First Time Hearing Weird Al Yankovic - Tacky Reaction

[@josephdipietro8864]

[@GiselleMF]

It certainly tracks for Jack Black...

[@lolflashlight1010]

Fun fact! Weird Al DOES NOT NEED permission to do these songs, but he asked to be polite. Its a shame when he makes a song better then the original that talked about possible rape. The OG song had topics of rape in it, Al made it all funny and took that element out of it. Be mad if you want but your wrong lol

[@Gulicktheemu]

The music video for "Tacky" debuted on July 14, 2014, as the first in an eight-video series. Produced by Nerdist Industries, the one-shot video mimics Williams' own style used in his video for "Happy": It features comedians, Aisha Tyler, Margaret Cho, Eric Stonestreet, Kristen Schaal and Jack Black with Weird Al Yankovic dressed in tacky clothes and dancing purposely poorly while lip-sync-hing to the song's lyrics about a person who brags on about his questionable style choices. The video was filmed at Palace Theatre in downtown Los Angeles, previously featured as Julianne Moore's apartment in the 1998 film The Big Lebowski. Yankovic specified that during each of the six continuous takes, he would have to rush down five flights of stairs while changing his outfit in order to appear in the beginning and end of the video.

[@adamgreyskul678]

You are correct, he had part of 2 days available, but not all of one day. That's also part of the reason it's one continuous shot, it was the fastest way they could do it as opposed to the normal sets, props, and multiple shots.

[@soulcorupter9048]

I've seen him live 3 times. The most recent time he opened with this song. He was outside behind the building and he had a camera broadcasting live as he walked in. Singing this song and in costume. The audience kept looking at the camera video and each entrance trying to figure out which entrance he was at. He is amazing live. Constant outfit changes. Came out dressed appropriately for Amish Paradise

I've seen Al perform this in concert. He starts outside the venue on the street and sings as he walks through the theater and comes in the theater and sings down the aisle through the crowd to the stage. Everybody goes nuts!!! It's the best entrance I've ever seen anyone make at a concert. He's followed by a camera man who films him until he enters the theater and we watched him on a big screen while his band plays on stage. Al is a creative genius!!! Al patched together a bunch of these entrances and made two videos of all the different states and cities where he did this. It's amazing to see.

"Produced by Nerdist Industries, the one-shot video shows Yankovic mimicking Williams' own style used in his video for "Happy": It features comedians including Aisha Tyler, Margaret Cho, Eric Stonestreet, Kristen Schaal, Jack Black " Black is obviously the most famous but they've all had careers and I guess it's pretty easy for Yankovic to convince you to star in one of his videos.

From what I've heard, these days, Al just needs to get around a celebrity management team and just ask, the response is usually an immediate "YES!"

[@vampg8r]

In the mid-1800s when photography was a new thing, they used to take pictures of the deceased in different poses so they would have a remembrance of the person. Granted the selfie craze happening now probably isn't being done with the same respect that the original death pictures were.

[@Buzzywhumpa]

Exposure times were extremely long back then. A dead person's nature of being stationary makes them a perfect subject matter because any movement would blur on the exposure. Dead people made lively images. It was the living that appeared as though they were ghosts.

Saw Weird Al in concert, and he opened with this song. They showed him dancing to the stage on the big screen while acting it out.

[@thepocketducks3148]

In a sense, this entire video was built around Jack Black. Al wanted Jack to be a part of it because he knew Jack would "kill it" with his performance. Jack was filming a movie at the time and had only one day free, so they scheduled the video shoot for that one day. The other stars were cast simply because Al went through his contacts list and hired the first four who were also available on that same day :)

[@Wyrdwad]

A somewhat lesser-known Weird Al song I highly recommend checking out sometime is "Dog Eat Dog," which is one of his rarer overall band parodies, as opposed to a specific song parody -- it's a spoof of the general style and sound of Talking Heads. And it is BRILLIANT -- he seriously channels David Byrne perfectly.

When this song was still fairly new on his tours if you went to see him in concert this would be the opening song and he would actually open with it by there be a video screen on stage and suddenly you'd see him singing in his song and walking along and what it was was he would be somewhere some distance outside away from the venue walking towards the venue and the camera would follow him and he would sing the song until he got to the venue and you would see him walk through the backstage area and then eventually at the same time as you were still seeing him on the camera on the screen you would start to see him walking down through the audience towards the stage. He would wind up completing the song on stage.

[@ChakaalStarr]

I watched a few different of your weird al reaction videos. As you noted in one of these, there is a lot of little details, so one could watch them multiple times and not catch everything. Among those details, there is a lot of celebrities that you can miss if you aren't paying attention or aren't familiar with them. You noticed key and peele in white and nerdy, but Donny Osmond(dancing behind him) and Seth Green(by the action figures) were also in that video for example.

I didn't know Kristen Schaal was in the Tacky video! Jack Black I did remember. This video was so great.

[@dslewinski]

They are all stars…. Lol. Aisha Tyler, Margaret Cho, Eric Stonestreet, Kristen Shaal, and Jack Black. Love this video❤️💕❤️

[@princessakhana]

I love how the whole video is one long shot, no cuts.

[@allenparedes3964]

I loved how basically all the celebrities in the video are some of Hollywood's most lovable nerds, dorks and weirdos.

This is my first time hearing this song as well and wow it's a great one! I also appreciate the single shot I think its a nod to the Happy music video doing the same thing, thanks I love these Weird reactions

[@transcendantviewer]

It's hard to find, bu I absolutely love Weird Al's "When I Was Your Age".

[@Hobiexoxo]

Great tune. It’s readily accessible on Spotify.

In order: 1. Aisha Tyler (Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Criminal Minds, Archer) 2. Margaret Cho (stand-up comedienne) 3. Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family) 4. Kristen Schaal (Bob's Burgers, too many to mention) 5. Jack Black (obviously known to you)

Amazed that he was able to get down to the ground floor, across the theater and out to the stage door entrance, all while changing his outfit - *including* his shoes - in just *TWO* minutes. And he had to do this several times.

All famous. No worries. Awesome reaction.

[@kateboarman8674]

All of the polka medleys are wonderful, he did a new one that I just found today based on Hamilton! And I also love his original tune Albuquerque.

[@elijahthrossell481]

Awesome reactions man keep it up I love seen your reaction to weird al. For your next reaction do weird al headline news. Keep up the great work

"Just eat it", you said. Quite appropriate for the artist.

Jack Black is a good friend to Al. Al asked him if would like to be in this music video Tacky. Jack was out in New York firming a t.v. show or movie, something like that and told Weird Al he could only do it on a certain day, that he had off from filming. Weird Al said great! They filmed this video on the one day that Jack had off. Jack flew back to California and filmed the Tacky video. He then got back on the plane and flew back to New York! What a great friend! True story!

Besides “White and Nerdy,” I love his “Confessions pt.3,” a cover song by Usher. There’s no video for it but there are a few audio videos of it on KZbin.

Back ages ago, they use to have portraits taken post mortem, families often couldn't afford photographs often so many times children's photo shot after death, or family photos done.
