[@newboygaming7984]

[@yhctower]

Love his live performance of "Yoda" which is his parody of "Lola" by the Kinks. That would be a fun one for you to react to

[@BelfastManUtdTherapy]

Ah I needed this!! Glad this popped up on my youtube feed!!

[@fatcole1152]

The side by side comparison between Weird Al's parody and MJ's original music video is as funny as it is impressive

[@Hubris2]

The video was lovingly recreated nearly frame by frame. He didn't just do something similar, he did a very faithful version.

[@DK-zd1fx]

After Weird Al did FAT, Michael Jackson loved Weird Als parody he encouraged Weird to do Eat it

[@warre1]

​@@DK-zd1fx Wrong. Since this came out in 1984 and Fat in 1988

[@Timmayytoo]

The gang member in the white jacket was the choreographer in the original Beat It video which is one of the reasons why this feels to accurate to the original video.

[@Boa_Omega]

MJ insisted Weird Al do the parody on condition that he had input on the video.

[@Sarah_Gravydog316]

Michael Jackson called his backup dancers & asked them if they wanted to be in this & Fat

[@LibrarianMichael]

Al is a genius! He can sing any genre and the way he his lyrics line up with the original music is amazing.

[@jwolfe01234]

Weird Al has said that the way he got his goofy dance move was just genuinely trying to dance like Michael Jackson. Some things were exaggerated for effect, but it's mostly just Weird Al demonstrating how great Jackson really was. I've seen several reaction videos to "Eat It", both from professional musicians and from everyday people. Beth is the first person I've seen who recognized the Thriller reference at the end. Well done. One of the great things about Weird Al's videos is all the Easter Eggs he throws in.

[@fnjesusfreak]

The "Thriller" eyes seem to be a thing, because Alien Ant Farm did it too.

[@ivorb8835]

In Australia , Michael Jackson's "Beat It" reached Number 2 on the National charts. Kept from Number 1 by Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse Of The Heart". In 1984, Weird Al's "Eat It" reached Number 1 for 1 week in 1984. Aussies love a novelty song.

[@treetopjones737]

First heard Al decades ago on Doctor Demento's show.

[@PChazman1]

Yes! Every Sunday night! Great times. 😂😂😂

[@Daehawk]

Been a fan since I was a teen in the 80s. Al's covers were always great to us in the 80s.

[@olddog330]

The next logical WA vid is "Fat" ("Bad"). Hilarious.

[@Boa_Omega]

from the album Even Worse. nice double meaning there.

[@cixelsyd40]

Weird Al's original songs are just as good as his parodies. Definitely check them out sometime. Also MJ loved Al's parodies of his songs and gave him access to all sorts of things like sets and people who where part of the original music video.

[@peterdobos1606]

That montage of "Beth does Michael Jackson" is gold.

[@ILikeBirds80]

Yay. The first song I heard from Weird Al. Such a clever guy.

[@ommadawn8434]

This was Al's first big song, put him on the map and led him to where he is today. The MASTER.

[@joanna8967]

Things are a bit tough here in the US and I'm checking out Weird AL to keep my spirits up. I was so happy to see your reaction video. AL's so smart and so dedicated to detail, that he creates these perfect parodies, matching the rhythms and rhyme schemes so well that they're masterpieces. Good call posting this, I bet a lot of people are checking out Weird AL during these difficult times.

[@alanjhargreaves]

Similarly, Bad made #3 and Fat made #1.

[@petervenkman69]

​​This was my introduction to Weird Al when it first came out, I have been a fan ever since, over 40 years of being a fan here.

[@davetoms1]

Weird Al is a gift to this world

[@miller-joel]

His genius can't be duplicated.

[@russelljohnson4527]

A bloke called Richard Cheese does some pretty impressive things with pop songs (Baby Got Back, Down With The Sickness) and is worth a listen. Weird Al's WORD CRIMES is perfect. Chef's Kiss!!!

[@Truth65300]

Lounge against the machine is just pure gold!

[@frakte]

That “Oh, Lord” at the end gets me every time. 😅

[@blindleader42]

That's "Oh, Lard." Get it?

[@normlee6566]

The alien looking through the window was a jab at Jackson who some would joke was an alien because he was so odd. Years later, Jackson appeared in Men in Black II portraying an agent lobbying to become a part of the Men In Black. And Weird Al not only did a parody of the song, but his parody is actually more hilarious. It's also clever as it mimics so many elements of the original video. He did the same with Jackson's song, "Bad," which he retitled, "Fat."

[@fladder1]

You think this is impressive, until you see them perform live. Al and his band and sound tech are something else.

[@christopherglass4694]

Hardware store ,trapped in the drive tru

[@Agg1E91]

I have seen that video since it was released and I still occasionally notice little things I had not noticed previously. This time I realized that the one crew just couldn't really get it together. They had to wait and wait for the bus, they weren't even in one of the shots (almost like the actors, themselves, were late) and then this time I realized that they also could only get the rolling door up about 3-4' whereas the other crew strode in confidently. This is the other "leg" of Al's genius. The musical genius was always there but the video genius really ramped up by the mid-late 80s. Watch "Another One Ride The Bus" then this video, then "Fat", then "White And Nerdy", or "Perform This Way". The improvement each time is stunning.

[@PinnaclePete]

If you draw a caricature of somebody, you exaggerate their features. That's what Weird Al does here.

[@Malmstrom87]

I'd love to see your reaction and analysis of Bury The Light. 😁

[@aaschmit]

I have been writing poetry since I was 12 because I tried my own parodies like Weird Al, and found that I liked writing how I was feeling instead or writing from observations. Started there and I still write poetry and I still love Weird Al. Thank you for the video, Beth!

[@oscararzate7956]

Un vídeo de comedia exelente por el cantante estuvo divertido bien Beth 👏👏🍀🍀 se vé muy linda señorita Beth ❤

[@DC_Prox]

The fart sounds aren't from a sound effects library, they're done by squeezing hands together, as performed by "Musical Mike", who can briefly be seen doing his thing in the video for "I Love Rocky Road".

[@raycewilliams3300]

The set and the other characters look just like the original. I think I read that they are one and the same. Weird Al is a national treasure and truly.... One of a Kind. Great reaction. Take care...

[@jmkqfnvyl87]

There’s also some interesting “psychology of funny” behind the reason he pushes the tempo a bit in each of his parodies. Real genius

[@gregweatherup9596]

The “scary eyes” was a reference to the thriller music video.

[@Sancho_Retablez]

This is a masterpiece.

[@garysmith3037]

Weird Al definitely brings out your more playful side. You get to analyze his vocals as well as laugh at the creative silliness. With all the different styles he's done over the decades, you have plenty to keep you going for a long while and still be amazed..

[@morgananderson9647]

@Bethroars- I love your videos! Thanks for reviewing this one! I hope you review some more of Weird Al's songs. They are so brilliant! Also would love to see you, Elizabeth Zharoff, Julia Nylon, all together on one video. That would be a great Red Head Voice Tripple Threat! All the best, M-

[@vdimasteremeritus]

Michael Jackson loved the idea of weird al using his music and dance moves. He gave his permission to use the exact same sets, costumes, and dance moves.

[@dougel4709]

How fun!!!! Thank you, Beth!

[@3DJapan]

3:00 One detail he missed. He has pool tables here. The original video had Carom tables, which are like pool tables with no holes.

[@bobbyquinting3918]

Mikey Jackson actually suggested dancers for Weird Al's parodies and some of the dancers were dancers from Mikey's original videos!

[@seanharrigan6365]

It's all about the Pentiums. It should be your next choice for your Weird Al journey.

[@nicholasferrara7299]

Most of the dancers are the original dancers in MJ’s video! Al is the real deal!

[@carolmartin4413]

Love this guy! ❤

[@-mrws-]

3:25 this way: The *_"Riddikulus"_* spell is used to turn something/someone into an object of *ridicule* The *_"Riddorkulus"_* spell is used to turn something/someone into an object of *ridorkule*

[@incogneato790]

Every line of this song is something my mom said to me at one time or another.

[@carlop.7182]

feel free to watch more of Weird Al, he was awesome back in the 80's. made me laugh so much while watching MTV. to truly appreciate what he does, watch the official video from the original artist, then Weird Al's version, the parody is for the lyrics as well as the video.

[@55montypython]

Van Halen played the solo on The original

[@12floz67]

And Rick Derringer played this solo.🍻

[@Shadowace724]

What is wrong with SPAM? It is pork shoulder and nothing elso, despite rumors to the contrary. :) Weird Al is a genius and you can never go wrong with his music. fun reaction!

[@ireallyreallyhategoogle]

Nothing else? Isn't there like a ton of salt in Spam?

[@norbertzillatron3456]

He also captures Frank Zappa voice (Genius In France) and even Madonna (Like A Surgeon). Less known is his style parody of Bob Dylan (Bob) with truly amazing lyrics, that actually make sense, once you found how. Insane vocal artistry is in "Hardware Store".

[@adrianmontelongo9707]

Beth I love this funny video eat it besides weird al pardon

[@ginadavis5187]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 e grazie mille per la traduzione

[@curtisharrison424]

That is also the actual music video set that MJ had built for the Beat It video.

[@AlejandroDiazadiaz201]

Weird Al is a genius. Seriously.

[@mayLibertyprevail1a]

Literally!

[@NondescriptMammal]

Definitely the Beat It official video should be viewed first, if you want to fully appreciate the humor of this parody 😺

[@myopicautisticmetal9035]

I literally just finished a Banana as he sang it!

[@zeorihuela5460]

Hahaha, always loved him, Thanks a lot, Beth, have a beautiful 2025... In Mexico city weather is great, you should visit. Bless you!

[@michaelschroeck2254]

Weird Al also makes fantastic original songs, not just parodies of other artists music . Some of his songs sound like a particular stile or band or singer but are not “rip offs” of any established song by that band. Example : the sing Mr Popiel from In 3D album is a riff of the kind of song the B-52’s woyld sing but not a port of any of their actual songs. And he also did total Original songs that he just ….. did. Christmas at ground zero And biggest ball of twine in Minnesota ate two of my favorites .

[@josemontes4470]

Hi Beth good day excelente como siempre

[@dw7704]

This song has the funniest guitar solo ever. Not only does Al send things up lyrically, and visually in the video. But Rick Derringer send up Eddie Van Halen in the solo (although that isn’t Derringer in the video)

[@Leticiacarazzo]

You need to react to "jovem Dionísio- pontos de exclamação " I think you will love it

[@P-M-869]

I recommend Junior Brown - Venom Wear'n Demium

[@dedcowbowee]

"Tommy The Cat" by Primus is good.

[@MultiRiano]

I would like to see a reaction with Afrodite Child please. I guess It'll be amazing.

[@redthorpe]

Michael Jackson actually loved Weird Al - I can't remember if it's this one or "Fat" that Michael asked Al to do, but Michael was a huge Weird Al fan

[@davidcreager1945]

You should check out a band called the Electric Amish ! Laugh out loud funny !!!! Their song No more Menanite Guy is hilarious 😂

[@irktog5175]

Comedic song recommendation; Fish Heads by Barnes & Barnes.

[@Seven50ml]

Weird Al is a national treasure. Always makes me smile

[@oscararzate7956]

⏲️ esperaré ❤👏👏🍀🍀

[@avidvideo]

I'd love to get your take on Weird Al's song "Jurassic Park"

[@AluisioNeves]

Hello Beth, could you please do an analysis of Sergio Mendes' wife, Gracinha Leporace? There are two songs I would like to suggest: Rio de Janeiro, on Sergio Mendes' youtube channel, and Gracinha Leporace - Lua Soberana, by Ivan Lins. ... there is also a version of Fool on the Hill, by The Beatles. Thank you for your work in favor of music. There is also the extraordinary LENY ANDRADE singing SAMBA DE UMA NOTA SÓ, accompanied by Romero Lubambo, composed by Tom Jobim.

[@josemontes4470]

Good day from México

[@bamsejonas]

With Tenacious D, Tim Minchin and Weird Al I think you picked pretty much the best of the genre but I could use some Bo Burnham in the mix, welcome to the internet would be the obvious choice I think

[@Lavoslvl99]

Can you react to Marisa Monte - Negro Gato ? ❤

[@wacinton]

g'day Beth, in your own sweet time, please react on Soronio Vasquez cover of Roy Orbison's Crying

[@troyfraser2138]

Hey cool reaction. I went through your playlist and I noticed you reacted to The Search by NF. But have you reacted to his video HOPE yet??? It’s a masterpiece from start to finish. You won’t regret reacting to it if you didn’t react to it yet. It really is Epic. If you haven’t yet can you make HOPE by NF one of your next reactions please😊

[@michaelodonnell824]

While Weird Al is the US best parody artist (always remembering Chuck Berry and "My Ding-a-Ling"), the UK had the Baron Knights - worth a listen...

[@jen_nordlund]

Please do "you don't love me anymore" or "one more minute" to get a totally different side of Weird Al's voice.

[@Hogtownboy1]

It because he is a great musician

[@raghul70]

I request you to react and respond to garaj garaj track from bandish bandid its a classical indian music would love to hear your explanation

[@Danceofmasks]

It sure does help to just happen to have a guitarist on hand who can match Eddie van Halen's solo.

[@shannonherb2048]

He was pretty funny.

[@acamisz]

can you please react to the song Habibi by Tamino??

[@marcozirpolli453]

Você precisa assistir um vídeo indiano, paródia de Thriller... o vídeo se chama "Golimar"

[@AdrianReyes-hr3tg]

Beth the say you are nothing in the music industry if weird Al has not made a parody of your music

[@raptrechos7510]

please react to Priscila Alcântara - Girassol (R&B Version)

[@Snailblazermrkl]

Now do joy division

[@nonameanonymous8525]

Most Al's songs are about food

[@nonameanonymous8525]

WAY has a lot of songs - "Like a Surgeon", "Amish Paradise", "Virus Alert" and... "Christmas at Ground zero" (in the clinic’s reception room before Christmas 2022 - first year of war was a bull's eye).

[@jonsnow_1995]

hello my friend I hope you are well. Please please please react to the song "Thane Nizar" by Sirvan Khosravi. I promise you that it is one of the best and most beautiful Iranian songs you have ever heard. thank you very much i love you

[@coffeefanatic4404]

Beth, you should react to some gospel music. I have many recommendations, but the first is " When Sunday Comes" by Donald Lawrence and the Tri-City Singers. The lead vocalist for this song is Daryl Coley. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGGVfKWte6edn6c
