Honestly, I’m not too thrilled by the new Weird Al parodies, don’t think I’ll get the new album…

I meant what I said in the title of this post.

I realize that a lot of people are just discovering Weird Al since he’s creating a lot of internet buzz but Weird Al have been doing the parody thing for more than a few decades. He’s been doing it since the 80’s. Honestly, I love Al Yankovic’s earlier stuff more.

You should check out his stuff in the 80’s back when he had the curly hair, glasses and mustache. You should especially check out his first self-titled album. Also check out “Polka Party”, “Dare To Be Stupid” and “The UHF Soundtrack” which are his best albums, in my opinion. I also thought “Off the Deep End” was another one of his best albums.

I’ve been listening to Weird Al for years. Ever since I was a child. I remember the first Weird Al album I bought was his first self-titled album and it was on cassette tape.

I still like Weird Al, it’s just that his older stuff is better.

  1. What don’t you like about them? I thought the ‘Blurred Lines’ parody was hilarious and on point – people’s grammar really has gone down the tubes!

    1. He’s just not as funny anymore as he used to be. If you wanna hear funny Al Yankovic parodies listen to his older stuff in the 80’s. They were a lot funnier!

      Listen to these parodies in youtube: “Another Rides the Bus”, “My Bologna”, “Addicted To Spuds”, “Like A Surgeon”, “Living With A Hernia”, “I Wanna New Duck”, “Lasagna”, “Eat It” and “Smells Like Nirvana”.

      1. Oh, and I also forgot “Money For Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies” that’s another favorite of mine.

  2. I’ve been a fan for a long time too – I think I like his non-parody songs the best tho. ‘Dog Eat Dog’ on Polka Party is great…so is ‘The Night Santa Went Crazy’ and ‘Since You’ve Been Gone’…love em.

    1. Yeah, I love his original music as well. I wish he would get more recognition for his original work ’cause he’s known for his parodies.
