“I love the tune of this song but hate the gross lyrics. What should I do?”
“But I like both old and new songs”
“I also like polka?”
This man is a treasure.
Weird Al:
1. Is very cautious about the effect of his works, apologizing whenever he does something even a tiny bit offensive on accident.
2. Asks for permission from the creators of the songs he parodies, even though he legally doesn’t have to.
3. Is a straight-up genius; he skipped two grades and graduated at 16 the valedictorian of his class. He went to CalTech.
4. Is often upset by the fact that any parody of any song is usually mistakenly attributed to him, espeically the dirty ones because he’s careful to keep his music safe for all ages.
5. Is a genuine A+ human being, 10/10 would recommend.
6. Is everyone’s goofy uncle.
He has given us some of the most wonderfully silly songs EVER
bless this goofy genius
He’s so adorkable 😀
This man is way more than that. He lost BOTH parents to Carbon Monoxide poisoning and when his wife called him, he decided to finish his concert and ensure people in the farming communities he was touring at the time got the performance they had been looking forward to for a year or more.
From wiki:
"since my music had helped many of my fans through tough times, maybe it would work for me as well"[63]and that it would “at least … give me a break from sobbing all the time.”
…
but he considered continuing the show and tour therapeutic, saying “if I didn’t have anything to distract me, I probably would have spiraled into an even deeper depression. For a couple of hours each night, I could go onstage and put on a big fake smile and pretend like everything was just OK.”
The man is life goals. And his rivalry with Prince for being a pretentious dillbag was completely wonderful. He didn’t call him names, he just released the (fully completed before Prince decided last minute not to allow it after all) specific song for free online for anyone to download.
Also when he found out a word he used was used in another country to attack kids with mental delays, he not only apologized, he took the time to make a psa about why that was not okay. Like. Wholesome and good content creator who honestly cares about doing good.
