Micheal Jackson loved what Weird Al did and gave him the ok to use the music.

He did more than give the ok, MJ actually helped in the videos, who do you think taught weird al the dance moves?

[@vlonewolfv]

@@jamesallen5591 Yeah, MJ let him use the set. He also stated that Weird Al could parody any of his songs in perpetuity. There is a great doc out there where Weird Al talks about almost doing another MJ parody when Dangerous released. But he didn't want to rely on one artist too much. Luckily Nirvana came along. haha

Al not only made a career off of parodying major artists they often helped him do it. Michael was a big fan of Al, he even let all use the same sets and Al appeares in Michaels video for "liberian Girl" Mark Knophler of Dire Straits played on Al's parody of Money for Nothing called Beverly Hillbillies. Dave Grol famously said he knew Nirvana made it when Al Parodied them.

[@RyanRichardsToby]

I love how Al is popular now, but I was a nerd for buying his stuff on cassettes back in the 80's.

[@lornehulett7702]

FYI...For Eat It Al hired most if not all the same dancers that Michael Jackson used for the video for Beat It. Al also hired the same cheerleaders for Smells Like Nirvana, Al's parody of Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana.

[@michaelpetersen2635]

The man has serious talent, if you dive down this rabbit hole it like having a surprise party. His lyrics and flow are great and you'll notice his last CD hit #1. Not bad for a guy who's been doing this stuff on this level since the 80's.

If you think this is funny, react to Weird Al's "Amish Paradise" (Parody on Coolio) and "White and Nerdy" (Parody on Chamillionaire and Krayzie Bone).

[@Leon-wz1js]

critical to watching a parody is being familiar with the original song, naturally.

[@mhlevy]

The video "Fat" is a take-off of "Bad" by Michael Jackson. MJ was a huge fan of Weird Al (I started listening to him in the mid-1970s) and even offered Weird Al to film on the set of, and using the same props of "Bad."

[@Leon-wz1js]

I believe he also got the original background dancers to dance in his parodies (when it came to "eat it"). Supposedly, MJ was such a fan, he even helped add background vocals to Weird Al's parodies of MJ's songs.

[@raveousone]

@@Leon-wz1js yeah some of the dancers in eat it where the same dancers from beat it and michael jackson is officially a co-writer for eat it

[@WaynesWorldMN]

Michael Jackson was so impressed with Weird Al's videos that in both "Eat it" & "Fat", not only did Michael give Weird Al permission (Which Wierd Al received from ALL the Artist he spoofed),... Michael let Al use the SAME sets they used on Michael's videos and Micheal help Al in putting the video together!!

He is the king and still making parodies today. I forget who said it but someone famous said "you know you've made it and are succesful as an artist when Weird Al parodies your song" He's a genius. Some of his songs I legitimately cant listen to the originals because his parodies are so good. And he can do any ANY genre. A truley talented man.

Always great to watch someone lose their Weird Al virginity. There's a lot of great suggestions in the comments already. I'm going to add in 'Dare To Be Stupid', 'UHF' and 'Tacky'. Also Albuquerque if you want to see one of his long-form original songs. I also recommend you watch one of his Polka Medleys. I suggest Polka Face, but Hamilton Polka is also great.

[@mikeking7710]

Also, he even used some of the same dancers that were in Michael Jackson's "Beat It" video, and Jackson some percentage of royalties as well, due to the similarity. Later, when he parodied "Bad", he got permission from Jackson to use his original subway station sets to make "Fat". You gotta see that one too.

[@mikeking7710]

Yup, this is Weird Al's thing, spoofing, and parodying other people's music, but he does it so well that most of the time other artist enjoy his work. One of the few times that another artist took exception with his handiwork was Coolio, when Weird Al did "Amish Paridise", a parody of "Gangsta's Paradise", which itself was a reworking of Stevie Wonder's "Pastime Paradise" from Songs in the Key of Life. But Coolio later reversed himself, and said that he really shouldn't have gotten as upset about it as he did. My favorite Weird Al song though, is "Bohemian Polka", an amazing parody of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody".
