"Weird Al" Yankovic

Watch It Again!

 

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC

 

"Weird Al" Yankovic has been having his accordian-friendly jollies with the pop's biggest hits since way back in the day from his '80s classic Michael Jackson parody "Eat It" to '90s goodies like "Amish Paradise" and post-millenial ditties like "White & Nerdy." And we're sure you've had a good laugh about his meat-dress Gaga garb in his latest video, for "Perform This Way."
