‘Weird Al’ Yankovic fans are a powerful force, as proven by the parodist’s recent No. 1 album and by the new campaign to get him to next year’s Super Bowl.
It's been a major week for 'Weird Al' Yankovic, who concluded his eight-day run of debuting music videos by scoring hit first No. 1 album with 'Mandatory Fun.'
Continuing his promise of releasing eight videos in eight days, "Weird Al" Yankovic has dropped the seventh video off 'Mandatory Fun' (available on iTunes and Amazon) today titled 'Lame Claim to Fame.'
'Weird Al' Yankovic is letting all of his first world frustrations out in 'First World Problems,' the latest in his eight videos in eight days campaign -- and PopCrush has the exclusive premiere of the video.
'Weird Al' Yankovic takes on Iggy Azalea's No. 1 hit 'Fancy' and much like Azalea, he's showing off his own swagger and style, but with a toilet plunger instead of high heels. 'Handy' is the fourth Weird Al parody video released this week off of his 'Mandatory Fun' album, which hit stores on Tuesday.
It's almost impossible to stay on topic when interviewing 'Weird Al'. He's a walking encyclopedia of popular culture knowledge and every answer leaves multiple alleyways to explore. Ahead, the topics covered include 'Star Wars,' 'UHF,' Charlie Kaufman, Malcolm Gladwell, Bruce Springsteen, 'The LEGO' Movie, his is favorite movie of all-time, Joe Piscopo, 'The Naked Gun,' 'Rocky' and a host of other topics that don't have much to do with one another.
Just because you haven't heard from 'Weird Al' Yankovic in a while doesn't mean that he's been gone. He's just been biding his time between releases, as per his master plan.
"Weird Al" Yankovic has released the video for his latest parody, 'Foil,' which borrows from Lorde's breakout hit, 'Royals.' The song is featured on his new album titled 'Mandatory Fun.'
