So far, out of Al Yankovic’s 8 videos, I think this is his best one. Weird Al Yankovic brings back 80’s styled stop motion animation that is done pretty much in the style of Peter Gabriel videos. The new song, “Lame Claim To Fame” is great and the video is great.

What I loved the most of this video is that he gave Dr. Demento a shoutout. If you don’t know who Dr. Demento is, he is a legendary radio DJ who plays comedy music and novelty songs. Dr. Demento was responsible for launching Al Yankovic’s music career. If there was no Dr. Demento, there would have been no Al Yankovic. Dr. Demento was the one who discovered Weird Al and got him a record contract.

This is video no. 7. Final video will be tomorrow. I hope Al’s final video will be the polka medley on the album.
