First Time Hearing | Weird Al Yankovic - White & Nerdy (REACTION)

[@raymondperez4447]

The white, nerdy guy dancing is Donnie Osmond. The epitome of white and nerdy.

[@mikefuchs-sb8pv]

classic 😂

[@dennisgreiwe2078]

I think All just told him to dance silly. And that all of those clips were made in one session because Al didn't think he could hope for anything more from anyone and it was too perfect the way it was. That's just being silly and embracing it, knowing you are doing everything right and knowing who to ask for help.

[@cmmeeks18]

Donny was runner up to T-Pain in the first season of The Masked Singer.

[@87engr]

"You just watch your step, McGurke. This place here changes a man." "Yeah? In what way?" "I used to be white. I was the drummer for the Osmonds."

[@jtoland2333]

The paradox is that Donnie embracing his nerdiness makes him 😎 cool

[@brianwagner8291]

Dude has won a Grammy in every decade he's worked. He's probably one of the best musicians this country has produced, and he exclusively does parody and polka.

[@stephenkehl7158]

Not true. Yes, he’s known for his parodies, and yes, he typically includes a medley of popular tunes done as a polka (and a few other styles included as well), but a good bit of his material is original.

[@playfulpanthress]

​@@stephenkehl7158 Exactly!! He has a song, "Trigger Happy" that I believe should be our national anthem.

[@YaelleG]

Saw him last summer and he and the band played their non parody originals. What shocked me was that it was actually such good, solid music on its own. No need for the humor. I was really amazed.

[@gettingkilt]

@@YaelleG Oh, there's humour. All his originals are funny too, just not specifically parodying another song. Most of them do parody the STYLE of a particular artist though, sometimes called a 'pastiche'. "Dog Eat Dog" is a Talking Heads pastiche. Mr. Popeil is the B-52s. Velvet Elvis is The Police, and Biggest Ball of Twine is Harry Chapin.

[@gettingkilt]

@@playfulpanthress Most of his original material is in the style of another well-known artist. "Trigger Happy" is early Beach Boys. "Pancreas" is late Beach Boys.

[@Lorijenken]

if weird Al parodies you , you've made it. that's how legendary this guy is.

Yes, Al is an extremely good rapper. If you're familiar with the musical Hamilton You should check out his Hamilton Polka. He takes the fastest rap from the show, speeds it up, and does it in five part harmony. It's amazing.

[@everyonelovesmajima]

He and MJ are legally co-writers of those songs. That alone is awesome.

[@Snarkerella]

"Weird Al" is the real deal. He's one of the nicest people EVER. He does so much for fans, veterans, active military, children. He's incredible. He's very private, but very connected to his public/fans. His music skills are off the hook! I've seen him live and he just SLAYS.

[@lucasa7162]

Being very private it what makes him a legend. It's a sign of a good artist " I do what it do, I'm good at it. You don't need to know my drama, life outside of my job, how I do what I"

[@Mr_Dancy_Pants]

He's also a rare musician who, despite the decades-long career, fame, and money; hasn't had a single scandal (Amish Paradise doesn't count, Coolio apologized for that one).

[@Dreamline78]

Truth. If he ever got "me too"ed, it would break my heart.

[@thexalon]

I don't think it was Coolio apologizing, so much as they talked it out and became friendly pretty quickly.

[@adamcrnkovich1041]

Basically coolio’s producer gave the “ok” so weird Al’s team assumed that the producer covered all his bases, so it was kind of an apology because coolio thought they didn’t get permission, but it was more coolio’s team who messed up.

[@justinbremer2281]

And after that, Al made it a firm policy to get approval from the artist directly and not just settle for "their people" giving the go-ahead

[@joe6096]

He was single or had low key girlfriends for pretty much most of his life then got married about 23 years ago and had a daughter. They're still married, his daughter is about 20 now. He's never had a drug or alcohol issue, never had a relationship issue with another woman, he loved his parents and was close to them until they died, and he's been a vegetarian for like 30 years. Like Al once said, "I've never done drugs, I've never drank, I've never had to go to rehab, and I've never bought a hooker. So why does VH1 want to do a Behind the Music on me?"

[@stevenschmidt3464]

[@MaskHysteria]

Donny Osmond has some legendary moments poking fun at himself. There's an old Johnny Bravo Christmas Special that he's featured in and his bits are hilarious.

[@nathan3252]

The crazy thing about this song is its sort of a way to measure how nerdy you are. The more references you recognize the more nerdy you are. Some are quite easy ones that most people get but then there are a few that require some serious big brain intelligence.

[@MetaGiga]

@nathan3252 Well, fuck

[@gypsyjengypsydogs9320]

I grew up with Weird Al. He’s so clever and unapologetic. He also does a lot for charity. He’s just an all around good guy.

[@MGower4465]

Weird Al always asks permission to parody anyone, and a couple of artists love his work enough they were in concert and had to concentrate to make sure they sang their own song indtead of his. Donny Osmond as a backup dancer makes this more hilarious as he has always been the singer and he's nerding out as a dancer.

[@onionbubs386]

The best part about that is that he has no obligation to do that. Parody laws are pretty loose, you don't even need the original artist's permission to make a parody of their work for profit. But he's such a kind person, he makes the effort anyway.

[@JMacSD]

@@onionbubs386 Wrong, any money you make off a copy of a copywrited song must be shared with songwriter - unless they give you permission of course. Plenty of cases haven been won by artists claiming another artist ripped off their art because a few notes sound kinda the same.

[@JMacSD]

The Osmonds did plenty of singing and dancing on their TV shows back in the day - Donny's always been a dancer, not at all nerdy, Al said he wanted Donny in this video because he's the Whitest guy Al could think of.

[@ParodyKnaveBob]

​@@JMacSDThere's a huge difference between just taking someone's work because it'll improve your own vs. legally protected Fair Use such as parody.

[@ParodyKnaveBob]

I love that The Presidents of the United States of America changed the last line in their song, "Lump," in concerts to match Weird Al's final line in his parody, "Gump," because they just loved it that much!

[@digibirder]

I always liked "Its All About The Pentiums". Al doesn't just do a parody for fun. He really DOES a song. He puts his whole soul into it, and becomes the protagonist. Never knew anyone to be so serious about being so funny. I've been a fan since "My Bologna" that he played on an accordion in his school bathroom to get the reverb effect.

[@erikhoryza9068]

Something very cool about Weird Al was that he never required licensing to create his music. He would personally sell his pitch, ask for permission, and if they said no, he moved on. Eventually his name was so unbelievably widespread that a cover of his, would make originals pop-off generating original artists' revenue. It was a better time. Creativity is WHO the guy is.

[@ParodyKnaveBob]

​@islandmankWell, no, there were others, but it was generally linked to some particular issue. "Chicken Pot Pie" got a no, for example, because "Live and Let Die"'s original artist was vegetarian-the irony being that Al had turned vegetarian by this time, too, but he just thought it was funny anyway, lol. Eminem strangely gave multiple yeses to album tracks but a no to "Couch Potato"'s video, for another example.

[@mamak2002]

When Michael Jackson found out that Al wanted to do Eat it to parody beat it, he had his choreographer work with Al’s damn era and Al to get all the moves right and he had his team rebuild the beat it set for Al.

In the early 90s he spoke with Kurt Cobain on the phone about doing a parody of "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Cobain wondered if it was gonna be about food. Weird Al said something to the effect that it was gonna be about how no one knows the lyrics to your songs. Other artists have gone on record saying they were honored when approached by Weird Al because that is a sight that you're "made it" as an artist.

Weird Al is so funny! I must say, he could actually be a rapper. He is really good with his lyrical flow! I have been a Weird Al fan for almost 40 years.

[@evabyrum3327]

❤ He does I'm Bad by MJ but he sings I'm Fat. It is HILARIOUS!!!!! ❤

The Star Wars Holiday special isn't a bootleg per se, just impossible to find to the point of having to have someone steal it if you want it. It was a TV special that was never released on VHS or DVD to the public. The only copy ever made on VHS was for and in the possession of Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) and since she died is part of her estate. At the time of making this song and video, she was still alive, so if you wanted to take possession of the one genuine copy of the tape, which would be absolutely top tier nerd cred, you'd have to have someone go steal it from her home.

The two parodies he did of Michael Jackson were Eat It (Beat It) and Fat (Bad)…and they are spot on perfect…and MJ loved them! Michael even helped Al to be able to use the same location for his parody of Bad that HE used!

[@sardarnikaur6258]

Donny Osmond dancing in the background was hilarious.

The Donnie Osmond cameo was hilarious!

Simply put..Weird Al s a GENIUS!!!!!! Been a legend for 30+ years 😎

[@amandalockwood4403]

LEGEND 🙌

[@tgadd9825]

Weird Al is a genius. One of the best concerts I've ever seen.

[@jessicaspecht]

I never knew that Donny Osmond could move that well. LMAO

[@CrochetCrochetJoyJoy]

He always gets permission from the people he parodies. Most people LOVE it. Michael Jackson loved it so much he gave Weird Al free rein to parody any of his songs.

[@Rachniax]

Madonna was the only one that came to him to do a parody of her songs.

[@derekhawkcherokeefire]

Key and Peele with W.A. are true Parody Gangstas 🤘🤘😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✌️

[@peterjackson6011]

One of the funniest things about Weird Al is that no one really has beef with him. It could be because he never does a parody without permission (unless I'm wrong), it could be because he's so likable and friendly. But I'm convinced that it's partially because no one alive wants to be on the business end of his first ever diss track.

[@ParodyKnaveBob]

Almost 100% agreed! Coolio used to have beef with him, but that's all cool(io) now. $:^ ] "One More Minute" he wrote after a true break-up. Only sick love ballad he pointed at a real person. Good thing, too, because "Achy-Breaky Song" and "Smells Like Nirvana" were actually in good fun, but *wow* the disses come *hard!*

[@ParodyKnaveBob]

Oh! Oh! How could I forget "(This Song's Just) Six Words Long"?! Go listen alllll the way through "(My Mind Is) Set On You," and then fire up Al's ripping it a new hole in its head!! Yeesh! Ouch…

[@lesliehatch-herman9325]

Is that Donny Osmond dancing in the background?! 😂

[@kylegood412]

Not very many people know about this but als parents died april 9th 2004 because of carbon monoxide poisoning. 2 years before straight outta lynwood. He could have quit making fire from the gods but bro powered thru. Dudes legit in every direction.

[@danielleferreri4177]

Not ONE of you talking about Donny Osmond back there. Best part!! 😂😂😭😭😭

[@bdonnajpvw]

Donny Osmond as his background dancer was hilarious, if you remember him from back in the day.

[@returntozero.556]

Good stuff right there! Yall should do a reaction video to Anthrax and Public Enemy "Bring the noise" its an awesome metal/hip-hop collaboration. Love your videos my dudes and looking forward to more!

[@GenericGooner]

Weird al is a genius. And this has to be up there as one of his absolute masterpieces in lyrics. As mentioned by others, he is adored in the music industry and if he parodies you it’s like you have truly made it.

[@JackieL0315]

Weird Al's version was Amish Paradise

[@DoLo_XO]

Classic

[@JackieL0315]

@@DoLo_XO yes along with the original og Gangsta's Paradise... RIP Coolio!!! 🕊🙏🏻💙

[@sirboresalot]

I've seen him in concert a few times, he absolutely kills it.

[@mspinksarahbug]

My parents made me take 2 years of accordion lessons. I made this work by secretly imagining myself as weird al Yankovic, female version. 🤣

[@TheLoopy16]

God I wish I had crew of friends to vibe with like this on the regular 😭🤣. That has to be the best part of this content for me ay.

[@RicoBurghFan]

He did MJ's Beat It (Eat It) and Bad (Fat). He's a certified genius.

[@hannabertrand4460]

He's so brilliant and talented that it's become an honor if Weird Al parodies your song.

[@desmawalker556]

Please do his version of Nirvana's SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT & his James Brown parody LIVING WITH A HERNIA. 😀

[@jasonstamwitz6928]

Hardware Store, Word Crimes. Great to see you guys check Al out.

[@randomaccountmadeyup]

Should do the Weird Al parody interview with Eminem.

[@Jaserocks2]

Know what I mean?

[@voodoom5880]

Weird Al is one of the most diverse and talented musicians we have in the world today no one else could impersonate all those genre's

[@CgNtech16]

Video starts at 2:04

[@amandathibodeau4996]

Al is great! Donny Osmond is the guy dancing off to the side in the scenes where AL is dressed 'tough'.

[@Uncultured_Barbarian465]

Weird Al is a national treasure. A nice guy, very talented and intelligent.

[@t.y.5565]

One of my fav Weird Al videos because Donny Osmond is his back up dancer!
