We're All Yankovics

Weird Al Yankovic dons a bandaid and kicks out a parody to Nelly’s Hot in Herre. Oh yeah!

Charlie and Steve tackle Weird Al’s parody of R.E.M.’s Stand called Spam. Steve’s a big fan, of the food. Let’s see how he feels about the song. Don’t forget to check us out on twitter @wendelyankovich.

The lawyers are all over this song. Weird Al’s Dire Straits parody from UHF is a fun video and an interesting combination of the original song and the theme song.

Merry Christmas everyone! A fun uplifting Christmas message from your old pal, “Weird Al” Yankovic. Now with a special message to Ronald Reagan. Enjoy!

Oingo Boingo is never the same after listening to this Weird Al style parody. A great musical parody that is lessened by the not always obvious lyrics. Of course, maybe that’s the point.

Khrysti from the GR80s show finishes up her week with us with this theme song from the movie Johnny Dangerously. Another theme song. Another copyright issue plagued video. Is this one better then Spy Hard? Listen and see.

Our first special guest! Khysti from the GR80s podcast joins us this week for a couple of songs from Dare To Be Stupid. First up, the Huey Lewis and the News song, “I want a new drug” recast with ducks. If Read more...

Weird Al takes on Country music with his original song about settling for your second choice. Or at least the best thing you can get.

From Weird Al’s first album, this song is a personal tribute to an old girlfriend’s ex boyfriend.

Weird Al covers the Offspring in this fun take on the Jewish faith. And as a bonus Steve and Charlie review “Laundry Day” a special concert only version of “Come Out And Play”.

Miley Cyrus (and her dad) have nothing on Weird Al. His parody cover of a song originally intended for Jessie J is fun and peppy. What else did we think about it?

Charlie and Steve discuss Weird Al’s Inactive, a parody of Imagine Dragons’ Radioactive. And I mean, have you seen the video for Radioactive? What the heck?

Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX song about being fancy is transformed into a commercial of a local handy man on Weird Al’s Mandatory Fun album.

Weird Al is Lady Gaga. Almost perfect!

Weird Al takes on Chamillionaire’s Ridin’ Dirty with the help of Seth Green and Donny Osmond. We discuss being white and nerdy ourselves, and dive in deep to the details of this song. We discuss outtakes, the trivia questions, and Read more...

Weird Al covers his animated body with ink to cover this great B.O.B. and Bruno Mars song. Steve and Charlie talk about this earworm that they just love for maybe no reason at all.

Straight from the Spy Hard soundtrack (and soon to be part of the Medium Rarities) is Weird Al’s actual movie theme song (as opposed to that rejected Rocky theme). Most people think this theme is the best part of the Read more...

From Dare To Be Stupid, this song some fans think was forced upon Al, was fun as a kid, but not as great now. Steve and I even discover other potential options for Cyndi Lauper songs.

Lasagna from Weird Al’s Even Worse. This parody of the folk song La Bamba takes the Spanish and turns it to Italian. Luckily Italian foods rhyme a lot.

Today’s song is Jerry Springer from Running with Scissors. Weird Al’s parody of both the tv show and the Barenaked Ladies song One Week. Can you really made a humorous parody of a song that is already kinda humor filled? Find Read more...

Does Taylor Hicks creep you out? Clearly he creeped Weird Al Yankovic out enough to inspire this song that replaced You’re Pitiful on the Straight Outta Lynwood album. Does this song creep you out?

Who doesn’t like Weird Al on a New Kids on the Block track? Well, Steve might not. The White Stuff from Off The Deep End.

A parody of the Queen hit Another One Bites the Dust, Weird Al’s 2nd major hit, and probably the song that truly launched his decades long career. Recorded live on the Dr. Demento show, this song is pure Mad Al. Call Read more...

Weird Al Yankovic’s early look into angry songs about television. We wanted a little more accordion and Brady Bunch references. What did you think? Theme Improvised by Anthony RileyCharacter Artwork by Bob Kodzis
