Great post ! weird al is just being his trademark self - it’s what’s he’s known for . If it was a somber event yeah it’s over the top but it’s a fun event and glad the ama gave this group some time … very nice video! Love the entire group up here Dick cantino did need a bigger intro

Thanks Romeo ... I happened to speak to Dick about 2 weeks after this TV appearance. He said ... " Hey, I played the American Music Awards " ... and I said ... "WHAT, are you kidding ? I can't believe I missed it !! " I didn't have a gig that night and I was actually in my practice room working on new numbers while my beloved friend was kicking ass on Network TV ! After all these years, I'm seeing what I missed ! Thanks ... SJ

This video is so great I’ll forgive the overly snobby description (you’re not too good for Weird Al. Sorry dude. Everyone loves Weird Al).

Drew Carey Thinks He Can Play an Accordion Not so well But on his TV show they play instrumental music of a Accordion sounds like that he loves playing accordion that’s his favorite instrument of all times even a trumpet

Anyone know who the squeezers were, other than Weird Al and (my late hero) Dick Contino?

Drew Carey hosted It

I completely lost it when after all that, the whitest-white-guy-voice ever introduces the Wu-Tang.... Thank You

It's Daddy-O! I would've rather heard him sing "Rock Candy", aka "The High Pants Song".
