Examples of songs NOT written by " Weird Al" Yankovic-What if God Smoked Cannabis, He Got the Wrong Foot Amputated, etc., etc.Įxamples of songs that were written by "Weird Al Yankovic-"Eat It", "Bad", " Albuquerque", "I Lost on Jeopardy", "Smells Like Nirvana", " Nature Trail To Hell"(don't listen to this if you scare easily), "Like A Surgeon", "White & Nerdy", etc., etc. If it isn't on one of his albums or wasn't in one of his live concerts, IT ISN'T HIS! GOT IT?!?!?!?!? Well, there is "You're Pitiful", his James Blunt parody that Atlantic Records refused to let him put on his albums, which is why in the Music Video for "White & Nerdy" where he says, "I edit Wikipedia", it shows him editing the Wikipedia page for Atlantic Records saying "YOU SUCK!" in large font, bold letters.
To all of you out there reading the definition above this one, " Weird Al" Yankovic didn't write a lot of the songs that are on the Internet filesharing sites/programs.
weird al yankovic is one of the best singers ive ever heard. and he is the proud owner of that song backstreet boys are gay. with have clips of other songs in them like fell in love with a girl and intergalactic planitary. he also has a wide veriety of polkas like angry white boy polka and polka power. He is very creative and artistic and would love to continue to use parodies and YouTube as an avenue to continue to grow and develop.Famous for parodies of popular songs like i love rock and roll and lose yourself with songs like i love rocky road and couch potato. He’s concerned that he might NEVER hear back, and then what happens? We don’t really have an agent that could quickly handle this for us. I know about the copyright info, but it seems that a 13 year old kid, contacting ASCAP (or wherever) wouldn’t get much of a timely response. I am not sure who we are supposed to contact. I would love to teach him the “right” way to do this. I am a musician and music teacher and am really tough about copyright. Played live complete during the Tour of the Universe in 3-D and The Stupid Tour. According to the official website of 'Weird Al', the song was performed live only once or twice, but does not specify when. I THOUGHT that ALL parodies were “fair game”, and thus protected. The title track of Weird Al Yankovic’s 1985 LP is an homage to Devobut as the man himself says, I tried to write a song that didn’t sound specifically like any one Devo tune, but. Performed live at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on April 9, 1982. After checking, we saw a message about “violating copyright law”.
#A COMPLICATED SONG WEIRD AL OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FULL#
This morning, a friend called to tell him that he can no longer access the clip on his iPod. Full and accurate LYRICS for 'A Complicated Song' from ''Weird Al' Yankovic': Uh huh extra cheese, Uh huh uh huh save a piece for me, Pizza party at your. He has done all of the work himself and has loaded them onto YouTube. Special shout-out to Devo fan Weird Al Yankovic for straightening out it into 4/4 on his first recorded polka medley, Polkas On 45, in 1984. Here are 55 of the most iconic music videos of all time. From Michael Jacksons zombie dance in 'Thriller' to Miley Cyrus naked wrecking ball ride, certain visuals stay with the viewer long after the video has ended. Some music videos are more memorable than others. My 13 year old son has created a bunch of parodies, complete with music videos. Kendrick Lamars 'Humble' is an incredible video. I am wondering if you can help me (OK, REALLY…am I REALLY writing to Weird Al to ask for help?) BUT….I am stumped….so … here goes….
I’m thrilled on many levels to hear this, because 1) I truly respect and admire Gaga as an artist and it pained me to think of her as having less than a great sense of humor, and 2) it means I GET TO PUT OUT MY ALBUM!Īs promised, all my proceeds from the song (and the MUSIC VIDEO… I can’t wait…) will go to the Human Rights Campaign. Even though we assumed that Gaga herself was the one making the decision (because, well, that’s what we were TOLD), he apparently made the decision completely on his own. Gaga’s manager has now admitted that he never forwarded my parody to Gaga – she had no idea at all.
After putting my Lady Gaga parody on YouTube this morning – and announcing that it wouldn’t be on my next album because Gaga didn’t approve it – there was a huge outpouring of disappointment from the Internet.Īpparently the fact that she didn’t approve it was news to Lady Gaga herself!
