Yup. Weird Al actually got permission from every singer he parodied. :)

[@aprilgallimore9636]

Michael was a fan and helped write it. It’s also the original set.

[@maurer3d]

Jackson was not involved in writing the parody. Al writes all the parodies himself from ideas he came up with, with one exception "Like a Surgeon" which Maddonna actually suggested to him.

[@RareHarmony]

@@maurer3d ALTHOUGH, according to Weird Al himself, "There is a document, there is a legal contract, with my signature next to Michael Jackson's signature, saying that we are the Co-Writers of 'Eat It.'" kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3-3dZShntWbhpY

[@ahritheweird9579]

Michael didnt help write "fat", but he loved what Weird Al did so much he paid for the music videos of his MJ parodies, got the same costumes for Al, and the original sets too.

[@deadflight84]

I didn't know this

[@omni42]

The only song Jackson said was off limits was Black or White, as he wanted to keep that message's importance. But for everything else, he was super supportive.

[@andreawalter9212]

Michael Jackson loved Weird Al and allowed him to do this! You should check out "Living with a Hernia" by Weird Al; it's a parody of James Brown's "Living in America." Weird Al is comedy gold to me.

[@Leftylobber]

Thats probably his best "performance" ever.

[@mgunter]

JB helped him get the same set, dancers, and band. He even gave Al dancing tips.

[@mitchhaelann9215]

Dare to be Stupid, or Christmas at Ground Zero.

[@MiriOhki]

Heck, the only time Mike turned him down was over his parody of Black or White, and only because he didn’t want the original message blurred.

[@markcainyourfriendinthecar3387]

Weird Al and Michael had an almost symbiotic relationship. You almost couldn't have had one without the other. Weird Al was the Guage you could use to tell if you had really made it in the music industry.

[@Trampus002]

That’s true. If he did a parody of your video or song…..you were hot!!!

Well.. when Michael Jackson had his album called "Bad", Weird Al naturally had to parody it and call it "Even Worse". :)

[@leonardsmalls6350]

That was actually two jokes. The other joke was that his previous album didn't do very well. So this one was Even Worse.

[@JackXombi]

Even his originals are often stand alone classics in the styles he's parodying, Me personal fave is Trigger Happy, but Dare to be Stupid was 'More Devo than Devo' paraphrasing a dude from Devo.

[@MrDarkwing78]

Not everybody. He always get's permission to use peoples music, obviously, but also their blessings, so I've heard. That's the reason Weird Al never did a Prince spoof, Prince wouldn't allow his music to be spoofed. The fact that Weird Al did so many Michael Jackson is a both a testiment to the prolific nature of his music, and MJ's appreciation for Weird Al's work.

[@MrDarkwing78]

@@JackXombi I actually love his polka medleys more, though I still remember the first time I heard "Dare to be stupid", in "Transformers: The Movie" where Al also voiced the junkbots (I'm going to guess you're well aware of this, but others may not be! lol!)

Brother you've gotta do "White and Nerdy" "Amish Paradise" "Smells like Nirvana" and "Trapped in the Drive Thru" by weird al! The thing I love most about Als music is the artists that he parodies give him full permission to do so first and every single person has loved his parodies of their songs. Kurt Cobain of Nirvana once said "You know you've hit the big times when Weird Al wants to parody you"

[@opalviking]

It took Coolio YEARS to accept it. He _HATED_ Amish Paradise for a long time.

[@antoinettelopes]

@@opalviking I think the record company gave permission and Al didn't know they didn't ask him.

[@klaptongroovemaster]

White and Nerdy is possibly his best work. I've been a fan since the Dr. Dimento days, and saw his breakout hit "Another One Rides the Bus" on local TV in Seattle with just an accordion when I was kid. Smells Like Nirvana would be a great one, since he saw the original a week or two ago.

The weird Al rabbit hole is deep. He is one of only a few artists to win a Grammy in four different decades. I saw him about ten years ago and he still performs "Fat" with the whole fat suit. One suggestion though--if the Weird Al you want to review is a parody of a pop hit, watch the pop hit first and then watch Al's parody. He also has a large collection of great original songs (One More Minute and You Don't Love Me anymore are great songs about one-sided love).
