I was at work yesterday and Party In The USA started playing. I was not singing the Miley lyrics. I was singing this one. My coworkers were laughing their asses off.
Yes! That's my favorite of his original material. When I was a kid - which was in the 80s when it first came out - my friends and I had a whole routine worked out to that song. It was pretty frickin funny for 9 year olds
The guy who grabbed him at the end is the guy he missed in the beginning, when he accidently shot the wrong guy. Again, I recommend either "Dare to be Stupid," which is done in the style of Devo, or "Bob," which is done in the style of Bob Dylan.
TO ANYBODY WHO SUGGESTS "BOB" Please don't reveal why the song is so special before he does a reaction to it.... Let's see if he figures it out himself 😁
One of my favorites that my Mom loved to laugh at was "You don't Love me Anymore" - definitely want to listen to Another Tattoo Too - Pretty Fly for a Rabbi is another Great one. :)
Gotta do “Handy” next. I remember Al explaining in an interview once that he actually does syllable counts on the original songs so he has a baseline to work with when it comes to rewriting the lyrics for the parody.
I feel so old seeing the Weird Al songs you're asked to play. Haven't seen Like a Surgeon yet, for instance. Well, comedy is mostly recognition based and most of the new songs I can't link, never have heard the originals. Just putting it out there.
Al specifically writes his parodies such that you don't need to know the original song to enjoy the humor. In fact, half of the songs on his albums are not direct parodies and are original songs by Al. Many fans will tell stories how they never heard the original song until much later in life.
You've gotta do "Achy Breaky Song". You might be too young to remember the original, but "Achy Breaky Heart" was one of, if not *the* biggest country hit of the 1990s. I believe Billy Ray and Miley are the only father/daughter duo that Al has parodied.
I fully believe the CIA must've bumped this. Also as a Latin American this it's a pretty accurate description of the CIA in third world countries. P.s. Please do "Albuquerque" (the animated video of the song) and "Like A Surgeon"
Oh shoot also should check out any of his Polka songs. "The Alternative Polka" and "Polka your eyes out" are some of my favorites. Thanks Cliff you rock man!
I've seen a lot of songs mentioned here and they are all great. I would like to request a little less known one. Trigger Happy is a fun one that was a favorite of mine for a few years when I was a kid.
You've covered quite a few of these things. You've almost wrapped them all up. Another parody song, with a good video is "Living With a Hernia". It helps, if you remember Rocky IV, and you're familiar with James Brown. Blues Brothers, Rocky III, and Doctor Detroit are probably good things to have in the back of your mind. It's not necessary, but they are good things to have experienced, to have an idea of James Brown's style.
the head of state at the end is the one he missed killing in the "that was not even on my list" part. The one of the silencer was the american dictator
The guy at the end was the same one who when he said the line "assassinate a head of state that almost got me dismissed" is the guy he was supposed to eliminate in that section
He does a short version of this song during his concerts, and he's played at Wolf Trap in northern Virginia, which is about 2 miles from CIA headquarters.
I'm going to throw in a recommendation for one that I don't think is on the official channel: the "Yoda Chant". It's something he does in concerts to spice up his song Yoda. It was just a brief bit of musical silliness, but over the years it's grown and grown and now it's something like over 3 minutes long.
So good! If you want to see some true lyrical genius, check out Bob next. And try to figure out what each line has in common! Only Weird Al could make such a thing sound like a Bob Dillan song
I'm subscribing just for the Weird Al reactions! You gotta cover UHF! Like, see the movie and do a video segment reacting to the musical segments? I don't know if that's doable but I'd love to see it!
I think the ending is is probably him being finally taken out by that Dictator, but because he smiled to show broken teeth right after that Better dental plan line, I like to think that it was part of the plan to be caught and he beat them all up and escaped.
lol the one that got him wasn't the one that he shot with his silencer on, you can see at 2:15 (it was his main "target" that got him, he missed him and shot...what Cheny? at 2:34 and 3:03 is where he killed the one with the silencer which was the middle target
I love this song! It's on my playlist! Great reaction! I concur! Haha Weird Al is awesome! I listened to him since he was on the Dr Demento show with other similar artists.
I thought Al used darts on the big guy and that's why he was still around at the end. But after checking it out again it was definitely bullets. Maybe the big guy was just the next big guy in line that took the place of the guy Al killed. I can't really think of a single Weird Al song that I don't like, other than maybe Pancreas.
Definitely gotta do foil by him next ♥️
^+1
It's gotta be! ^_^
Yess!!
foil is one of my fave's it does take a turn though lol
@@TXTrojan shhh 🤫
I was at work yesterday and Party In The USA started playing. I was not singing the Miley lyrics. I was singing this one. My coworkers were laughing their asses off.
its better anyway
@@jonathaslopes8038 Way better. This Disney teen, tween, bullshit gives me a fuckin headache. And that is the entire music industry these days.
I passed the U.S. embassy in London once and this song played as a ringtone behind the gates.
Another awesome one down, now we need: "Weird Al" Yankovic - Tacky
So much this!
Seconded
Hell yah lol
One More Minute. A Weird Al original that had me on the floor the first time I heard it.
My favorite of all his songs. So funny
Yes! That's my favorite of his original material. When I was a kid - which was in the 80s when it first came out - my friends and I had a whole routine worked out to that song. It was pretty frickin funny for 9 year olds
@@DonnaCPunk Then there's an occasional line in it you don't "get" until you're an adult....
YES, One More Minute Is a Great Doo-Wap song Weird Al original!!!
You Don't Love Me Anymore! Another one that I was on the floor laughing at!
If something ever happens to Weird Al (god forbid), the original artists should have a concert where they sing Al's version of their songs
I think you'd enjoy Weird Al singing The Night Santa Went Crazy
This one, and Christmas at Ground Zero should be done for Christmas.
Listening to that is one of my Christmas traditions.
If there's a video for "The Night Santa Went Crazy," he *has* to use the fan-animated Claymation version.
YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS LOVE THAT SONG !!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants him to react to it.
3:30 “I wonder if anyone in the CIA pumps this”?
Me:that’s classified! 🤣😂
The guy who grabbed him at the end is the guy he missed in the beginning, when he accidently shot the wrong guy. Again, I recommend either "Dare to be Stupid," which is done in the style of Devo, or "Bob," which is done in the style of Bob Dylan.
TO ANYBODY WHO SUGGESTS "BOB"
Please don't reveal why the song is so special before he does a reaction to it.... Let's see if he figures it out himself 😁

It actually was his first target, the one he missed and accidentally terminated the wrong one.
rookie mistake
Gotta do “Handy” next.
I remember Al explaining in an interview once that he actually does syllable counts on the original songs so he has a baseline to work with when it comes to rewriting the lyrics for the parody.
Like a Surgeon by Weird Al
Noticed the thumbnail for "Your Horoscope For Today" at the end. I would LOVE to see your reaction to that one!
Tacky is a must listen to. I love it! And the video is great!!!
I feel so old seeing the Weird Al songs you're asked to play. Haven't seen Like a Surgeon yet, for instance. Well, comedy is mostly recognition based and most of the new songs I can't link, never have heard the originals. Just putting it out there.
This is a good one, also the only one Weird Al ever did by request!
Al specifically writes his parodies such that you don't need to know the original song to enjoy the humor. In fact, half of the songs on his albums are not direct parodies and are original songs by Al. Many fans will tell stories how they never heard the original song until much later in life.

YES!! One of my favorites. Thank you!
Gotta do Foil and We’re all Doomed.
This was the second time that a song written by a Cyrus was parodied by Al. He did Billy Ray’s “Achy Breaky Heart” back in the day as well
Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota. My favorite original, and I have it memorized.
Albuquerque: The Movie next!
Please do "Handy", "Foil", and "The Ebay Song". You'll be laughing for days.
Al's been doing this, since I was tiny.
Always top notch, and respects the original artists.
the guy that survived was the guy where al killed the head of state by mistake, and missed his real target (the guy at the end)
Gump is also an excellent choice also
I forgot about Gump! That would be a rad choice!
Yes, do foil
I fully believe the CIA must've bumped this. Also as a Latin American this it's a pretty accurate description of the CIA in third world countries.
P.s. Please do "Albuquerque" (the animated video of the song) and "Like A Surgeon"
You've got to watch The Night Santa Went Crazy!
Seeing the cartoon version of weird Al is just the best. 😁
Please do “Foil”!!!
You need to do "Good Enough for Now" and "One More Minute", both originals
Definitely you'll love TACKY!!!! It's a parody of Happy...
I think you would die laughing at “Handy”, parody of Fancy by Iggy Azalea😂😂
The cia publicly loves this song
Yes, please more Weird Al thank you.
Weird Al - Since You've Been Gone
Oh shoot also should check out any of his Polka songs. "The Alternative Polka" and "Polka your eyes out" are some of my favorites. Thanks Cliff you rock man!
You like word-play. Check out "Bob". Even has a solid video. "Do geese see God"?
Albuquerque!!!!
This is one of my faves from Al's more recent music. Thanks for posting it.
I've seen a lot of songs mentioned here and they are all great.
I would like to request a little less known one.
Trigger Happy is a fun one that was a favorite of mine for a few years when I was a kid.
Weird Al is the Mozart of Lyricists.
Great as always! Next has gotta be // Foil \\. A good followup thematically with this one.
Foil please 😂😂😂
Yes! More Weird Al 😂, thanks Cliff - have a great day.
You've covered quite a few of these things. You've almost wrapped them all up. Another parody song, with a good video is "Living With a Hernia".

the head of state at the end is the one he missed killing in the "that was not even on my list" part. The one of the silencer was the american dictator
Yoda by Al is downright prophetic- and hilarious!
Weird Al - Biggest ball of twine in Minnesota
Word Crimes is one of my favorite Al Yankovich songs!
Everyone always forgets about "night Santa went crazy" lol always my fave
Weird AL is the best. A treasure ❤️
I'd recommend The Rye or The Kaiser (Theme From Rocky XIII) it's a lesser know gem of his.
The fact that it's animated with all it talks about is so crazy.
Genius recognizes genius. ;-)
I'm so happy you finally got to this one. Can't wait to see your reaction!
The guy at the end was the same one who when he said the line "assassinate a head of state that almost got me dismissed" is the guy he was supposed to eliminate in that section

Jackson Park Express is one of my fav original songs. I like it because there is no talking of characters only thoughts.
Cliff Beats- “He tried to torture me… but all I told him is everything he wanted to know.”
Have to do “Genius in France” off of “Poodle Hat”! But who am I kidding, basically anything off of that album is gold
Foil for sure but also Livin’ In The Fridge. Both so good.
So good!
If you want to see some true lyrical genius, check out Bob next. And try to figure out what each line has in common! Only Weird Al could make such a thing sound like a Bob Dillan song
Yes! I've been dying for some more Weird Al! Love it!
To answer you question.....no, they do not play it at the C|A.....but it is played in other agencies to make fun of them 🤷🏼♂️ 😂
I'm subscribing just for the Weird Al reactions! You gotta cover UHF! Like, see the movie and do a video segment reacting to the musical segments? I don't know if that's doable but I'd love to see it!
Phony Calls! It's a parody of TLC Waterfalls! Hilarious!
your horoscope for today is his newest song I think. you can see it is suggested after this song is finished.
The guy in the end was the target he was supposed to take out but shot the head of state.
bro an artist hasnt made it until AL made a parody. period
the GOAT of parody hands down
I love this song. My girlfriend used to have this for a ringtone for a friend of ours that worked for the CIA. Lol
Love the silencer sound effect.
Al is the G.O.A.T.
Casting my vote for Weird Al “eBay” next.
“It’s got to be their them song” lol
I Love Rocky Road & Living With a Hernia
I will never NOT want more Weird Al.
WHY DOES NO ONE SUGGEST ALBUQUERQUE??!! maybe because it’s not a parody of a specific song, just a style. but it’s 11:23 of pure hilarity
Loved the reaction. You gotta try The Hu's Wolf Totem!
Confessions part 3. Parody of Ushers Confessions..... so good!!
I think the ending is is probably him being finally taken out by that Dictator, but because he smiled to show broken teeth right after that Better dental plan line, I like to think that it was part of the plan to be caught and he beat them all up and escaped.
I've seen quite a bit of Weird Al's videos in the past, but I have never seen nor heard this one before. It was good. Funny parody. 👍🏿😂
lol the one that got him wasn't the one that he shot with his silencer on, you can see at 2:15 (it was his main "target" that got him, he missed him and shot...what Cheny? at 2:34 and 3:03 is where he killed the one with the silencer which was the middle target
"I Can't Watch This" - "Weird Al" Yankovic. Parody of "U Can't Touch This".
How? If you've got it, you've got it. Turn the Page becomes Burn the Rage while Sex and Candy becomes Gex and Brandy
Cliff Beats
More Weird Al Yankovic, please.❤
most accurate documentary on the CIA and set to music
I love this song! It's on my playlist! Great reaction! I concur! Haha Weird Al is awesome! I listened to him since he was on the Dr Demento show with other similar artists.
Still gonna vote yoda with you being a star wars fans
CIA Officer, not agent. Granted, you never get to quit. There's no such thing as "Ex-CIA Officer."
gotta love it
I love cold war spy fiction & this parody was absolutely perfect for me.
I thought Al used darts on the big guy and that's why he was still around at the end. But after checking it out again it was definitely bullets. Maybe the big guy was just the next big guy in line that took the place of the guy Al killed.
I can't really think of a single Weird Al song that I don't like, other than maybe Pancreas.
Living with a hernia parody of James brown
Epic weird Al track
Legendary
You should do Weird Al's Albuquerque. It's an original of his and is EPIC.
You should do some side by sides of parody and original videos
the night santa went crazy!
