Tacky. (http://www.nerdist.com/vepisode/weird-al-yankovic-gets-tacky-with-pharrells-happy/)
-
Whyyyyyyyy.
-
Ask WAYF, if he's still around. :)
And LJ: be forewarned, I grew up on Weird Al.
-
Weird Al is your friend, Weird Al wants you to be happy. Happiness is mandatory. Failure to be happy is treason. Treason is punishable by summary execution.
-
Weird Al's still got it. Some great satire in there even, I love the reference to selfies at funerals.
-
Foil (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-0TEJMJOhk) :-D

Word Crimes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gv0H-vPoDc)
-
Hmmmm, this seems to be a little weak from Al. (https://screen.yahoo.com/sketchy/weird-al-yankovic-handy-parody-133702425.html)
-
I keep hearing how good this is, but since I'm unfamiliar with most of the source material, I can't get into it.
-
Sometimes Al's take is better than the source material. I personally think "Word Crimes" is much better than "Blurred Lines".
-
And a Weird Al original
Sports Song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wj9fqUjEN-s)
-
I always love his polka mashups
-
Just a few First World Problems (http://popcrush.com/weird-al-yankovic-first-world-problems-video/)

Lame Claim To Fame (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=yazr8JkazmE)
Also... you ain'a gon' believe this, but Weird Al may very well have this album debut on the Billboard Charts... (http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6165950/weird-al-mandatory-fun-billboard-200Jw&sig2=LPPC6bEri8N8AQXmL_CzwA&bvm=bv.71198958,d.aWw) at #1.

MOST of his takes are.
So Al said this is the last album he's probably going to do, he wants to be more on pace and reactive, so he's probably gonna start releasing lots of singles, that kinda thing.
-
I heard that, and have absolutely NO problem with it.
-
Yeppers. More Al = Good.
-
Inactive is the best one on the album, IMO.
-
He's also getting older. Can you believe he's 55 (today)?
-
I really hope he does at least one more tour before he finally decides to hang up his accordion. I saw him live a few years ago (my virginal concert) and I've always wanted to see another one of his shows. So much raw energy and entertainment coming from Al and his gang!
-
This has always been my favorite Weird Al song.
-
-
Slight bump to state that I got tickets to see him in concert this August this year for his Mandatory Fun Tour. I'll be taking my daughter since she too has taken a shine to the accordion-playing master of parody.
-
Now THIS is a thread that needs a "Like" button. :)
-
I loved taking note of all the five-star reviews on iTunes before the album was even released. The justification of the reviewers who acknowledged that they were jumping the gun was basically "come on... it's WEIRD AL!"
