lot of his own stuff. I think these days he's doing a lot of stuff for websites.

[VinnyXY]

Lol! I love his parodies with other people's songs!

[Sweeper128]

He has released a new song this week, Craigslist.

Would link but tired.

[Slinging-Blood]

Weird Al actually died recently from mouth cancer, his doctor said he sucked too much cock.

[LDAF]

It's a parody, but it's horrible for Weird Al's standards. It's dissapointing.

He just came out with Craigslist and the last song before that was Whatever You Like.

From wikipedia:

Yankovic married Suzanne Krajewski on February 10, 2001. Their daughter, Nina, was born February 11, 2003. They also have a pet cockatiel named Bo Veaner.[6] They used to have a pet poodle, Bela (pictured atop Yankovic's head on the cover of his album, Poodle Hat). Despite songs such as "Pretty Fly for a Rabbi", his frequent use of "Oy vey" and other Yiddish phrases, Yankovic is not of Jewish ancestry, and identifies himself as a Christian.[citation needed]

He's a happily married man. He's not gay.

[gizmo12345]

he's awful

just....awful!

[mariomusicmaker1]

ill bet he dose a song based off of poker face and or hot & cold, those songs would fit his style very well.

Just the other day I was wondering aloud "what ever happened to Weird Al" myself. Every so often he makes a "comeback," has a bit of time back in the spotlight but then vanishes again. I suppose he's been keeping busy with cameos here and there, plus he still has his legions of loyal fans who come to shows no matter how long it's been since the last album dropped.

I guess the reason he hasn't made anything recently is because there are no good radio hits worth parodying these days. Music over the last 5 to 10 years has really been horrible, not to mention "hit songs" nowadays last about 4 weeks. They come and go like flavor of the month fads, and the average pop-listener's attention span can only be measured in nanoseconds, so by the time he got to recording a spoof the original song would be long forgotten and stale. Besides, I couldn't imagine a Weird Al cover of some shit by Amy Winehouse or Lady Gaga. It must be pretty hard to come up with lyrics paralleling "Fergalicious."

At least Weird Al should get some face time in front of a camera at Michael Jackson's funeral in a few days.

[rome-lherison]

Weird Al resales albums like every 5 years. Calm down

It is-in the style of The Doors.

I meant it's an original song done in the style of The Doors.

I'm pretty sure ngman7 has some kind of fucked up gay crush on Weird Al.
