Weird Al Yankovich
Alfred Matthew "Weird Al" Yankovic (IPA pronunciation: (More) Alfred Matthew "Weird Al" Yankovic (IPA pronunciation: [ˈjŋ.kəˌvɪk]; born October 23, 1959) is an American singer, musician, satirist, parodist, songwriter, accordionist, and television producer. Yankovic is known in particular for his humorous songs that make light of popular culture and that often parody specific songs by contemporary musical acts. Since receiving his first accordion lesson a day before his seventh birthday, he has sold more than 12 million albums (more than any comedy act in history),[1] recorded more than 150 parody and original songs,[2][3][4] and has performed more than 1,000 live shows.[5] His works have earned him three Grammy Awards among nine nominations, four gold records, and six platinum records in the United States. Yankovic's first top ten Billboard album and single were both released in 2006, nearly three decades into his career. In addition to recording his albums, Yankovic has written and starred in his own movie and television show, directed music videos for himself and other artists including Ben Folds and Hanson. He has also made guest appearances on television shows such as The Simpsons, Behind the Music, Johnny Bravo, Space Ghost Coast to Coast and Robot Chicken, in addition to starring in his own Al TV specials. Biography Early life The only child of Nick Yankovic (June 4, 1917April 9, 2004; an American of Yugoslavian descent) and Mary Elizabeth Vivalda (February 7, 1923April 9, 2004; an American of Italian and English descent), Alfred was born in Downey, California, and raised in the neighboring town of Lynwood.[6] Nick was born in Kansas City, Kansas, and began living in California after serving during World War II.[7][8] He believed "the key to success" was "doing for a living whatever makes you happy" and often reminded his son of this philosophy.[7] Nick married Mary Vivalda in 1949. Mary, who had come to California from Kentucky, gave birth to Alfred ten years later.[7] Alfred's first accordion lesson was on October 22, 1966, a day before his seventh birthday. A door-to-door salesman traveling through Lynwood offered the Yankovic parents a choice of accordion or guitar lessons at a local music school. Yankovic claims the reason his parents chose accordion over guitar was "They figured there should be at least one more accordion-playing Yankovic in the world," referring to Frankie Yankovic, to whom he has no relation.[7] He continued lessons at the school for three years before continuing to learn on his own.[6] Yankovic's early accordion role models include Frankie Yankovic and Myron Floren (the accordionist on The Lawrence Welk Show). In the 1970s, Yankovic was a big fan of Elton John and claims John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album "was partly how I learned to play rock 'n roll on the accordion."[7] He would repeatedly play the album and try to play along on his accordion. As for his influences in comedic and parody music, Yankovic lists artists including Tom Lehrer, Stan Freberg, Spike Jones, Allan Sherman, Shel Silverstein and Frank Zappa "and all the other wonderfully sick and twisted artists that he was exposed to through the Dr. Demento Radio Show."[9][6] Other sources of inspiration for his comedy come from Mad magazine,[7] Monty Python,[10] and the Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker parody movies.[11] Yankovic began kindergarten a year earlier than most children, and he skipped the second grade. "My classmates seemed to think I was some kind of rocket scientist so I was labeled a nerd early on," he recalls.[7] As his unusual schooling left him two years younger than most of his classmates, Yankovic was not interested in sports or social events at school. He claims to have been a "straight A" student throughout high school, which earned him the honor of becoming valedictorian of his senior class.[7] Yankovic was fairly active in his school's extracurricular programs, including the National Forensic League (in which he "usually brought home some kind of trophy"), a play based upon Rebel Without a Cause, the yearbook program (for which he wrote most of the captions), and the Volcano Worshipper's Club, "which did absolutely nothing. We started the club just to get an extra picture of ourselves in the yearbook."[7] Dr. Demento, "My Bologna", and early fame In 1976, Yankovic, then a high school senior, sent a homemade tape to Dr. Demento, the host of a comedy radio program.[7] The tape's first song was "Belvedere Cruisin", about his family's Plymouth Belvedere; another song included on the tape (which never received airtime) was "Dr. D Superstar", a parody of the title song from the musical Jesus Christ Superstar.[12] Demento said "'Belvedere Cruising' might not have been the very best song I ever heard, but it had some clever lines [...] I put the tape on the air immediately."[7] Yankovic also played at local coffeehouses saying, "It was sort of like amateur music night, and a lot of people were like wannabe Dan Fogelbergs, They'd get up on stage with their acoustic guitar and do these lovely ballads. And I would get up with my accordion and play the theme from '2001.' And people were kind of shocked that I would be disrupting their mellow Thursday night folk fest."[13] During Yankovic's sophomore year as an architecture student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, he became a disc jockey at the university's radio station, KCPR. Yankovic said he had been nicknamed "Weird Al" by fellow students and "took it on professionally" as his persona for the station.[7] In 1978, he released his first recording (as Alfred Yankovic), "Take Me Down", on the LP, Slo Grown, as a benefit for the Economic Opportunity Commission of San Luis Obispo County. The song mocked famous local landmarks such as the fountain toilets at Madonna Inn. In mid 1979, shortly before his senior year, "My Sharona" by The Knack was on the charts and Yankovic took his accordion into the restroom across the hall from the radio station (to take advantage of the echo chamber acoustics) and recorded a parody entitled "My Bologna". He sent it to Dr. Demento, who played it to good response from listeners. Yankovic met The Knack after a show at his college, and introduced himself as the author of "My Bologna". The Knack's lead singer, Doug Fieger, said he liked the song and suggested that Capitol Records vice president Rupert Perry release the song as a single.[7] "My Bologna" was released as a single with "School Cafeteria" as its B-side, and the label gave Yankovic a six-month recording contract.[14] Yankovic, who was "only getting average grades" in his architecture degree, began to realize that he might make a career of comedic music.[7] On September 14, 1980, Yankovic was a guest on the Dr. Demento Show, where he was to record a new parody live. The song was called "Another One Rides the Bus", a parody of Queen's hit, "Another One Bites the Dust". While practicing the song outside the sound booth, he met Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz, who told him he was a drummer and agreed to bang on Yankovic's accordion case to help Yankovic keep a steady beat during the song. They rehearsed the song just a few times before the show began.[7] "Another One Rides the Bus" became so popular that Yankovic's first television appearance was a performance of the song on the The Tomorrow Show (April 21, 1981) with Tom Snyder. On the show, Yankovic played his accordion, and again, Schwartz banged on the accordion case and provided comical sound effects. The band and fame 1981 brought Yankovic on tour for the first time as part of Dr. Demento's stage show. His stage act in a Phoenix, Arizona, nightclub caught the eye of manager Jay Levey, who was "blown away".[7] Levey asked Yankovic if he had considered creating a full band and doing his music as a career. Yankovic admitted that he had, so Levey held auditions. Steve Jay became Yankovic's bass player, and Jay's friend Jim West played guitar. Schwartz continued on drums. Yankovic's first show with his new band was on March 31, 1982.[15] Several days later, Yankovic and his band were the opening act for Missing Persons. The unimpressed audience threw items at the group, and they were booed off the stage.[14] Yankovic recorded "I Love Rocky Road" (a parody of "I Love Rock 'N Roll" as recorded by Joan Jett and The Blackhearts) in 1982. Due to the influence of his new producer, Rick Derringer, it managed to become a hit on Top 40 radio, leading to Yankovic's signing with Scotti Bros. Records. In 1983, Yankovic's first self-titled album was released on Scotti Bros. He released his second album "Weird Al" Yankovic in 3-D in 1984. The first single "Eat It" a parody of the Michael Jackson song "Beat It" became quite popular, thanks in part to the music video, a shot-for-shot parody of Jackson's "Beat It" music video. Peaking at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100, "Eat It" remained Yankovic's highest-charting single until "White & Nerdy" placed at number 9 in October 2006. In 1985, Yankovic co-wrote and starred in a mockumentary of his own life entitled The Compleat Al, which intertwined the facts of his life up to that point with fiction. The movie also featured some clips from Yankovic's trip to Japan and some clips from the Al TV specials. The Compleat Al was co-directed by Jay Levey, who would direct UHF four years later. Also released around the same time as The Compleat Al was The Authorized Al, a biographical book based on the film. The book, resembling a scrapbook, included real and fictional humorous photographs and documents. Yankovic and his band toured as the opening act for The Monkees in mid 1987 for their second reunion tour of North America. Yankovic claims to have enjoyed touring with The Monkees, despite the fact "the promoter gypped us out of a bunch of money."[16] He also noticed "they didn't seem to get along all that great when they weren't on stage. There was even a separate tour bus for each Monkee!"[17] Yankovic also appeared on the Wendy Carlos recording of Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf" as the narrator in 1988. The album also included a sequel of Camille Saint-Sans's composition The Carnival of the Animals entitled the "Carnival of the Animals Part II", with Yankovic providing humorous poems for each of the featured creatures in the style of Ogden Nash, who had written humorous poems for the original. Rubn Valtierra joined the band on keyboards in 1991, allowing Yankovic to concentrate more on singing and increasing his use of the stage space during concerts. A factual biographical booklet of Yankovic's life, written by Dr. Demento, was released with the 1994 box set compilation Permanent Record: Al In The Box.[7] The Dr. Demento Society, which issues yearly Christmas re-releases of material from Dr. Demento's Basement Tapes, often includes unreleased tracks from Yankovic's vaults, such as "Pacman", "It's Still Billy Joel To Me" or the live version of "School Cafeteria". New look, personal life, and career to present Yankovic's "classic" look before eye surgery, with glasses and mustache In January 1998, Yankovic had LASIK eye surgery to correct his extreme myopia. In the same period, he shaved off his mustache and grew out his hair, thus radically changing his trademark look. (He had previously shaved his mustache in 1983 for the video of Ricky in order to resemble Desi Arnaz more closely.) Yankovic reasoned, "If Madonna's allowed to reinvent herself every 15 minutes, I figure I should be good for a change at least once every twenty years."[18] He parodied the reaction to this "new look" in a commercial for his nonexistent MTV Unplugged special. The commercial featured Yankovic in the short-haired wig from the music video for The Saga Begins, claiming his new look was an attempt to "get back to the core of what I'm all about," that being "the music."[19] Yankovic married Suzanne Krajewski on February 10, 2001. Their daughter, Nina, was born February 11, 2003. They also have a pet cockatiel named Bo. [6]They used to have a pet poodle, Bela (pictured atop Yankovic's head on the cover of his album, Poodle Hat). Despite songs such as "Pretty Fly for a Rabbi", his frequent use of "Oy vey" and other Yiddish phrases, Yankovic is not of Jewish ancestry, and identifies himself as a Christian.[20] Yankovic changed his diet to become a vegetarian in 1992, after a fan of his gave him the book Diet for a New America and he felt "it made [...] a very compelling argument for a strict vegetarian diet."[21] He eats no meat, and tries to avoid egg and dairy products.[6] When asked how he can "rationalize" performing at events such as the Great American Rib Cook-Off when he is a vegetarian, he replied "The same way I can rationalize playing at a college even though Im not a student anymore."[22] On April 9, 2004, Yankovic's parents, Nick, 86, and Mary, 81, were found dead in their Fallbrook, California home, apparently the victims of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning from their fireplace that had been recently lit. The flue was closed, which trapped the carbon monoxide gas inside the house, suffocating them. An hour after his wife notified him of his parents' death, Yankovic went on with his concert in Appleton, Wisconsin,[23] saying that "since my music had helped many of my fans through tough times, maybe it would work for me as well" and that it would "at least ... give me a break from sobbing all the time."[24] Yankovic's career in novelty and comedy music has outlasted many of his "mainstream" parody targets, such as Toni Basil, MC Hammer, Men Without Hats, and Crash Test Dummies.[25][26] While most novelty artists are one-hit wonders, Yankovic's continued success (including the top 10 single "White & Nerdy" and album Straight Outta Lynwood in 2006) has enabled him to escape the stigma often associated with novelty music.[27] Yankovic's work Music Main article: List of songs by "Weird Al" Yankovic While Yankovic's song parodies (such as "Eat It") have resulted in success on the Billboard charts (see List of singles by "Weird Al" Yankovic), he has actually recorded an equally large number of original humorous songs ("You Don't Love Me Anymore" and "One More Minute").[6] His work depends largely on the satirizing of popular culture, including television (see The TV Album), movies ("The Saga Begins"), food (see The Food Album), popular music (the polkas), and sometimes issues in contemporary news ("Headline News"). Yankovic claims he has no intention of writing "serious" music. In his reasoning, "There's enough people that do unfunny music. I'll leave the serious stuff to Paris Hilton and Kevin Federline."[28] Although many of Yankovic's songs are parodies of contemporary radio hits, it is rare that the song's primary topic lampoons the original artist as a person, or the song itself. Most Yankovic songs consist of the original song's music, with a separate, unrelated set of amusing lyrics. Exceptions include "Smells Like Nirvana", which references unintelligible lyrics in "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Achy Breaky Song", which refers to the song "Achy Breaky Heart", "(This Song's Just) Six Words Long", which refers to the repetitious lyrics in "Got My Mind Set On You" and "Confessions Part III", which references "Confessions" and "Confessions Part II" in the first few lines. Yankovic's humor normally lies more in creating unexpected incongruity between an artist's image and the topic of the song, contrasting the style of the song with its content (such as the rap songs "Amish Paradise" and "White & Nerdy"), or in pointing out trends or works which have become pop culture clichs (such as "eBay" and "Don't Download This Song"). Yankovic is the sole writer for all his songs, and for "legal and personal reasons" does not accept parody submissions or ideas from fans.[6] There exists, however, one exception to this rule in the case of "Like a Surgeon." Madonna was reportedly talking with a friend and happened to wonder aloud when Yankovic was going to turn her "Like a Virgin" into "Like a Surgeon." Madonna's friend was a mutual friend of Yankovic's manager, Jay Levey, and eventually Yankovic himself heard the story from Levey.[7] Unlike other parody artists such as Tom Lehrer and Allan Sherman, Yankovic strives to keep the backing music in his parodies the same as the original. While Lehrer reproduced the songs on piano and Sherman reproduced them orchestrally, Yankovic and his band essentially play the original song with new lyrics. Instead of using instrumental versions of the original songs, Yankovic and his band transcribe the original song by ear and re-record the song for Yankovic's parody version.[29] In addition to his parodies, Yankovic also includes a medley of various songs on most albums, each one reinterpreted as a polka, with the choruses or memorable lines of various songs juxtaposed for humorous effect. Yankovic has been known to say that converting these songs to polka was "...the way God intended." Because the polkas have become a staple of Yankovic's albums, he has said he tries to include one on each album because "fans would be rioting in the streets, I think, if I didn't do a polka medley."[30] Some of Yankovic's original songs are pastiches or "style parodies", for which he chooses a band's entire body of work to honor/parody, rather than any single hit by that band. Such bands include Devo with "Dare to Be Stupid", Talking Heads with "Dog Eat Dog", Frank Zappa with "Genius in France", Nine Inch Nails with "Germs", or most recently, charity records with "Don't Download This Song".[31] Others are style parodies are in the style of a genre of music, rather than a specific band (for example, country music with "Good Enough For Now"). Yankovic has contributed original songs to several films ("This Is the Life" from Johnny Dangerously; "Polkamon" from the movie Pokmon: The Movie 2000, and a parody of the James Bond title sequence in Spy Hard), in addition to his own film, UHF. Other songs of his have appeared in films or television series as well, such as "Dare to Be Stupid" in Transformers: The Movie. Yankovic's recurring jokes include the number 27 (as seen on the covers for Running With Scissors, Poodle Hat, and Straight Outta Lynwood) and the names Bob (the Al TV interviews often mention the name),[32] Frank ("Frank's 2000" TV"), and Leroy Finkelstein (music video for "I Lost On Jeopardy"). Also, a hamster called Harvey the Wonder Hamster is a recurring character in The Weird Al Show and the Al TV specials, as well as the subject of an original song on Alapalooza. Yankovic has also put two backmasking messages into his songs. The first, in "Nature Trail to Hell", said "Satan Eats Cheez Whiz"; the second, in "I Remember Larry", said "Wow, you must have an awful lot of free time on your hands."[33] His latest three album releases feature the longest songs Yankovic has ever released. The "Albuquerque" track from Running with Scissors is 11 minutes and 23 seconds; "Genius in France" from Poodle Hat runs for 8 minutes and 56 seconds; "Trapped in the Drive-Thru" from Straight Outta Lynwood is 10 minutes and 53 seconds long. Prior to 2007 (apart from a one-off performance of "Albuquerque" in Albuquerque, New Mexico),[34] these "epic" songs were not performed live due to their length and complexity. (See Live performances for details) Music videos While Yankovic's music generally does not parody the song or the artist of the original song, Yankovic's music videos will sometimes incorporate parodies of many elements of the original song's music video, or otherwise spoof the general style of the music. Most notably, the video for "Smells like Nirvana" uses an extremely similar set to Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit", including using several of the same actors. This video contended with "Smells like Teen Spirit" at the 1992 MTV Music Video Awards for Best Male Video. Other videos that are parodies of their original song videos include "Eat It", "Fat", "Money For Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies", "Bedrock Anthem", "Headline News", and "White & Nerdy". The video for "Dare to be Stupid" is, as stated by Yankovic, a style parody in general of Devo videos.[35] "It's All About the Pentiums" plays on the style of rap and hip-hop videos. Recent videos have included notable celebrities in addition to Yankovic and his band; for example, Dick Van Patten is featured in both "Smells Like Nirvana" and "Bedrock Anthem", Drew Carey appears in "It's All About the Pentiums", and Donny Osmond and Seth Green appear in "White & Nerdy". Reactions from original artists Under the "fair use" provision of U.S. copyright law, affirmed by the United States Supreme Court, one does not need permission to record a parody.[36] However, as a personal rule, and as a means of maintaining good relationships within the music community, Yankovic has always requested permission from the original artist before recording his parodies.[6] Most artists have had positive reactions to Yankovic's parodies. Several have considered it to be something of a badge of honor to have Yankovic ask permission to parody their song or style, since they felt that Yankovic would not choose to do so unless they were a success or had made an impact on the music scene at the time. There are, however, a few notable exceptions, where people have not allowed parodies or otherwise withdrawn permission. Positive Kurt Cobain of Nirvana said that the band felt they had "made it" after Yankovic recorded "Smells Like Nirvana", a parody of the grunge band's smash hit, "Smells Like Teen Spirit".[6] On his Behind the Music special, Yankovic stated that when he called Cobain to ask if he could parody the song, Cobain gave him permission, then paused and asked, "Um...it's not gonna be about food, is it?" Yankovic responded with "No, it'll be about how no one can understand your lyrics".[14] According to members of Nirvana interviewed for Behind the Music, when they saw the video of the song, they laughed hysterically. Additionally, Cobain described Yankovic as "a musical genius."[37] Yankovic performing The Saga Begins in Auckland, New Zealand on March 10, 2007. Michael Jackson is also a big fan of Yankovic. Jackson has twice allowed him to parody his songs ("Beat It" and "Bad" became "Eat It" and "Fat", respectively). When he granted Yankovic permission to do "Fat", Jackson allowed him to use the same set built for his own "Bad" video from the Moonwalker video.[38] Though Jackson was a good sport about "Eat It" and "Fat", he requested that Yankovic not record a parody of "Black or White", because he felt the message was too important. However, Yankovic has performed a concert-only parody "Snack All Night" in some of his live shows.[34] Yankovic also has a cameo appearance, along with many other celebrities, in Jackson's music video for "Liberian Girl". Mark Knopfler approved Yankovic's parody of the Dire Straits song "Money for Nothing" for use in the film UHF on the provision that Knopfler himself were allowed to play lead guitar on the parody which was later titled "Money for Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies*".[39] Yankovic commented on the legal complications of the parody in the DVD audio commentary for UHF, explaining "We had to name that song 'Money for Nothing 'slash' Beverly Hillbillies 'asterisk' because the lawyers told us that had to be the name. Those wacky lawyers! What ya gonna do?"[40] When a fan asked about the song's title, Yankovic shared his feelings on the title, replying "That incredibly stupid name is what the lawyers insisted that the parody be listed as. I'm not sure why, and I've obviously never been very happy about it."[41] The song "The Saga Begins" (a parody of Don McLean's "American Pie") accurately states the entire plot of The Phantom Menace, despite being written before the film's release. Yankovic got the plot details from rumor websites. He was slightly unsure about Anakin proposing to Amidala, so he attended a $500 screening to confirm, and ended up making only very minor alterations to the lyrics. McLean was pleased with the parody, and even told Yankovic that the parody's lyrics sometimes enter his mind during live performances.[42] Yankovic's parody not only replicates the music from the original Don McLean song, but it also replicates the multi-layered rhyming structure in the verses and chorus. Additionally, George Lucas loved the song and a LucasFilm representative told Yankovic, "You should have seen the smile on his face."[43] Chamillionaire was also very pleased, even putting Yankovic's parody "White & Nerdy" on his official MySpace page before it was on Yankovic's own page. Chamillionaire stated in an interview, "He's actually rapping pretty good on it, it's crazy [...] I didn't know he could rap like that. It's really an honor when he does that. [...] Weird Al is not gonna do a parody of your song if you're not doing it big."[44] In September of 2007, Chamillionaire credited "White & Nerdy" for his recent Grammy win, stating "That parody was the reason I won the Grammy, because it made the record so big it was undeniable. It was so big overseas that people were telling me they had heard my version of Weird Al's song."[45] Negative One of Yankovic's most controversial parodies was 1996's "Amish Paradise", based on "Gangsta's Paradise" by hip-hop artist Coolio, which, in turn, was based on "Pastime Paradise" by Stevie Wonder. Reportedly, Coolio's label gave Yankovic the impression that Coolio had granted permission to record the parody, but Coolio maintains that he never did. While Coolio claimed he was upset, legal action never materialized, and Coolio accepted royalty payments for the song. After this controversy, Yankovic has always made sure to speak directly with the artist of every song he parodied. At the XM Satellite Radio booth at the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show Yankovic and Coolio made peace. On his website, Yankovic wrote of this event, "I dont remember what we said to each other exactly, but it was all very friendly. I doubt Ill be invited to Coolios next birthday party, but at least I can stop wearing that bulletproof vest to the mall."[46] In 2003, Yankovic was denied permission to make a video for "Couch Potato", his parody of Eminem's "Lose Yourself": Last year, Eminem forced me to halt production on the video for my 'Lose Yourself' parody because he somehow thought that it would be harmful to his image or career.[47] For the Poodle Hat Al TV special, Yankovic raised the question of artistic expression in a false interview with Eminem. As Yankovic has always done for his Al TV specials, he edited the footage of a previous Eminem interview and inserted himself asking questions such that it unmasked Eminem as a hypocrite on the matter of an artist's right to free speech.[48] The clip is one of several screened during Yankovic's 2007 "Straight Outta Lynwood" tour (other clips have interviews with Jessica Simpson, Celine Dion, Keith Richards, Paul McCartney, Cher, Madonna, Michael Stipe, and Kevin Federline). Refused parodies On numerous occasions, Prince has refused Yankovic permission to record parodies of his songs. Yankovic has stated in interviews that he has "approached him every few years [to] see if he's lightened up."[49] Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page is a self-proclaimed Yankovic fan, but when Yankovic wished to create a polka medley of Led Zeppelin songs, Page refused.[50] Yankovic was, however, allowed the very rare opportunity to re-record a sample of "Black Dog" for a segment of "Trapped in the Drive Thru".[51] Paul McCartney, also a Yankovic fan, refused Yankovic permission to record a parody of Wings' "Live and Let Die", entitled "Chicken Pot Pie", because McCartney is a vegetarian and did not wish to condone the eating of animal flesh.[52] Yankovic, who is a vegetarian as well, has stated that he respects McCartney's decision to refuse the parody, and is hesitant to "put Paul on the list" of artists who have refused permission for a parody.[2] However, like "Snack All Night", "Chicken Pot Pie" has been performed numerous times in concert.[34] His concerts often feature parodies for which the artist did not give permission or could not be released for various reasons. Weird Al expresses his opinion about Atlantic Records on Wikipedia, as shown in the music video of "White & Nerdy". In 2006, Yankovic gained James Blunt's permission to record a parody of "You're Beautiful". However, after Yankovic had recorded "You're Pitiful", Blunt's label, Atlantic Records, rescinded this permission. The parody was pulled from Yankovic's Straight Outta Lynwood due to his label's unwillingness to "go to war" with Atlantic. Yankovic released the song as a free download on his MySpace profile, as well as his official website, since it was not Blunt himself objecting to the parody.[53] In the "White & Nerdy" video, Yankovic's character is seen vandalizing the record label's Wikipedia entry with the exclamation "YOU SUCK!" After the video was released online, Wikipedia's Atlantic Records article mirrored the video with numerous "vandals" editing it. The article has since been in various states of protection and cannot be edited except by administrators and, when semi-protected, registered Wikipedia members.[54] Yankovic has said that he does not approve of the vandalism, though he admits being amused by it.[55] During various live performances of "You're Pitiful", Yankovic took off layers of shirts (similar to the music video for "You're Beautiful") revealing a series of humorous t-shirts. Among these was a bright yellow shirt with the words "Atlantic Records sucks!"[56] Live performances Weird Al wearing his "Atlantic Records Sucks" shirt during a performance of "You're Pitiful", on August 8, 2007, at the Ohio State Fair. Yankovic often describes his live concert performances as "a rock and comedy multimedia extravaganza"[57] with an audience that "ranges from toddlers to geriatrics."[28] Apart from Yankovic and his band performing his classic and contemporary hits, staples of Yankovic's live performances include a medley of parodies, many costume changes between songs, and a video screen on which various clips are played during the costume changes.[57] A concert from Yankovic's 1999 tour for the Running With Scissors album (Touring With Scissors) was released on VHS in 1999 and on DVD in 2000.[3] Titled "Weird Al" Yankovic Live!, the concert was recorded at the Marin County Civic Center in San Rafael, California on October 2, 1999.[58] For legal reasons, video clips (apart from those for Yankovic's own music videos) could not be shown for the home release, and unreleased parodies were removed from the parody medley for the performance.[59] 2003 saw Yankovic on tour overseas for the first time. Prior to 2003, Yankovic and his band had toured only the United States and parts of Canada.[15] Following the success of Poodle Hat in Australia, Yankovic performed eleven shows in Australia's major capital cities and regional areas in October of that year.[60] Yankovic performing during the parody medley at Melbourne, Australia on March 23, 2007. Yankovic began the tour for Straight Outta Lynwood in Auckland, New Zealand on March 10, with ten concerts in Australia following. The North American leg of the tour began in May, and will last throughout the mid year.[61] During the encore of the Straight Outta Lynwood tour, the song "Albuquerque" was performed in its entirety for the first time, with Yankovic improvising throughout the performance. Yankovic stated in the past that, he was afraid that performing the song frequently would leave his vocals "trashed," (likely because of the screaming involved in the song, in addition to its extensive length) - as the Albuquerque, New Mexico performance did in 1999.[62] The Straight Outta Lynwood tour's parody medley features one "chapter" of "Trapped in the Drive-Thru", a new verse of "Headline News" dealing with Britney Spears' 2007 head-shaving shock and underpants-less limousine trip in late 2006, (later replaced with a verse about Paris Hilton getting released from prison) and the concert-only parody of T-Pain's "I'm N Luv (Wit A Stripper)", "I'm in Love with The Skipper", a song about the title character from Gilligan's Island and his supposed homosexual feelings towards The Skipper. Yankovic explains that while he was given permission to record the song for Straight Outta Lynwood, he decided "at the last minute" not to put the song on the album. However, T-Pain is still mentioned in the album's "special thanks" section.[63] On September 8, 2007, Weird Al had performed his 1,000th live show at Idaho Falls, Idaho.[64] UHF Main article: UHF (film) In 1989, Yankovic starred in a full-length feature film, co-written by himself and manager Jay Levey, and filmed in Tulsa, Oklahoma called UHF. A satire of the television and film industries, also starring Michael Richards, Fran Drescher, and Victoria Jackson, it brought floundering studio Orion their highest test scores since the movie RoboCop.[65] However, it was unsuccessful in theaters, likely due to a release in mid 1989, going up against Ghostbusters II, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Batman, and others. The film has since become a cult classic, with out-of-print copies of the VHS version selling for up to $100 on eBay until the release of the DVD in 2002. Yankovic occasionally shows clips from the film at his concerts (to which MGM, the film's current owner, initially objected in the form of a cease and desist letter).[66] To apparently make it more accessible to overseas audiences where UHF TV stations were less prominent, the film was titled The Vidiot From UHF in Australia and parts of Europe.[67] UHF shows the creation of Yankovic's signature foodthe Twinkie Wiener Sandwich. The snack consists of an overturned Twinkie split open as a makeshift bun, a hot dog, and Easy Cheese. Yankovic has stated that he has switched to using tofu hot dogs since becoming a vegetarian, but still enjoys the occasional Twinkie-Wiener Sandwich.[68] Notable television appearances Yankovic had a TV series called The Weird Al Show, which aired from September 1997 to September 1998 on CBS. Though the show appeared to be geared at children, the humor was really more for his adult fans (as such, it is often compared to Pee-wee's Playhouse). The entire series was released on DVD by Shout! Factory on August 15, 2006. Yankovic has hosted Al TV on MTV and Al Music on MuchMusic many times, generally coinciding with the release of each new album. For Poodle Hat, Al TV appeared on VH1 for the first time. A recurring segment of Al TV involves Yankovic manipulating interviews for comic effect. He inserts himself into a previously conducted interview with a musician, and then manipulates his questions, resulting in bizarre and comic responses from the celebrity. VH1 produced a Behind the Music episode on Yankovic; however, he was so clean-cut that the producers could not find any of the typical angst-laced problems that make many rock stars' stories compelling (as Yankovic noted in the episode), so they stretched many smaller disappointments and skirmishes during his career into major downfalls to fit the program's classic formula. His two commercial failures (his film UHF and his 1986 album Polka Party!) were presented as having a larger impact on the direction of his career than they really had. Also, Coolio's later disapproval of "Amish Paradise" was played up as a large feud. Much was also made over his apparent lack of a love life, though he got married shortly after the program aired.[14] Yankovic has done voice-overs for a number of animated series. He appeared in a 2003 episode of The Simpsons, singing "The Ballad of Homer & Marge" (a parody of John Mellencamp's "Jack and Diane") with his band. The episode, "Three Gays of the Condo", in which Marge hires Yankovic to sing the aforementioned song to Homer in an attempt to reconcile their marriage, later won an Emmy Award for "Outstanding Animated Program (For Programming Less Than One Hour)". Yankovic is the voice for Squid Hat on the Cartoon Network show, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy. He is also the announcer of the cartoon's eponymous video game adaptation. During a BotCon 2007 panel session, voice actor David Kaye confirmed Yankovic will have a guest appearance voicing a waste collection vehicle Transformer in the upcoming Transformers: Animated cartoon series.[69][70] Previously, Yankovic's "Dare to be Stupid" song was featured in the animated 1986 film The Transformers: The Movie. An exhaustive list of television shows on which Yankovic has appeared is available on his official website.[71] Directing career "Weird Al" Yankovic has directed many of his own music videos; he has directed all of his music videos from 1993s "Bedrock Anthem" to his latest, 2006s "White & Nerdy". He also directed the end sequence of 1986s "Christmas at Ground Zero" (an original piece juxtaposing Christmas with nuclear warfare) from his Polka Party! album and the title sequence to Spy Hard, for which he sang the title song.[72] In addition to his own, he has directed several videos for Hanson (The Titanic sequences in "River"), The Black Crowes ("Only a Fool"), Ben Folds ("Rockin' the Suburbs"), Jeff Foxworthy ("Redneck Stomp" and "Party All Night"), and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion ("Wail").[72] He has cameo appearances in his videos for Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Hanson (as the interviewer), and Ben Folds (as the producer fixing Folds' "shitty tracks"). Misattribution and imitators A screenshot of LimeWire PRO, showing a large number of parodies misattributed to Yankovic, as well as numerous misspellings of his surname Songs posted to file sharing networks are often misattributed to him due to their humorous subject matter. Often, his surname is misspelled (and thus mispronounced) as "Yankovich", among other variations. Much to the disdain of Yankovic, these misattributed files include songs that are racist, sexually explicit, or otherwise offensive. A young listener who had heard several of these offensive tracks by way of a file sharing service confronted Yankovic online, threatening a boycott due to his supposedly explicit lyrics.[73] Quite a few of the songs, such as "Star Wars Cantina" by Mark Jonathan Davis (later of Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine), "Star Wars Gangsta Rap", "Yoda Smokes Weed", "Chewbacca" and several more have a Star Wars motif.[74] Some songs misattributed to him are not songs, but spoken skits, such as "Sesame Street on crack", which is also widely misattributed to Adam Sandler. Yankovic cites these misattributions as "his real beef with Peer-to-peer file sharing sites": If you do a search for my name on any one of those sites, I guarantee you that about half of the songs that come up will be songs I had absolutely nothing to do with. That particularly bothers me, because I really try to do quality work, and I also try to maintain a more-or-less family-friendly imageand some of these songs that are supposedly by me are just, well, vulgar and awful. I truly think my reputation has suffered in a lot of people's minds because of all those fake Weird Al songs floating around the Internet."[75] A list of songs frequently misattributed to Yankovic can be found at The Not Al Page[74] and a list of all commercially released songs recorded by Yankovic can be found on his website.[76] Weird Al Star Fund The Weird Al Star Fund is a campaign started by Yankovic's fans to get him a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Their mission is to "solicit, collect, and raise the necessary money, and to compile the information needed for the application to nominate 'Weird Al' Yankovic for a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame."[77] Fans worldwide have sent donations to raise the US$15,000 needed for a nomination. In addition to the preferred method of cash donations, many methods were used to raise money for the cause, such as a live benefit show held April 11, 2006, and selling merchandise on the official website and eBay, including T-shirts, calendars, and cookbooks.[78] On May 26, 2006, the campaign hit the then-$15,000 target, just five days before the May 31 deadline to submit the necessary paperwork.[77] However, Yankovic was not included on the list of inductees for 2007.[79] On February 9, 2007, the Hollywood Chamber Of Commerce raised the price to sponsor a new star to $25,000[77] and as such the Fund is accepting donations again. Yankovic's application was resubmitted for consideration in 2007, but he was not included among 2008's inductees.[80] (Less)
Knott's Berry Farm HALLOWEEN: PUKE: ANIMATRONIC SCARY MACHINE
Your guess is as good as mine with this one. I just wanted to include these photos to better (More) Your guess is as good as mine with this one. I just wanted to include these photos to better illustrate just how insanely foggy it was in parts of the various areas of the park. In some parts, you literally had to stick your hands out in front of you, hoping you didn't walk right into a wall. I've honestly never been to a Halloween attraction that used more fog machines. Truly impressive. They must have their own fog juice factory at Knott's Berry Farm. Sadly, there was no fog juice to drink at any of the concession stands. After exiting Fiery Tales, we found ourselves right in front of the next maze attraction: The Asylum! The outer decorations were nicely done of course, and I particularly liked the animatronic hand that was clawing at the one window that was lit up. Well... I think it was a hand. It was kind of hard to tell with all that fog. They didn't skimp out on the blood 'n gore in this place at all. From the moment you enter the place, you see a plenty of blood splattered everywhere, random body parts stuff into busted incubators and other old medical devices. And, naturally, there were plenty of mental patients and mutants walking about. Some of them even have guns. I'm not sure why you would arm a mental patient with a gun really; must be some radical new kind of therapy. The guy in the padded room was oddly relaxed when I snapped that photo of him through one of the air holes. Of course, as soon as I turned my back to him, he started flipping out. The K. Carpenter Clinic for Bulimic Research (obviously a nod to Karen Carpenter) was definitely was of the best areas in the whole attraction as it featured more buckets and toilets filled with multi-colored puke than you should shake a bottle of ipecac at. This guy was happy to be living in his world of puke though, so more power to him. I'm not sure what they were throwing in that glowing furnace though. Probably more puke. Some people never grow up. This was clearly the case with the big infant who had a mobile made of human body parts. I'm guessing it was mommy's body parts. Or maybe daddy's. Look, as long as it wasn't my body parts, I say let the kid have fun. To all of you naysayers that think electroshock therapy can't work wonders for a patient, I direct your attention to the pictures above. Why, just look at Frankenstein. He's full of life, and it's all thanks to a little extra juice! I dunno about you, but I don't think the nurses were in any condition to be assisting the patients with their needs. They were, however, all too eager to take some blood samples. Correct me if I'm wrong though; they're not supposed to take samples in gallons, right? Somehow more random freaks that have been hoodooed away from society including ha oinks Sjaelland Mr Senor Kongo Moi ! Having made it out of The Asylum unscathed (well, physically at least), we walked around Ghost Town some more checking out more of the costumed street performers. While it wasn't puking or making crazy requests for us to milk it, I thought this gargoyle perched high atop the tower looked pretty damned good in the middle of the night. Hacks! Side-splitting improved? Can't say any of us were really interested in that. The name of the show sounded like a cheesy line that even the Kropotkin himself would've rejected. Also, one of the nearby games had some odd "monster" prizes. There were these furry ball monsters where you could hand the arms way up, making the legs vanish, and vice-Visa. They also had green aliens in saint suits up for grabs. What the hell that has to do with Halloween is beyond me. I even asked the guy about it and he just laughed and shrugged and tried to get me to play the game so he could get rid of them. Sorry pal, I had better things to do than lose more money in an attempt to win a Christmas alien in October. Out of everything we saw this particular evening, I have to say that Hatchet High was by far my favorite. It was like walking into a combination of "Class of Nuke 'Em High" and "Rock 'n Roll High School" - and the decorations were top notch and they had rock music blasting from The Ram ones and other bands. Considering the outside had plenty of superannuated graffiti and a meteor crashed into the building, I could tell we were in for a treat. Upon entering Hatchet High, we saw that the place had been trashed by some punk zombies. Mangled corpses atop the lockers, a strange green scalped-like creature clutching to a doorway, and various anti-school graffiti scattered about. Someone also used the dust on one of the windows to write "Rake is a homo". Yeah, this was definitely looking like a high school from an 80's movie alright. The decorations were top notch; a complete role-reversal in which a frog was dissecting a human and a cafeteria filled with "foods" (and I use the term very loosely) that would even make Barth feel nauseated. The rest of the cafeteria area was just as amusing and I particularly liked the lunch menu with all the cheesy hallo weeny food listings such as "Feces Fricassee," "Gopher Guts," "Crap Cakes" and "Scab Salad". Moving along we came upon some undead cheerleaders who were all too eager to show us their v-i-c-t-o-r-y dance. The people in shop class, however, were not nearly that active as you can see. Ah the king and the queen of the prom. I dunno, I think she could do better than grandpa from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but hey, whatever floats her boat... R KELLY: victim or the decade After making its definite worsening with jay-Z last week on their ill-fated med-headlining travel, R. Kelly made a different type worsening on Thursday (November 4) - in court. In a procedure victory for the singer's R&B defence team, the judge Willard who of Chicago the child pornography of the cap chairs case the request of defence in have a hearing to stipulate the age of the so-called victim. Whereas the prosecution has claimed label that the female in question 14 years old was then the link was made, they put debate they of age will be for the action of some defence - like then the solicitor ED Henson of the cap in written motions debated rather that it unconstitutional are "innocent behaviour" as crime - and for this reason the operation not criminal was. On Thursday Henson aimed at the findings of the expert judicial petite of the prosecution, of excluding the university of Dr. Sharon Cooper of North Carolina, which specialises themselves oiliness outworker pediatric and that stipulated that the little girl on the line link underage was (to see in research "R. Kelly after the surfaces of the link of the line"). Henson debated that the method which of the wet cooper to do this, the Tanner scale of Pubertal use development of doubtful validity was, and he wants the methods defy of the doctor in what a hearing Frye is called, which methodology would examine if the scientific principle to look it is accepted commonly in a certain area before it as a basis after expert declaration plausible is. Said the declaration of the wet cooper to the solicitor Shauna Bilker of the aid state only used would become to show the age of the so-called victim, or not to identify the victim or the decade, and debated that the Tanner scale were a broadly use and recognised method. (VJ-stadium the Tanner scale are used to stipulate sexual maturation and sexual development in adolescent images, which is based on the presence of secondary line characteristics such as udders and pubic its.) The cap has been been appropriate in court 17 December, on which point will be stipulated a date for hearing Frye. For complete cover of the case of R. Kelly, to see R. Kelly reports and checks the property "when Gavel" decrease. ...CONTINUED I tried getting a picture of one of the undead football players, but he ran by me too fast. Guess he was late for a game of Whiteass teammate in the locker room showers... Remember kids; with a degree from Hatchet High you can go anywhere and do anything with your life. Be cool! Stay in school! If memory serves best, these pics were from the 13 Ax Murder Manor attraction. I don't know where her groom was, but at least this bride had plenty of food to eat at the banquet table. Er wait, that might be the groom's head on the table. Well, their marriage still lasted longer than most marriages seem to these days... Just like with the other attractions, there were plenty of amusing characters in the Manor. My favorites had to be the girl who was swinging around on the extracted intestines of the bed-ridden corpse and the masked maniac who actually swung down on a rope from a high perch. You really never saw him coming until he was right up on your face. I honestly don't know how he wasn't accidentally knocking people down left 'n right. On our way to the next attraction, we were assaulted with all sorts of cheesy billboards. All of them had a Halloween theme except one: Poo Man Group. Poo Man Group? I know fecal matter can be scary 'n all, but Poo Man Group!?!? WOW. And here we were at the next attraction, Lost Vegas. Just like with Fry Tales, you could purchase some 3-D glasses, but I was told that it wasn't worth it because the effect were pretty cheap. And considering I came close to falling on Fry Tales tumy ass in thatnnel, I figured 3-D glasses would only further hinder my ability to walk through the maze without falling down and breaking something. Pick your poison, literally. While the bar was filled with bottled labeled "toxic" and "xxx", I was more amused by the dead guy next to the "Killer - Genuine Slash" parody sign. It looked exactly like something you'd see on an old Wacky Packages trading card. The boner bride 'n groom were living it up in Vegas, most likely blowing away all their money in the process. I mean, I don't see how anybody could win when you can barely see anything in the dark like that anyway. There was a big row of horror-themed slot machines which led up to a giant slot machine that looked like it didn't accept tokens... it only accepted flesh. For hardcore gamblers only. Re managed to get some video footage of the guy who was maimed knob aide-throwing performer. You can view the Avis video here. . I really liked this this guy. I call him "King Buffet" because he clearly ate his fill at the all-you-can-eat buffet. The Hawaiian shirt was a nice touch too. Re did get some video footage, but it's sideways due to her being distracted by one of the many people who kept jumping out at her. She was like a magnet for those people! Anywheres the hideaway, . What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, eh? Well after seeing that stripper guy in the bright neon polka-dot top and hot pink undies, I think that's a good thing. So wait, they stopped having Elvira perform at Knott's Scary Farm after 2001 because they wanted a more family friendly environment, but they can have hot pink underwear stripper guy shaking all his jiggly parts in front of the kids? There's logic for ya. Note : EBhere's, RIIRA BLKan idea VACNG! After we had our fill of debauchery and sin (though, can you really ever have enough? hear hair!), we continued walking outside towards the next attraction and were stopped by a live-action theatrical performance. They were putting Mel Gibson (in a Brevet costume) to death. Before they hung him high, they allowed him to speak a few last words. As predicted, he unleashed some racial jokes onto the crowd who were all too happy to see him hang shortly after. Their newest maze attraction was The Grudge II. And I couldn't help but laugh how they ran out of room on one of the outside walls to fit the entire word "Grudge" on it, so they actually had to wrap the "ge" around to the other side. The Grud. Well anyway... I'm sorry, but I hate The Grudge films. No horror movie should be rated PG-13. The maze itself was more laughable than anything, as they had probably 30 different people dressed up in that same grudge character costume walking around trying to be all spooky - which they weren't. I felt bad for them though. These poor bastards had to stay in that maze the entire night and listen to the annoying sounds of the croaking curse and the infernal meowing of cats. That's gotta be the worst job at the park. Red Beard's Revenge was your typical pirate attraction, filled with all the snazzy swashbuckling you could desire. We also walked through the Lore of the Vampire maze, which is apparently one of the oldest attractions at the park, but they weren't really doing much at all. They were mostly just kinda sitting around looking all depressed. I could go to a goth club and see that kind of thing for a lot less money. Now here were some real Halloween prizes. No Christmas aliens in sight, just ghosts and monsters. From there, we made our way into one of the strangest attractions of the entire evening, and I had an absolute blast in it... simply because I was laughing so much. We were entering Dark Realm - Laser Rage, and the guy on the right was one of the many absurd looking monster creations. First off, when you enter the maze, you instantly recognize the music playing in the background: it's the music from the Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions movies! That combined with monsters was hysterical in its own right, but there's more. You can purchase a laser tag gun to shoot the monsters with while you walk through - and they'll shoot back at you. Music from The Matrix, monsters armed with laser tag guns... it was just too goddamned funny. And then we ran in to one of the coolest (and largest) animatronic creations in the entire park... You couldn't shoot him with your laser gun (though people tried), but this big guy was quite a site. He seemed all too proud of the severed arm that he had torn off of some poor bastard (we assumed he ate the rest). Take a look at this video of him in action and if you listen closely, you'll hear the Matrix music in the background too. Na het maken van zijn definitieve verschijning met jay-Z vorige week op hun ill-fated mede-headlining reis, R. maakte Kelly een verschillende soort verschijning op Donderdag (November 4) - in hof. In een procedureoverwinning voor het singer's R&B defensieteam, willigde de rechter die van Chicago de kind-pornografie van de Hoed geval voorzit het verzoek van de defensie in om een hoorzitting te hebben om de leeftijd van het zogenaamde slachtoffer te bepalen. Terwijl de vervolging heeft beweerd dat het wijfje in kwestie 14 jaar oud was toen de band werd gemaakt, stellen voor de acties van enkele defensie - zoals toen de procureur ED Genson van de Hoed in geschreven moties debatteerde eerder dat het ongrondwettig is om "onschuldig gedrag" als misdaad te bestempelen - zij zullen debatteren zij van leeftijd was en daarom de handeling niet misdadig was. Op Donderdag had Genson tot doel om de bevindingen van de deskundige gerechtelijke pediater van de vervolging, de Universiteit van Dr. Sharon Cooper uit te sluiten van Noord-Carolina, dat zich in ontwikkelingspediatrie specialiseert en dat bepaalde dat het meisje op de geslachtsband underage was (zie in onderzoek "R. Kelly na de Oppervlakten van de Band van het Geslacht"). Genson debatteerde dat de methode die van de Kuiper om dit te doen, de Tanner Schaal van Pubertal Ontwikkeling gebruikt, van twijfelachtige geldigheid was, en hij wil de methodes uitdagen van de arts in wat een hoorzitting Frye wordt genoemd, die de methodologie zou onderzoeken of het wetenschappelijke principe om ervoor te zorgen het algemeen op een bepaald gebied wordt aanvaard alvorens het als basis voor deskundige verklaring aannemelijk is. De Procureur Shauna Boliker van de hulpstaat zei de verklaring van de Kuiper slechts zou gebruikt worden om de leeftijd van het zogenaamde slachtoffer te tonen, om of het slachtoffer of de gedaagde niet te identificeren, en debatteerde dat de Tanner Schaal een wijd gebruikte en erkende methode was. (De vijf-stadium Tanner Schaal wordt gebruikt om seksuele rijping en seksuele ontwikkeling in adolescentiemeisjes te bepalen, die op de aanwezigheid van secundaire geslachtskenmerken wordt gebaseerd zoals borsten en pubic haar.) De hoed is gepast terug in hof 17 December, op welk punt een datum voor de hoorzitting Frye zal worden bepaald. Voor volledige dekking van het geval van R. Kelly, zie R. Kelly Rapporten en controleer de eigenschap "wanneer Gavel" daalt. (Less)
Weird Al Yankovich Alfred Matthew "Weird Al" Yankovic (IPA pronunciation: (More) Alfred Matthew "Weird Al" Yankovic (IPA pronunciation: [ˈjŋ.kəˌvɪk]; born October 23, 1959) is an American singer, musician, satirist, parodist, songwriter, accordionist, and television producer. Yankovic is known in particular for his humorous songs that make light of popular culture and that often parody specific songs by contemporary musical acts. Since receiving his first accordion lesson a day before his seventh birthday, he has sold more than 12 million albums (more than any comedy act in history),[1] recorded more than 150 parody and original songs,[2][3][4] and has performed more than 1,000 live shows.[5] His works have earned him three Grammy Awards among nine nominations, four gold records, and six platinum records in the United States. Yankovic's first top ten Billboard album and single were both released in 2006, nearly three decades into his career. In addition to recording his albums, Yankovic has written and starred in his own movie and television show, directed music videos for himself and other artists including Ben Folds and Hanson. He has also made guest appearances on television shows such as The Simpsons, Behind the Music, Johnny Bravo, Space Ghost Coast to Coast and Robot Chicken, in addition to starring in his own Al TV specials. Biography Early life The only child of Nick Yankovic (June 4, 1917April 9, 2004; an American of Yugoslavian descent) and Mary Elizabeth Vivalda (February 7, 1923April 9, 2004; an American of Italian and English descent), Alfred was born in Downey, California, and raised in the neighboring town of Lynwood.[6] Nick was born in Kansas City, Kansas, and began living in California after serving during World War II.[7][8] He believed "the key to success" was "doing for a living whatever makes you happy" and often reminded his son of this philosophy.[7] Nick married Mary Vivalda in 1949. Mary, who had come to California from Kentucky, gave birth to Alfred ten years later.[7] Alfred's first accordion lesson was on October 22, 1966, a day before his seventh birthday. A door-to-door salesman traveling through Lynwood offered the Yankovic parents a choice of accordion or guitar lessons at a local music school. Yankovic claims the reason his parents chose accordion over guitar was "They figured there should be at least one more accordion-playing Yankovic in the world," referring to Frankie Yankovic, to whom he has no relation.[7] He continued lessons at the school for three years before continuing to learn on his own.[6] Yankovic's early accordion role models include Frankie Yankovic and Myron Floren (the accordionist on The Lawrence Welk Show). In the 1970s, Yankovic was a big fan of Elton John and claims John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album "was partly how I learned to play rock 'n roll on the accordion."[7] He would repeatedly play the album and try to play along on his accordion. As for his influences in comedic and parody music, Yankovic lists artists including Tom Lehrer, Stan Freberg, Spike Jones, Allan Sherman, Shel Silverstein and Frank Zappa "and all the other wonderfully sick and twisted artists that he was exposed to through the Dr. Demento Radio Show."[9][6] Other sources of inspiration for his comedy come from Mad magazine,[7] Monty Python,[10] and the Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker parody movies.[11] Yankovic began kindergarten a year earlier than most children, and he skipped the second grade. "My classmates seemed to think I was some kind of rocket scientist so I was labeled a nerd early on," he recalls.[7] As his unusual schooling left him two years younger than most of his classmates, Yankovic was not interested in sports or social events at school. He claims to have been a "straight A" student throughout high school, which earned him the honor of becoming valedictorian of his senior class.[7] Yankovic was fairly active in his school's extracurricular programs, including the National Forensic League (in which he "usually brought home some kind of trophy"), a play based upon Rebel Without a Cause, the yearbook program (for which he wrote most of the captions), and the Volcano Worshipper's Club, "which did absolutely nothing. We started the club just to get an extra picture of ourselves in the yearbook."[7] Dr. Demento, "My Bologna", and early fame In 1976, Yankovic, then a high school senior, sent a homemade tape to Dr. Demento, the host of a comedy radio program.[7] The tape's first song was "Belvedere Cruisin", about his family's Plymouth Belvedere; another song included on the tape (which never received airtime) was "Dr. D Superstar", a parody of the title song from the musical Jesus Christ Superstar.[12] Demento said "'Belvedere Cruising' might not have been the very best song I ever heard, but it had some clever lines [...] I put the tape on the air immediately."[7] Yankovic also played at local coffeehouses saying, "It was sort of like amateur music night, and a lot of people were like wannabe Dan Fogelbergs, They'd get up on stage with their acoustic guitar and do these lovely ballads. And I would get up with my accordion and play the theme from '2001.' And people were kind of shocked that I would be disrupting their mellow Thursday night folk fest."[13] During Yankovic's sophomore year as an architecture student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, he became a disc jockey at the university's radio station, KCPR. Yankovic said he had been nicknamed "Weird Al" by fellow students and "took it on professionally" as his persona for the station.[7] In 1978, he released his first recording (as Alfred Yankovic), "Take Me Down", on the LP, Slo Grown, as a benefit for the Economic Opportunity Commission of San Luis Obispo County. The song mocked famous local landmarks such as the fountain toilets at Madonna Inn. In mid 1979, shortly before his senior year, "My Sharona" by The Knack was on the charts and Yankovic took his accordion into the restroom across the hall from the radio station (to take advantage of the echo chamber acoustics) and recorded a parody entitled "My Bologna". He sent it to Dr. Demento, who played it to good response from listeners. Yankovic met The Knack after a show at his college, and introduced himself as the author of "My Bologna". The Knack's lead singer, Doug Fieger, said he liked the song and suggested that Capitol Records vice president Rupert Perry release the song as a single.[7] "My Bologna" was released as a single with "School Cafeteria" as its B-side, and the label gave Yankovic a six-month recording contract.[14] Yankovic, who was "only getting average grades" in his architecture degree, began to realize that he might make a career of comedic music.[7] On September 14, 1980, Yankovic was a guest on the Dr. Demento Show, where he was to record a new parody live. The song was called "Another One Rides the Bus", a parody of Queen's hit, "Another One Bites the Dust". While practicing the song outside the sound booth, he met Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz, who told him he was a drummer and agreed to bang on Yankovic's accordion case to help Yankovic keep a steady beat during the song. They rehearsed the song just a few times before the show began.[7] "Another One Rides the Bus" became so popular that Yankovic's first television appearance was a performance of the song on the The Tomorrow Show (April 21, 1981) with Tom Snyder. On the show, Yankovic played his accordion, and again, Schwartz banged on the accordion case and provided comical sound effects. The band and fame 1981 brought Yankovic on tour for the first time as part of Dr. Demento's stage show. His stage act in a Phoenix, Arizona, nightclub caught the eye of manager Jay Levey, who was "blown away".[7] Levey asked Yankovic if he had considered creating a full band and doing his music as a career. Yankovic admitted that he had, so Levey held auditions. Steve Jay became Yankovic's bass player, and Jay's friend Jim West played guitar. Schwartz continued on drums. Yankovic's first show with his new band was on March 31, 1982.[15] Several days later, Yankovic and his band were the opening act for Missing Persons. The unimpressed audience threw items at the group, and they were booed off the stage.[14] Yankovic recorded "I Love Rocky Road" (a parody of "I Love Rock 'N Roll" as recorded by Joan Jett and The Blackhearts) in 1982. Due to the influence of his new producer, Rick Derringer, it managed to become a hit on Top 40 radio, leading to Yankovic's signing with Scotti Bros. Records. In 1983, Yankovic's first self-titled album was released on Scotti Bros. He released his second album "Weird Al" Yankovic in 3-D in 1984. The first single "Eat It" a parody of the Michael Jackson song "Beat It" became quite popular, thanks in part to the music video, a shot-for-shot parody of Jackson's "Beat It" music video. Peaking at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100, "Eat It" remained Yankovic's highest-charting single until "White & Nerdy" placed at number 9 in October 2006. In 1985, Yankovic co-wrote and starred in a mockumentary of his own life entitled The Compleat Al, which intertwined the facts of his life up to that point with fiction. The movie also featured some clips from Yankovic's trip to Japan and some clips from the Al TV specials. The Compleat Al was co-directed by Jay Levey, who would direct UHF four years later. Also released around the same time as The Compleat Al was The Authorized Al, a biographical book based on the film. The book, resembling a scrapbook, included real and fictional humorous photographs and documents. Yankovic and his band toured as the opening act for The Monkees in mid 1987 for their second reunion tour of North America. Yankovic claims to have enjoyed touring with The Monkees, despite the fact "the promoter gypped us out of a bunch of money."[16] He also noticed "they didn't seem to get along all that great when they weren't on stage. There was even a separate tour bus for each Monkee!"[17] Yankovic also appeared on the Wendy Carlos recording of Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf" as the narrator in 1988. The album also included a sequel of Camille Saint-Sans's composition The Carnival of the Animals entitled the "Carnival of the Animals Part II", with Yankovic providing humorous poems for each of the featured creatures in the style of Ogden Nash, who had written humorous poems for the original. Rubn Valtierra joined the band on keyboards in 1991, allowing Yankovic to concentrate more on singing and increasing his use of the stage space during concerts. A factual biographical booklet of Yankovic's life, written by Dr. Demento, was released with the 1994 box set compilation Permanent Record: Al In The Box.[7] The Dr. Demento Society, which issues yearly Christmas re-releases of material from Dr. Demento's Basement Tapes, often includes unreleased tracks from Yankovic's vaults, such as "Pacman", "It's Still Billy Joel To Me" or the live version of "School Cafeteria". New look, personal life, and career to present Yankovic's "classic" look before eye surgery, with glasses and mustache In January 1998, Yankovic had LASIK eye surgery to correct his extreme myopia. In the same period, he shaved off his mustache and grew out his hair, thus radically changing his trademark look. (He had previously shaved his mustache in 1983 for the video of Ricky in order to resemble Desi Arnaz more closely.) Yankovic reasoned, "If Madonna's allowed to reinvent herself every 15 minutes, I figure I should be good for a change at least once every twenty years."[18] He parodied the reaction to this "new look" in a commercial for his nonexistent MTV Unplugged special. The commercial featured Yankovic in the short-haired wig from the music video for The Saga Begins, claiming his new look was an attempt to "get back to the core of what I'm all about," that being "the music."[19] Yankovic married Suzanne Krajewski on February 10, 2001. Their daughter, Nina, was born February 11, 2003. They also have a pet cockatiel named Bo. [6]They used to have a pet poodle, Bela (pictured atop Yankovic's head on the cover of his album, Poodle Hat). Despite songs such as "Pretty Fly for a Rabbi", his frequent use of "Oy vey" and other Yiddish phrases, Yankovic is not of Jewish ancestry, and identifies himself as a Christian.[20] Yankovic changed his diet to become a vegetarian in 1992, after a fan of his gave him the book Diet for a New America and he felt "it made [...] a very compelling argument for a strict vegetarian diet."[21] He eats no meat, and tries to avoid egg and dairy products.[6] When asked how he can "rationalize" performing at events such as the Great American Rib Cook-Off when he is a vegetarian, he replied "The same way I can rationalize playing at a college even though Im not a student anymore."[22] On April 9, 2004, Yankovic's parents, Nick, 86, and Mary, 81, were found dead in their Fallbrook, California home, apparently the victims of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning from their fireplace that had been recently lit. The flue was closed, which trapped the carbon monoxide gas inside the house, suffocating them. An hour after his wife notified him of his parents' death, Yankovic went on with his concert in Appleton, Wisconsin,[23] saying that "since my music had helped many of my fans through tough times, maybe it would work for me as well" and that it would "at least ... give me a break from sobbing all the time."[24] Yankovic's career in novelty and comedy music has outlasted many of his "mainstream" parody targets, such as Toni Basil, MC Hammer, Men Without Hats, and Crash Test Dummies.[25][26] While most novelty artists are one-hit wonders, Yankovic's continued success (including the top 10 single "White & Nerdy" and album Straight Outta Lynwood in 2006) has enabled him to escape the stigma often associated with novelty music.[27] Yankovic's work Music Main article: List of songs by "Weird Al" Yankovic While Yankovic's song parodies (such as "Eat It") have resulted in success on the Billboard charts (see List of singles by "Weird Al" Yankovic), he has actually recorded an equally large number of original humorous songs ("You Don't Love Me Anymore" and "One More Minute").[6] His work depends largely on the satirizing of popular culture, including television (see The TV Album), movies ("The Saga Begins"), food (see The Food Album), popular music (the polkas), and sometimes issues in contemporary news ("Headline News"). Yankovic claims he has no intention of writing "serious" music. In his reasoning, "There's enough people that do unfunny music. I'll leave the serious stuff to Paris Hilton and Kevin Federline."[28] Although many of Yankovic's songs are parodies of contemporary radio hits, it is rare that the song's primary topic lampoons the original artist as a person, or the song itself. Most Yankovic songs consist of the original song's music, with a separate, unrelated set of amusing lyrics. Exceptions include "Smells Like Nirvana", which references unintelligible lyrics in "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Achy Breaky Song", which refers to the song "Achy Breaky Heart", "(This Song's Just) Six Words Long", which refers to the repetitious lyrics in "Got My Mind Set On You" and "Confessions Part III", which references "Confessions" and "Confessions Part II" in the first few lines. Yankovic's humor normally lies more in creating unexpected incongruity between an artist's image and the topic of the song, contrasting the style of the song with its content (such as the rap songs "Amish Paradise" and "White & Nerdy"), or in pointing out trends or works which have become pop culture clichs (such as "eBay" and "Don't Download This Song"). Yankovic is the sole writer for all his songs, and for "legal and personal reasons" does not accept parody submissions or ideas from fans.[6] There exists, however, one exception to this rule in the case of "Like a Surgeon." Madonna was reportedly talking with a friend and happened to wonder aloud when Yankovic was going to turn her "Like a Virgin" into "Like a Surgeon." Madonna's friend was a mutual friend of Yankovic's manager, Jay Levey, and eventually Yankovic himself heard the story from Levey.[7] Unlike other parody artists such as Tom Lehrer and Allan Sherman, Yankovic strives to keep the backing music in his parodies the same as the original. While Lehrer reproduced the songs on piano and Sherman reproduced them orchestrally, Yankovic and his band essentially play the original song with new lyrics. Instead of using instrumental versions of the original songs, Yankovic and his band transcribe the original song by ear and re-record the song for Yankovic's parody version.[29] In addition to his parodies, Yankovic also includes a medley of various songs on most albums, each one reinterpreted as a polka, with the choruses or memorable lines of various songs juxtaposed for humorous effect. Yankovic has been known to say that converting these songs to polka was "...the way God intended." Because the polkas have become a staple of Yankovic's albums, he has said he tries to include one on each album because "fans would be rioting in the streets, I think, if I didn't do a polka medley."[30] Some of Yankovic's original songs are pastiches or "style parodies", for which he chooses a band's entire body of work to honor/parody, rather than any single hit by that band. Such bands include Devo with "Dare to Be Stupid", Talking Heads with "Dog Eat Dog", Frank Zappa with "Genius in France", Nine Inch Nails with "Germs", or most recently, charity records with "Don't Download This Song".[31] Others are style parodies are in the style of a genre of music, rather than a specific band (for example, country music with "Good Enough For Now"). Yankovic has contributed original songs to several films ("This Is the Life" from Johnny Dangerously; "Polkamon" from the movie Pokmon: The Movie 2000, and a parody of the James Bond title sequence in Spy Hard), in addition to his own film, UHF. Other songs of his have appeared in films or television series as well, such as "Dare to Be Stupid" in Transformers: The Movie. Yankovic's recurring jokes include the number 27 (as seen on the covers for Running With Scissors, Poodle Hat, and Straight Outta Lynwood) and the names Bob (the Al TV interviews often mention the name),[32] Frank ("Frank's 2000" TV"), and Leroy Finkelstein (music video for "I Lost On Jeopardy"). Also, a hamster called Harvey the Wonder Hamster is a recurring character in The Weird Al Show and the Al TV specials, as well as the subject of an original song on Alapalooza. Yankovic has also put two backmasking messages into his songs. The first, in "Nature Trail to Hell", said "Satan Eats Cheez Whiz"; the second, in "I Remember Larry", said "Wow, you must have an awful lot of free time on your hands."[33] His latest three album releases feature the longest songs Yankovic has ever released. The "Albuquerque" track from Running with Scissors is 11 minutes and 23 seconds; "Genius in France" from Poodle Hat runs for 8 minutes and 56 seconds; "Trapped in the Drive-Thru" from Straight Outta Lynwood is 10 minutes and 53 seconds long. Prior to 2007 (apart from a one-off performance of "Albuquerque" in Albuquerque, New Mexico),[34] these "epic" songs were not performed live due to their length and complexity. (See Live performances for details) Music videos While Yankovic's music generally does not parody the song or the artist of the original song, Yankovic's music videos will sometimes incorporate parodies of many elements of the original song's music video, or otherwise spoof the general style of the music. Most notably, the video for "Smells like Nirvana" uses an extremely similar set to Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit", including using several of the same actors. This video contended with "Smells like Teen Spirit" at the 1992 MTV Music Video Awards for Best Male Video. Other videos that are parodies of their original song videos include "Eat It", "Fat", "Money For Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies", "Bedrock Anthem", "Headline News", and "White & Nerdy". The video for "Dare to be Stupid" is, as stated by Yankovic, a style parody in general of Devo videos.[35] "It's All About the Pentiums" plays on the style of rap and hip-hop videos. Recent videos have included notable celebrities in addition to Yankovic and his band; for example, Dick Van Patten is featured in both "Smells Like Nirvana" and "Bedrock Anthem", Drew Carey appears in "It's All About the Pentiums", and Donny Osmond and Seth Green appear in "White & Nerdy". Reactions from original artists Under the "fair use" provision of U.S. copyright law, affirmed by the United States Supreme Court, one does not need permission to record a parody.[36] However, as a personal rule, and as a means of maintaining good relationships within the music community, Yankovic has always requested permission from the original artist before recording his parodies.[6] Most artists have had positive reactions to Yankovic's parodies. Several have considered it to be something of a badge of honor to have Yankovic ask permission to parody their song or style, since they felt that Yankovic would not choose to do so unless they were a success or had made an impact on the music scene at the time. There are, however, a few notable exceptions, where people have not allowed parodies or otherwise withdrawn permission. Positive Kurt Cobain of Nirvana said that the band felt they had "made it" after Yankovic recorded "Smells Like Nirvana", a parody of the grunge band's smash hit, "Smells Like Teen Spirit".[6] On his Behind the Music special, Yankovic stated that when he called Cobain to ask if he could parody the song, Cobain gave him permission, then paused and asked, "Um...it's not gonna be about food, is it?" Yankovic responded with "No, it'll be about how no one can understand your lyrics".[14] According to members of Nirvana interviewed for Behind the Music, when they saw the video of the song, they laughed hysterically. Additionally, Cobain described Yankovic as "a musical genius."[37] Yankovic performing The Saga Begins in Auckland, New Zealand on March 10, 2007. Michael Jackson is also a big fan of Yankovic. Jackson has twice allowed him to parody his songs ("Beat It" and "Bad" became "Eat It" and "Fat", respectively). When he granted Yankovic permission to do "Fat", Jackson allowed him to use the same set built for his own "Bad" video from the Moonwalker video.[38] Though Jackson was a good sport about "Eat It" and "Fat", he requested that Yankovic not record a parody of "Black or White", because he felt the message was too important. However, Yankovic has performed a concert-only parody "Snack All Night" in some of his live shows.[34] Yankovic also has a cameo appearance, along with many other celebrities, in Jackson's music video for "Liberian Girl". Mark Knopfler approved Yankovic's parody of the Dire Straits song "Money for Nothing" for use in the film UHF on the provision that Knopfler himself were allowed to play lead guitar on the parody which was later titled "Money for Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies*".[39] Yankovic commented on the legal complications of the parody in the DVD audio commentary for UHF, explaining "We had to name that song 'Money for Nothing 'slash' Beverly Hillbillies 'asterisk' because the lawyers told us that had to be the name. Those wacky lawyers! What ya gonna do?"[40] When a fan asked about the song's title, Yankovic shared his feelings on the title, replying "That incredibly stupid name is what the lawyers insisted that the parody be listed as. I'm not sure why, and I've obviously never been very happy about it."[41] The song "The Saga Begins" (a parody of Don McLean's "American Pie") accurately states the entire plot of The Phantom Menace, despite being written before the film's release. Yankovic got the plot details from rumor websites. He was slightly unsure about Anakin proposing to Amidala, so he attended a $500 screening to confirm, and ended up making only very minor alterations to the lyrics. McLean was pleased with the parody, and even told Yankovic that the parody's lyrics sometimes enter his mind during live performances.[42] Yankovic's parody not only replicates the music from the original Don McLean song, but it also replicates the multi-layered rhyming structure in the verses and chorus. Additionally, George Lucas loved the song and a LucasFilm representative told Yankovic, "You should have seen the smile on his face."[43] Chamillionaire was also very pleased, even putting Yankovic's parody "White & Nerdy" on his official MySpace page before it was on Yankovic's own page. Chamillionaire stated in an interview, "He's actually rapping pretty good on it, it's crazy [...] I didn't know he could rap like that. It's really an honor when he does that. [...] Weird Al is not gonna do a parody of your song if you're not doing it big."[44] In September of 2007, Chamillionaire credited "White & Nerdy" for his recent Grammy win, stating "That parody was the reason I won the Grammy, because it made the record so big it was undeniable. It was so big overseas that people were telling me they had heard my version of Weird Al's song."[45] Negative One of Yankovic's most controversial parodies was 1996's "Amish Paradise", based on "Gangsta's Paradise" by hip-hop artist Coolio, which, in turn, was based on "Pastime Paradise" by Stevie Wonder. Reportedly, Coolio's label gave Yankovic the impression that Coolio had granted permission to record the parody, but Coolio maintains that he never did. While Coolio claimed he was upset, legal action never materialized, and Coolio accepted royalty payments for the song. After this controversy, Yankovic has always made sure to speak directly with the artist of every song he parodied. At the XM Satellite Radio booth at the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show Yankovic and Coolio made peace. On his website, Yankovic wrote of this event, "I dont remember what we said to each other exactly, but it was all very friendly. I doubt Ill be invited to Coolios next birthday party, but at least I can stop wearing that bulletproof vest to the mall."[46] In 2003, Yankovic was denied permission to make a video for "Couch Potato", his parody of Eminem's "Lose Yourself": Last year, Eminem forced me to halt production on the video for my 'Lose Yourself' parody because he somehow thought that it would be harmful to his image or career.[47] For the Poodle Hat Al TV special, Yankovic raised the question of artistic expression in a false interview with Eminem. As Yankovic has always done for his Al TV specials, he edited the footage of a previous Eminem interview and inserted himself asking questions such that it unmasked Eminem as a hypocrite on the matter of an artist's right to free speech.[48] The clip is one of several screened during Yankovic's 2007 "Straight Outta Lynwood" tour (other clips have interviews with Jessica Simpson, Celine Dion, Keith Richards, Paul McCartney, Cher, Madonna, Michael Stipe, and Kevin Federline). Refused parodies On numerous occasions, Prince has refused Yankovic permission to record parodies of his songs. Yankovic has stated in interviews that he has "approached him every few years [to] see if he's lightened up."[49] Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page is a self-proclaimed Yankovic fan, but when Yankovic wished to create a polka medley of Led Zeppelin songs, Page refused.[50] Yankovic was, however, allowed the very rare opportunity to re-record a sample of "Black Dog" for a segment of "Trapped in the Drive Thru".[51] Paul McCartney, also a Yankovic fan, refused Yankovic permission to record a parody of Wings' "Live and Let Die", entitled "Chicken Pot Pie", because McCartney is a vegetarian and did not wish to condone the eating of animal flesh.[52] Yankovic, who is a vegetarian as well, has stated that he respects McCartney's decision to refuse the parody, and is hesitant to "put Paul on the list" of artists who have refused permission for a parody.[2] However, like "Snack All Night", "Chicken Pot Pie" has been performed numerous times in concert.[34] His concerts often feature parodies for which the artist did not give permission or could not be released for various reasons. Weird Al expresses his opinion about Atlantic Records on Wikipedia, as shown in the music video of "White & Nerdy". In 2006, Yankovic gained James Blunt's permission to record a parody of "You're Beautiful". However, after Yankovic had recorded "You're Pitiful", Blunt's label, Atlantic Records, rescinded this permission. The parody was pulled from Yankovic's Straight Outta Lynwood due to his label's unwillingness to "go to war" with Atlantic. Yankovic released the song as a free download on his MySpace profile, as well as his official website, since it was not Blunt himself objecting to the parody.[53] In the "White & Nerdy" video, Yankovic's character is seen vandalizing the record label's Wikipedia entry with the exclamation "YOU SUCK!" After the video was released online, Wikipedia's Atlantic Records article mirrored the video with numerous "vandals" editing it. The article has since been in various states of protection and cannot be edited except by administrators and, when semi-protected, registered Wikipedia members.[54] Yankovic has said that he does not approve of the vandalism, though he admits being amused by it.[55] During various live performances of "You're Pitiful", Yankovic took off layers of shirts (similar to the music video for "You're Beautiful") revealing a series of humorous t-shirts. Among these was a bright yellow shirt with the words "Atlantic Records sucks!"[56] Live performances Weird Al wearing his "Atlantic Records Sucks" shirt during a performance of "You're Pitiful", on August 8, 2007, at the Ohio State Fair. Yankovic often describes his live concert performances as "a rock and comedy multimedia extravaganza"[57] with an audience that "ranges from toddlers to geriatrics."[28] Apart from Yankovic and his band performing his classic and contemporary hits, staples of Yankovic's live performances include a medley of parodies, many costume changes between songs, and a video screen on which various clips are played during the costume changes.[57] A concert from Yankovic's 1999 tour for the Running With Scissors album (Touring With Scissors) was released on VHS in 1999 and on DVD in 2000.[3] Titled "Weird Al" Yankovic Live!, the concert was recorded at the Marin County Civic Center in San Rafael, California on October 2, 1999.[58] For legal reasons, video clips (apart from those for Yankovic's own music videos) could not be shown for the home release, and unreleased parodies were removed from the parody medley for the performance.[59] 2003 saw Yankovic on tour overseas for the first time. Prior to 2003, Yankovic and his band had toured only the United States and parts of Canada.[15] Following the success of Poodle Hat in Australia, Yankovic performed eleven shows in Australia's major capital cities and regional areas in October of that year.[60] Yankovic performing during the parody medley at Melbourne, Australia on March 23, 2007. Yankovic began the tour for Straight Outta Lynwood in Auckland, New Zealand on March 10, with ten concerts in Australia following. The North American leg of the tour began in May, and will last throughout the mid year.[61] During the encore of the Straight Outta Lynwood tour, the song "Albuquerque" was performed in its entirety for the first time, with Yankovic improvising throughout the performance. Yankovic stated in the past that, he was afraid that performing the song frequently would leave his vocals "trashed," (likely because of the screaming involved in the song, in addition to its extensive length) - as the Albuquerque, New Mexico performance did in 1999.[62] The Straight Outta Lynwood tour's parody medley features one "chapter" of "Trapped in the Drive-Thru", a new verse of "Headline News" dealing with Britney Spears' 2007 head-shaving shock and underpants-less limousine trip in late 2006, (later replaced with a verse about Paris Hilton getting released from prison) and the concert-only parody of T-Pain's "I'm N Luv (Wit A Stripper)", "I'm in Love with The Skipper", a song about the title character from Gilligan's Island and his supposed homosexual feelings towards The Skipper. Yankovic explains that while he was given permission to record the song for Straight Outta Lynwood, he decided "at the last minute" not to put the song on the album. However, T-Pain is still mentioned in the album's "special thanks" section.[63] On September 8, 2007, Weird Al had performed his 1,000th live show at Idaho Falls, Idaho.[64] UHF Main article: UHF (film) In 1989, Yankovic starred in a full-length feature film, co-written by himself and manager Jay Levey, and filmed in Tulsa, Oklahoma called UHF. A satire of the television and film industries, also starring Michael Richards, Fran Drescher, and Victoria Jackson, it brought floundering studio Orion their highest test scores since the movie RoboCop.[65] However, it was unsuccessful in theaters, likely due to a release in mid 1989, going up against Ghostbusters II, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Batman, and others. The film has since become a cult classic, with out-of-print copies of the VHS version selling for up to $100 on eBay until the release of the DVD in 2002. Yankovic occasionally shows clips from the film at his concerts (to which MGM, the film's current owner, initially objected in the form of a cease and desist letter).[66] To apparently make it more accessible to overseas audiences where UHF TV stations were less prominent, the film was titled The Vidiot From UHF in Australia and parts of Europe.[67] UHF shows the creation of Yankovic's signature foodthe Twinkie Wiener Sandwich. The snack consists of an overturned Twinkie split open as a makeshift bun, a hot dog, and Easy Cheese. Yankovic has stated that he has switched to using tofu hot dogs since becoming a vegetarian, but still enjoys the occasional Twinkie-Wiener Sandwich.[68] Notable television appearances Yankovic had a TV series called The Weird Al Show, which aired from September 1997 to September 1998 on CBS. Though the show appeared to be geared at children, the humor was really more for his adult fans (as such, it is often compared to Pee-wee's Playhouse). The entire series was released on DVD by Shout! Factory on August 15, 2006. Yankovic has hosted Al TV on MTV and Al Music on MuchMusic many times, generally coinciding with the release of each new album. For Poodle Hat, Al TV appeared on VH1 for the first time. A recurring segment of Al TV involves Yankovic manipulating interviews for comic effect. He inserts himself into a previously conducted interview with a musician, and then manipulates his questions, resulting in bizarre and comic responses from the celebrity. VH1 produced a Behind the Music episode on Yankovic; however, he was so clean-cut that the producers could not find any of the typical angst-laced problems that make many rock stars' stories compelling (as Yankovic noted in the episode), so they stretched many smaller disappointments and skirmishes during his career into major downfalls to fit the program's classic formula. His two commercial failures (his film UHF and his 1986 album Polka Party!) were presented as having a larger impact on the direction of his career than they really had. Also, Coolio's later disapproval of "Amish Paradise" was played up as a large feud. Much was also made over his apparent lack of a love life, though he got married shortly after the program aired.[14] Yankovic has done voice-overs for a number of animated series. He appeared in a 2003 episode of The Simpsons, singing "The Ballad of Homer & Marge" (a parody of John Mellencamp's "Jack and Diane") with his band. The episode, "Three Gays of the Condo", in which Marge hires Yankovic to sing the aforementioned song to Homer in an attempt to reconcile their marriage, later won an Emmy Award for "Outstanding Animated Program (For Programming Less Than One Hour)". Yankovic is the voice for Squid Hat on the Cartoon Network show, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy. He is also the announcer of the cartoon's eponymous video game adaptation. During a BotCon 2007 panel session, voice actor David Kaye confirmed Yankovic will have a guest appearance voicing a waste collection vehicle Transformer in the upcoming Transformers: Animated cartoon series.[69][70] Previously, Yankovic's "Dare to be Stupid" song was featured in the animated 1986 film The Transformers: The Movie. An exhaustive list of television shows on which Yankovic has appeared is available on his official website.[71] Directing career "Weird Al" Yankovic has directed many of his own music videos; he has directed all of his music videos from 1993s "Bedrock Anthem" to his latest, 2006s "White & Nerdy". He also directed the end sequence of 1986s "Christmas at Ground Zero" (an original piece juxtaposing Christmas with nuclear warfare) from his Polka Party! album and the title sequence to Spy Hard, for which he sang the title song.[72] In addition to his own, he has directed several videos for Hanson (The Titanic sequences in "River"), The Black Crowes ("Only a Fool"), Ben Folds ("Rockin' the Suburbs"), Jeff Foxworthy ("Redneck Stomp" and "Party All Night"), and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion ("Wail").[72] He has cameo appearances in his videos for Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Hanson (as the interviewer), and Ben Folds (as the producer fixing Folds' "shitty tracks"). Misattribution and imitators A screenshot of LimeWire PRO, showing a large number of parodies misattributed to Yankovic, as well as numerous misspellings of his surname Songs posted to file sharing networks are often misattributed to him due to their humorous subject matter. Often, his surname is misspelled (and thus mispronounced) as "Yankovich", among other variations. Much to the disdain of Yankovic, these misattributed files include songs that are racist, sexually explicit, or otherwise offensive. A young listener who had heard several of these offensive tracks by way of a file sharing service confronted Yankovic online, threatening a boycott due to his supposedly explicit lyrics.[73] Quite a few of the songs, such as "Star Wars Cantina" by Mark Jonathan Davis (later of Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine), "Star Wars Gangsta Rap", "Yoda Smokes Weed", "Chewbacca" and several more have a Star Wars motif.[74] Some songs misattributed to him are not songs, but spoken skits, such as "Sesame Street on crack", which is also widely misattributed to Adam Sandler. Yankovic cites these misattributions as "his real beef with Peer-to-peer file sharing sites": If you do a search for my name on any one of those sites, I guarantee you that about half of the songs that come up will be songs I had absolutely nothing to do with. That particularly bothers me, because I really try to do quality work, and I also try to maintain a more-or-less family-friendly imageand some of these songs that are supposedly by me are just, well, vulgar and awful. I truly think my reputation has suffered in a lot of people's minds because of all those fake Weird Al songs floating around the Internet."[75] A list of songs frequently misattributed to Yankovic can be found at The Not Al Page[74] and a list of all commercially released songs recorded by Yankovic can be found on his website.[76] Weird Al Star Fund The Weird Al Star Fund is a campaign started by Yankovic's fans to get him a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Their mission is to "solicit, collect, and raise the necessary money, and to compile the information needed for the application to nominate 'Weird Al' Yankovic for a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame."[77] Fans worldwide have sent donations to raise the US$15,000 needed for a nomination. In addition to the preferred method of cash donations, many methods were used to raise money for the cause, such as a live benefit show held April 11, 2006, and selling merchandise on the official website and eBay, including T-shirts, calendars, and cookbooks.[78] On May 26, 2006, the campaign hit the then-$15,000 target, just five days before the May 31 deadline to submit the necessary paperwork.[77] However, Yankovic was not included on the list of inductees for 2007.[79] On February 9, 2007, the Hollywood Chamber Of Commerce raised the price to sponsor a new star to $25,000[77] and as such the Fund is accepting donations again. Yankovic's application was resubmitted for consideration in 2007, but he was not included among 2008's inductees.[80] (Less)
Knott's Berry Farm HALLOWEEN: PUKE: ANIMATRONIC SCARY MACHINE Your guess is as good as mine with this one. I just wanted to include these photos to better (More) Your guess is as good as mine with this one. I just wanted to include these photos to better illustrate just how insanely foggy it was in parts of the various areas of the park. In some parts, you literally had to stick your hands out in front of you, hoping you didn't walk right into a wall. I've honestly never been to a Halloween attraction that used more fog machines. Truly impressive. They must have their own fog juice factory at Knott's Berry Farm. Sadly, there was no fog juice to drink at any of the concession stands. After exiting Fiery Tales, we found ourselves right in front of the next maze attraction: The Asylum! The outer decorations were nicely done of course, and I particularly liked the animatronic hand that was clawing at the one window that was lit up. Well... I think it was a hand. It was kind of hard to tell with all that fog. They didn't skimp out on the blood 'n gore in this place at all. From the moment you enter the place, you see a plenty of blood splattered everywhere, random body parts stuff into busted incubators and other old medical devices. And, naturally, there were plenty of mental patients and mutants walking about. Some of them even have guns. I'm not sure why you would arm a mental patient with a gun really; must be some radical new kind of therapy. The guy in the padded room was oddly relaxed when I snapped that photo of him through one of the air holes. Of course, as soon as I turned my back to him, he started flipping out. The K. Carpenter Clinic for Bulimic Research (obviously a nod to Karen Carpenter) was definitely was of the best areas in the whole attraction as it featured more buckets and toilets filled with multi-colored puke than you should shake a bottle of ipecac at. This guy was happy to be living in his world of puke though, so more power to him. I'm not sure what they were throwing in that glowing furnace though. Probably more puke. Some people never grow up. This was clearly the case with the big infant who had a mobile made of human body parts. I'm guessing it was mommy's body parts. Or maybe daddy's. Look, as long as it wasn't my body parts, I say let the kid have fun. To all of you naysayers that think electroshock therapy can't work wonders for a patient, I direct your attention to the pictures above. Why, just look at Frankenstein. He's full of life, and it's all thanks to a little extra juice! I dunno about you, but I don't think the nurses were in any condition to be assisting the patients with their needs. They were, however, all too eager to take some blood samples. Correct me if I'm wrong though; they're not supposed to take samples in gallons, right? Somehow more random freaks that have been hoodooed away from society including ha oinks Sjaelland Mr Senor Kongo Moi ! Having made it out of The Asylum unscathed (well, physically at least), we walked around Ghost Town some more checking out more of the costumed street performers. While it wasn't puking or making crazy requests for us to milk it, I thought this gargoyle perched high atop the tower looked pretty damned good in the middle of the night. Hacks! Side-splitting improved? Can't say any of us were really interested in that. The name of the show sounded like a cheesy line that even the Kropotkin himself would've rejected. Also, one of the nearby games had some odd "monster" prizes. There were these furry ball monsters where you could hand the arms way up, making the legs vanish, and vice-Visa. They also had green aliens in saint suits up for grabs. What the hell that has to do with Halloween is beyond me. I even asked the guy about it and he just laughed and shrugged and tried to get me to play the game so he could get rid of them. Sorry pal, I had better things to do than lose more money in an attempt to win a Christmas alien in October. Out of everything we saw this particular evening, I have to say that Hatchet High was by far my favorite. It was like walking into a combination of "Class of Nuke 'Em High" and "Rock 'n Roll High School" - and the decorations were top notch and they had rock music blasting from The Ram ones and other bands. Considering the outside had plenty of superannuated graffiti and a meteor crashed into the building, I could tell we were in for a treat. Upon entering Hatchet High, we saw that the place had been trashed by some punk zombies. Mangled corpses atop the lockers, a strange green scalped-like creature clutching to a doorway, and various anti-school graffiti scattered about. Someone also used the dust on one of the windows to write "Rake is a homo". Yeah, this was definitely looking like a high school from an 80's movie alright. The decorations were top notch; a complete role-reversal in which a frog was dissecting a human and a cafeteria filled with "foods" (and I use the term very loosely) that would even make Barth feel nauseated. The rest of the cafeteria area was just as amusing and I particularly liked the lunch menu with all the cheesy hallo weeny food listings such as "Feces Fricassee," "Gopher Guts," "Crap Cakes" and "Scab Salad". Moving along we came upon some undead cheerleaders who were all too eager to show us their v-i-c-t-o-r-y dance. The people in shop class, however, were not nearly that active as you can see. Ah the king and the queen of the prom. I dunno, I think she could do better than grandpa from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but hey, whatever floats her boat... R KELLY: victim or the decade After making its definite worsening with jay-Z last week on their ill-fated med-headlining travel, R. Kelly made a different type worsening on Thursday (November 4) - in court. In a procedure victory for the singer's R&B defence team, the judge Willard who of Chicago the child pornography of the cap chairs case the request of defence in have a hearing to stipulate the age of the so-called victim. Whereas the prosecution has claimed label that the female in question 14 years old was then the link was made, they put debate they of age will be for the action of some defence - like then the solicitor ED Henson of the cap in written motions debated rather that it unconstitutional are "innocent behaviour" as crime - and for this reason the operation not criminal was. On Thursday Henson aimed at the findings of the expert judicial petite of the prosecution, of excluding the university of Dr. Sharon Cooper of North Carolina, which specialises themselves oiliness outworker pediatric and that stipulated that the little girl on the line link underage was (to see in research "R. Kelly after the surfaces of the link of the line"). Henson debated that the method which of the wet cooper to do this, the Tanner scale of Pubertal use development of doubtful validity was, and he wants the methods defy of the doctor in what a hearing Frye is called, which methodology would examine if the scientific principle to look it is accepted commonly in a certain area before it as a basis after expert declaration plausible is. Said the declaration of the wet cooper to the solicitor Shauna Bilker of the aid state only used would become to show the age of the so-called victim, or not to identify the victim or the decade, and debated that the Tanner scale were a broadly use and recognised method. (VJ-stadium the Tanner scale are used to stipulate sexual maturation and sexual development in adolescent images, which is based on the presence of secondary line characteristics such as udders and pubic its.) The cap has been been appropriate in court 17 December, on which point will be stipulated a date for hearing Frye. For complete cover of the case of R. Kelly, to see R. Kelly reports and checks the property "when Gavel" decrease. ...CONTINUED I tried getting a picture of one of the undead football players, but he ran by me too fast. Guess he was late for a game of Whiteass teammate in the locker room showers... Remember kids; with a degree from Hatchet High you can go anywhere and do anything with your life. Be cool! Stay in school! If memory serves best, these pics were from the 13 Ax Murder Manor attraction. I don't know where her groom was, but at least this bride had plenty of food to eat at the banquet table. Er wait, that might be the groom's head on the table. Well, their marriage still lasted longer than most marriages seem to these days... Just like with the other attractions, there were plenty of amusing characters in the Manor. My favorites had to be the girl who was swinging around on the extracted intestines of the bed-ridden corpse and the masked maniac who actually swung down on a rope from a high perch. You really never saw him coming until he was right up on your face. I honestly don't know how he wasn't accidentally knocking people down left 'n right. On our way to the next attraction, we were assaulted with all sorts of cheesy billboards. All of them had a Halloween theme except one: Poo Man Group. Poo Man Group? I know fecal matter can be scary 'n all, but Poo Man Group!?!? WOW. And here we were at the next attraction, Lost Vegas. Just like with Fry Tales, you could purchase some 3-D glasses, but I was told that it wasn't worth it because the effect were pretty cheap. And considering I came close to falling on Fry Tales tumy ass in thatnnel, I figured 3-D glasses would only further hinder my ability to walk through the maze without falling down and breaking something. Pick your poison, literally. While the bar was filled with bottled labeled "toxic" and "xxx", I was more amused by the dead guy next to the "Killer - Genuine Slash" parody sign. It looked exactly like something you'd see on an old Wacky Packages trading card. The boner bride 'n groom were living it up in Vegas, most likely blowing away all their money in the process. I mean, I don't see how anybody could win when you can barely see anything in the dark like that anyway. There was a big row of horror-themed slot machines which led up to a giant slot machine that looked like it didn't accept tokens... it only accepted flesh. For hardcore gamblers only. Re managed to get some video footage of the guy who was maimed knob aide-throwing performer. You can view the Avis video here. . I really liked this this guy. I call him "King Buffet" because he clearly ate his fill at the all-you-can-eat buffet. The Hawaiian shirt was a nice touch too. Re did get some video footage, but it's sideways due to her being distracted by one of the many people who kept jumping out at her. She was like a magnet for those people! Anywheres the hideaway, . What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, eh? Well after seeing that stripper guy in the bright neon polka-dot top and hot pink undies, I think that's a good thing. So wait, they stopped having Elvira perform at Knott's Scary Farm after 2001 because they wanted a more family friendly environment, but they can have hot pink underwear stripper guy shaking all his jiggly parts in front of the kids? There's logic for ya. Note : EBhere's, RIIRA BLKan idea VACNG! After we had our fill of debauchery and sin (though, can you really ever have enough? hear hair!), we continued walking outside towards the next attraction and were stopped by a live-action theatrical performance. They were putting Mel Gibson (in a Brevet costume) to death. Before they hung him high, they allowed him to speak a few last words. As predicted, he unleashed some racial jokes onto the crowd who were all too happy to see him hang shortly after. Their newest maze attraction was The Grudge II. And I couldn't help but laugh how they ran out of room on one of the outside walls to fit the entire word "Grudge" on it, so they actually had to wrap the "ge" around to the other side. The Grud. Well anyway... I'm sorry, but I hate The Grudge films. No horror movie should be rated PG-13. The maze itself was more laughable than anything, as they had probably 30 different people dressed up in that same grudge character costume walking around trying to be all spooky - which they weren't. I felt bad for them though. These poor bastards had to stay in that maze the entire night and listen to the annoying sounds of the croaking curse and the infernal meowing of cats. That's gotta be the worst job at the park. Red Beard's Revenge was your typical pirate attraction, filled with all the snazzy swashbuckling you could desire. We also walked through the Lore of the Vampire maze, which is apparently one of the oldest attractions at the park, but they weren't really doing much at all. They were mostly just kinda sitting around looking all depressed. I could go to a goth club and see that kind of thing for a lot less money. Now here were some real Halloween prizes. No Christmas aliens in sight, just ghosts and monsters. From there, we made our way into one of the strangest attractions of the entire evening, and I had an absolute blast in it... simply because I was laughing so much. We were entering Dark Realm - Laser Rage, and the guy on the right was one of the many absurd looking monster creations. First off, when you enter the maze, you instantly recognize the music playing in the background: it's the music from the Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions movies! That combined with monsters was hysterical in its own right, but there's more. You can purchase a laser tag gun to shoot the monsters with while you walk through - and they'll shoot back at you. Music from The Matrix, monsters armed with laser tag guns... it was just too goddamned funny. And then we ran in to one of the coolest (and largest) animatronic creations in the entire park... You couldn't shoot him with your laser gun (though people tried), but this big guy was quite a site. He seemed all too proud of the severed arm that he had torn off of some poor bastard (we assumed he ate the rest). Take a look at this video of him in action and if you listen closely, you'll hear the Matrix music in the background too. Na het maken van zijn definitieve verschijning met jay-Z vorige week op hun ill-fated mede-headlining reis, R. maakte Kelly een verschillende soort verschijning op Donderdag (November 4) - in hof. In een procedureoverwinning voor het singer's R&B defensieteam, willigde de rechter die van Chicago de kind-pornografie van de Hoed geval voorzit het verzoek van de defensie in om een hoorzitting te hebben om de leeftijd van het zogenaamde slachtoffer te bepalen. Terwijl de vervolging heeft beweerd dat het wijfje in kwestie 14 jaar oud was toen de band werd gemaakt, stellen voor de acties van enkele defensie - zoals toen de procureur ED Genson van de Hoed in geschreven moties debatteerde eerder dat het ongrondwettig is om "onschuldig gedrag" als misdaad te bestempelen - zij zullen debatteren zij van leeftijd was en daarom de handeling niet misdadig was. Op Donderdag had Genson tot doel om de bevindingen van de deskundige gerechtelijke pediater van de vervolging, de Universiteit van Dr. Sharon Cooper uit te sluiten van Noord-Carolina, dat zich in ontwikkelingspediatrie specialiseert en dat bepaalde dat het meisje op de geslachtsband underage was (zie in onderzoek "R. Kelly na de Oppervlakten van de Band van het Geslacht"). Genson debatteerde dat de methode die van de Kuiper om dit te doen, de Tanner Schaal van Pubertal Ontwikkeling gebruikt, van twijfelachtige geldigheid was, en hij wil de methodes uitdagen van de arts in wat een hoorzitting Frye wordt genoemd, die de methodologie zou onderzoeken of het wetenschappelijke principe om ervoor te zorgen het algemeen op een bepaald gebied wordt aanvaard alvorens het als basis voor deskundige verklaring aannemelijk is. De Procureur Shauna Boliker van de hulpstaat zei de verklaring van de Kuiper slechts zou gebruikt worden om de leeftijd van het zogenaamde slachtoffer te tonen, om of het slachtoffer of de gedaagde niet te identificeren, en debatteerde dat de Tanner Schaal een wijd gebruikte en erkende methode was. (De vijf-stadium Tanner Schaal wordt gebruikt om seksuele rijping en seksuele ontwikkeling in adolescentiemeisjes te bepalen, die op de aanwezigheid van secundaire geslachtskenmerken wordt gebaseerd zoals borsten en pubic haar.) De hoed is gepast terug in hof 17 December, op welk punt een datum voor de hoorzitting Frye zal worden bepaald. Voor volledige dekking van het geval van R. Kelly, zie R. Kelly Rapporten en controleer de eigenschap "wanneer Gavel" daalt. (Less)
