Dude these kill me! | “Weird Al”- Word Crimes | Damn English Class 😂 REACTION

[@magepunk7711]

I think the "Irony is not coincidence" line is a dig on Alanis Morissette with the raining on the wedding day.

[@bdhale34]

The real irony was the complete lack of irony in the song named Ironic.

[@bemasaberwyn55]

The man has made a career over the last 40 years of being able to make some of the best parodies in the business. Not only is he an incredible lyricist but the man is a borderline genius when it comes to his skills at being able to mimic musical styles as he has in his incredible career. And as amazing as all of his parodies are his original stuff and his covers are by far some of the best things he's ever done

[@antoinesandoval]

It goes without saying that not only did Weird Al define musical parody he is the undisputed champion of this genre, so much so no one attempts to replicate or offer competition to his genius. No one. This mountain he built himself.

[@goatkiller666]

I imagine it’’s relatively easy to form a rock band, and yet not sound like Nirvana. Or the Beetles. Much harder to do musical comedy and not sound like “Weird” Al. That said, check out Tim Minchin’s “Rock and Roll Nerd”, “Storm”, and “Three Minute Song”. And the Axis of Awesome’s “Four Chord Song.” There’s even an episode of South Park, when one of them realizes that every joke they’ve tried, the Simpsons did it better, years ago.

[@sophiet1576]

It's too bad you only react to Weird Al songs that you get a lot of comments on, because Al posted a live concert video of himself performing his original song, Germs. The reason I'd love to see you react to it is because you'd get to see what an amazing performer he is, plus you'd hear what an incredible song writer he is. People focus on his parodies and totally miss what a musical genius he is. Kurt Cobain knew, and wrote in his journal that Weird Al was a genius.

[@cainealexander-mccord2805]

My late husband got me the Weird Al live DVD for my bday some years back. We watched it over and over. We're headbangers and he never failed to mention not only Al's performance, but he never lost sight of Al having a seriously excellent band. Those guys are like a jukebox.

[@LadyDragonborn]

Germs is a GREAT suggestion!

[@gregsteele806]

"Germs" is a 9 Inch Nails style parody. Like "Dare to be Stupid" is a Devo style parody.

[@snorpenbass4196]

[@gregsteele806]

@@snorpenbass4196 I never meant to claim that they weren’t original. They are a very specific sub genres of Al’s catalog though. “Mission Statement” being another wonderful example.

[@radwolf76]

I think my favorite part of the music video is the fact that the animator took the opportunity to throw some shade at Alanis Morissette during Al's explanation what is and isn't irony. Al may or may have not had the Canadian singer's notorious song in mind when he penned those lyrics, but when the animator put rain on your wedding day on the Not Irony side, it was shots fired. And since I doubt anyone has requested this one yet, I'm going to suggest Harvey the Wonder Hamster. Out of Weird Al's catalog, this may be the one you can listen to without crying because it's too short to get the tear ducts flowing. Maybe you could do it as a double feature reaction with Mr. Frump in the Iron Lung, which is another short Al original that goes way back to his early days.

[@LadyDragonborn]

OMG I love that you did Word Crimes!! There is so much subtlety in this one. Like hiring a “cunning- linguist”. The more you listen to it, the more you catch something new. That’s what makes Word Crimes so great. The Saga Begins and Foil have to be next, then Trapped In the Drive Thru! You just can’t go wrong with Weird Al!

One of Al's best parodies. This is also extremely on-brand for him. He's been known to tweet about signs that say "10 items or less" instead of "10 items or fewer", etc. This video might also be the perfect one to make one small nitpick: you're pronouncing Al's last name as "Yank-o-vitcH," but it's actually pronounced "Yank-o-vicK". Aside from that, I'm really glad you're enjoying these. I've listened to this song a bunch and I never picked up the little "psych!" in the background. Good ears!

That's a loss for the Prince estate... Al should do a free one....

[@toddc3988]

Prince was the main reason he started doing polka song collages. He did it to make fun of Prince songs without encroaching on any copyrights. So long as he shows who wrote the lyrics he could poke fun at about a dozen different songs at once

[@ddraiss]

Technically Weird Al does not need permission to do a parody. Parodies fall under fair use as far as copyright laws go. Al asked for permission out of respect.

[@feldegast]

@@ddraiss not a lawyer but I believe that is what the law says at least in the USA

[@petervenkman69]

@@ddraiss That is very true, which is why the song "your pitiful" was never monetized, as I understand it permission was given for it to be on the "Straight out of Linwood" album, but the permission was withdrawn to release it after the video was already shot, so the video was released unmonetized. He felt that while he did not have approval, he still had the right to release it, particularly as the video had been done, he just felt it would be wrong (opinion not law) to make money off it still. There were other famous songs that were refused one of the most famous was Paul McCartney's "live and let die" which Al wanted to do as "Chicken Pot Pie" - McCartney being a vegetarian didn't approve. Ironically Al himself is now actually Vegetarian himself, in fact eats mostly a vegan diet.

Fun fact, Weird Al didn't know "Spastic" was a slur in some countries, so he omits that line when he does it live nowadays. For education purposes, In the UK and UK areas, "Spastic" was used in the 1950s by mean children as a Nickname for someone with Cerebral palsy. It is a word that evolved completely differently in the US, coming to mean "Quick to do without thinking, or Crazy and unorganized" For example, if you were to write a Blog post, and it wasn't very fantastic, you would probably write like a "Spastic"

This song reminds me of a video that Weird Al did for his personal channel about a decad ago. It was titled, "Weird Al teaches grammar." He videoed himself walking up to the "10 items or less" lane in a grocery store and putting a piece or tape over the word "less" and replacing it with "fewer". He then turns to the camera and simply says, "Grammar people." and walks away.

[@PickleAndy]

Weird Al did radio in college while he earned an Architectural degree. He played the accordion as a kid and submitted his song My Bologna (My Sharona) to the Dr Demento radio show. It was made in 1979 and Al became a much played regular on that silly show. There are tons of his parodies to check out.
