I'll start by saying I love Weird Al. I have loved and respected him since I was a little girl. I personally think he is not only talented, but brilliant. He is a singer-songwriter, actor, music producer, comedian, writer, parodist, and a phenomenal accordionist. He has written over 150 parody and original songs, and first song aired in 1976. He has directed music videos for Ben Folds and Black Crows. He was Valedictorian of his senior class and started playing the accordian the day before his sixth birthday. In 2001 he got married and has a little girl. He has won 3 grammy awards, has 4 gold records, and 6 platinum records. As a courtesy, although there is no law saying he must, he requests permission from the artist when he wants to do a parody. He has been refused permission by many artists, including Prince, Jimmy Page, and Paul McCartney.
I have said many times, that I think he would make the perfect husband. Based on the fact that he knows the importance of keeping things funny and light. I would love to know him personally. He must be really fun to hang out with. Besides all of that, it takes someone really smart to do what he does. Smart is a very attractive trait as far as I'm concerned, and often can over shadow appearance. I really think someone needs to give him a star on Hollywood Blvd and induct him into the Hall of Fame. Certainly, Al does for a living what makes him happy. Shouldn't we all be that lucky. So, give him a chance, if you haven't already. I promise you will be just as amazed as I am. Listen to him in your car. The other drivers will think your crazy, and you'll arrive to your destination with a big smile on your face. Listen to the Alternative Polka, Perform this way, or a gem like Amish Paradise and see if you can keep from smiling....I dare ya!
Amish Paradise got even funnier once I moved here. Michael is in love with the Alternative Polka. Weird Al is a funny dude!
