Never underestimate Captain Purple!!! (My husband surprised me 2 years ago with a Donny Osmond Action Figure - I lost my original in the 70's when we moved.) 🥰
Even if you don't love Rob Schneider he was killing it with Donny and Marie this day and they were both crying laughing th-cam.com/video/3pp79i7aDR8/w-d-xo.html
What's better, Weird Al didn't know what Donny was doing the entire time. Only when they watched the rewind footage did he see, and laughed hysterically.
Donny comes into the gas station I used to work at and dude definitely has an ego. Don't get me wrong, he is talented, but he's got a big head. I learned the first time he came in not to be like "oh you're Donny Osmond!" Cuz he will roll his eyes at you and brush you off. Watched him do it to customers too. F
According to Weird Al, he did. He said that he had come prepared having listened to the song several times before coming. It's funny that Al actually ended up using his hand motions on the part where he sings, the only question I thought was hard was do I like Kirk or do I like Picard. To me, as much as Donny has been kind of mocked over the years. This shows that he is an incredible professional at what he does. No one showed him anything, he just did that whole thing on his own.
Pianoman 70s style Where did he use his hand motions ? in the music video it is not shown when he says "the only question I thought was hard was do I like Kirk or do I like Picard."
RacmusDK In this video Donny uses the hand motions just after 2:26. I think that what I meant was that Donny's hand motions inspired the idea of putting the picture of Kirk on his right and the picture of Picard on his left. Then Al just looks right to Kirk then left to Picard. The idea in a sense though was Donny's to put one on one side and one on the other, because they could have just full screen pictured one then the other.
If he really did whip all that out on the spot, without coordinating with Al, then they're both frickin' geniuses. Donny doesn't just hit a ton of cues in the lyrics (a tribute to his prep, as Pianoman 70s style mentioned), the two of them even sync up at 01:54. If _that_ wasn't rehearsed then it's pretty damn epic.
He's always been amazing. They don't call the family the "One-Take Osmonds" for nothing. And I'm sure Weird Al's well aware nobody's watching a thing he does in this video. I'm so thankful this exists.
They did at least one other take. If you watch the part where he says "pop pop" Donny isn't doing the move he does in the final video, which IMO fits the lyric way better.
I've watched this video several times, and just noticed: (a) how the padded shoulders in Donny's jacket help accentuate the "nerdiness" of his dance moves (good costume choice!) and (b) the finger-spelling at 2:04 of ROTFLOL, at what (to me) is blinding speed. And yes, the man is also funny as hell to watch. Thanks to both Weird Al and Donny for a great piece of work.
Donny Osmond defenatly stole the show on this. he was hilarious it was hard trying to concentrate on al while Donny was dancing like a goofball priceless
I didn't even bother watching Al this time around. I've seen the finished video so many times that getting to see this raw footage of just Donny dancing back there was a delicious, nerdy treat! =)
All the Osmond family members know sign language due to their 2 older brothers being hearing impaired. One is partially deaf and the other 80% deaf. Donny definitely steals the show in this green screen video!
I’ve known this parody for years, but I just saw this version a few days ago. That was the first thing I noticed... which is so fitting considering he has 2 deaf brothers. But he still makes it look like a dance move!
For as 'nerdy' as Donny's dance is, you can tell he's extremely talented by how well he keeps the tempo with the song. Sure the moves are hilarious, but also well timed and executed with intent.
Have loved Al for absolutely years and Donny? Well, I've loved Donny all my life. This may be his funniest work if I have to choose. Such a great sense of humour and also such a great sport. What a Legend!!!
This is my favorite video of this song, Al. Donny hams it up and is having such fun dancing, I can't take my eyes off him. I love when he spells ROTFLOL and syncs his arms with yours and just all the little things he does while you sing. 1:22 is a crack up. Thanks for asking such a white and nerdy and clean fellow to be in your video. Perfect pairing! :)
Donny Osmond is more than just a gifted, and extremely hard-working entertainer. He also has that indefinable "It" factor, and I've seen it with my own eyes. Years ago. when he was starring in a live musical, I was working in the wardrobe when he came in for a fitting. Even in a big busy room bustling with sewists, cutters, design staff and production people, he just naturally stood out: his smile dazzles naturally, the air seems energized around him. And that's a guy who isn't ON at the moment, he's just being himself in the workplace. So I have no doubt at all when Al says Donny just showed up on set, improvised an entire zany dance, and nailed it in a single take.
Donny Osmond had me in hysterics. I've never loved him so much as after seeing him boogie to the whole song. Well done! And of course, this song has to be one of Al's best! While many artists seem to wear out, Al just gets better.
OMG it's been years since this song and the parody vid came out and this is the first time I'm seeing this behind-the-scenes gold. I giggled from start to end 😂 damn you Donny Osmond HAHAHAHA
It takes both of you to make this as good as it is!! But Donny's contribution/inclusion in it kicks it into great! And watchable a million times and not ever getting sick of it. Brill!
This will always be the _true_ video as far as I'm concerned. This is _infinitely_ funnier, more entertaining, and just _better_ than the other version. Donny Osmond is a treasure.
Al, I’ve been a fan for close to thirty years. Thank you for being you, it made me feel like it was ok to be just me. Also, your movie with Mr. Radcliffe was fantastic.
Watched this over & over, Weird Al & Donny Osmond, that makes for a hilarious video! Could not stop watching Donny, his dance moves are amazing & so funny. Great job guys!
Donny is still wonderful after all these years! As a girl growing up in England, the big three pin ups were Donny, David Cassidy, and Michael Jackson. It is so tragic that David and Michael left us so young.
OMG this was the BEST part of my day. I loved this SO much... #DonnyOsmond is SUCH a great sport. He posted this on FB this afternoon. AWEsome..! The is the best video I've seen in a long time. You guys must have had a lot of fun with this. Love it #Alyankovic 🧠💖🙌🙌👍👍
I saw Al at the AZ State fair a couple of years ago, and when he did this song they had Donny on the huge screen doing his dance in the back, it was hilarious! I couldn't stop laughing, Love Al and Donny Osmand!!
I had no idea this existed. I was just looking for the original video and hit on this. I'm so glad I did. I love both versions. I too started to just watch Donny exclusively once I realized that this was indeed different from the original video. Same good song. Hilarious both ways. 🖐🖖🕺🤓
Weird Al, your as close to a god as a non divine white dude can get. And Donny Osmond deserves an Emmy for the effort put into this video. There shoud be an Osmond Version of the music video, just lettin him do his thang. Dude is gangsta!
I swear I was waiting for Donny to run out of dance moves but he NAILED it
fr
Ikr
Possibly the greatest performance ever in ever.
It's just an incredible take. Pure energy.
Never underestimate Captain Purple!!! (My husband surprised me 2 years ago with a Donny Osmond Action Figure - I lost my original in the 70's when we moved.) 🥰
The worst part about the music video is you lose about 90% of Donny's awesome dance.
261 likes and no replies y’all should be ashamed of yourselves
Yes, I actually like this better than the official video!
StarWarsomania when Al does this song live he shows Donny's dance in the background, usually on a huge screen
Agreed, I never watch the real one without following up with this one.
Even if you don't love Rob Schneider he was killing it with Donny and Marie this day and they were both crying laughing

with the outtakes
Donny Osmond singlehandedly turned "white guy dance" into an actual art right here
Yes awesome dancer😊
100% true
I am inspired
When I complimented on his great performance (and on King of Queens).
He actually told me personally, his own kids,, hadn't even seen any of it
@@DreamTimeForNow555 Well, someone can send them a link to youtube now. :D
donny is killing it
Agreed
yes
Crushed it. Whiter than sour cream.
Donny Osmond is a man who understands how to be an entertainer. No ego. Just pure self-poking fun. THANK YOU Donny for making me laugh today XO
Weird al as well
Having fun just for the sake of having fun seems to be disappearing in this world. We need more people like these two. 💜💜
I grew up watching the first Donnie and Marie Show.
Funny good time memories
@@starwarzfan71 ya don't say? *insert nicholas cage here
Donny comes into the gas station I used to work at and dude definitely has an ego.
Don't get me wrong, he is talented, but he's got a big head.
I learned the first time he came in not to be like "oh you're Donny Osmond!" Cuz he will roll his eyes at you and brush you off. Watched him do it to customers too. F
I'd like to think that Donny improvised that whole dance
According to Weird Al, he did. He said that he had come prepared having listened to the song several times before coming. It's funny that Al actually ended up using his hand motions on the part where he sings, the only question I thought was hard was do I like Kirk or do I like Picard.
To me, as much as Donny has been kind of mocked over the years. This shows that he is an incredible professional at what he does. No one showed him anything, he just did that whole thing on his own.
If he did he's a master
Pianoman 70s style Where did he use his hand motions ? in the music video it is not shown when he says "the only question I thought was hard was do I like Kirk or do I like Picard."

Can't stop staring at Donny Osmond.
Donny Osmond was a great additon to this video.
Big props to Al for keeping a straight face when he has Donny Osmond pretty much having the time of his life behind him.
I think that's the point, but I'm right there with you. Hahaha
I wouldn't watch this if didn't have Donny Osmond
I dont know who to look at.
I saw an interview with Weird Al. He said Donnie was truly a blessing from God. He showed ready to go and was amazing! They nailed it in 1 take.
Well it had to be at least two takes, because of the "pop pop I hope no one sees me get freaky" move of the song that's absent in this take.
In this take you see Donny's shirt getting more untucked as he goes. In the music video it is perfectly tucked in the whole time.
I love you, Al, but Donny's performance in this brings me a level of joy I can't explain.
well weird al proved with this song that he’s the epitome of nerdy, so donny used this dance to prove that he’s the epitome of white
Who else didn't take their eyes off Donny the entire time?
I tried.
Not possible. It's like my eyes did crack.
Yeah he’s a little bit country and a little bit rock n roll!!!
Same like Jim Carrey's "background guy" ILC... No one cannot be focused on the reporters...
that's the point.
He's always been amazing. They don't call the family the "One-Take Osmonds" for nothing. And I'm sure Weird Al's well aware nobody's watching a thing he does in this video. I'm so thankful this exists.
They did at least one other take. If you watch the part where he says "pop pop" Donny isn't doing the move he does in the final video, which IMO fits the lyric way better.
There are a butt load of comments all about Donny osmond
Donny is having a party all by himself! :D
Donny Osmond really committed to this haha what a gem
I've watched this video several times, and just noticed: (a) how the padded shoulders in Donny's jacket help accentuate the "nerdiness" of his dance moves (good costume choice!) and (b) the finger-spelling at 2:04 of ROTFLOL, at what (to me) is blinding speed. And yes, the man is also funny as hell to watch. Thanks to both Weird Al and Donny for a great piece of work.
When they recorded this, the song was being played back at 3/4ths speed, so it was easier for both of them to keep up.
Donny's two oldest brothers are deaf, so he's fluent in ASL.
@@aaronsebastian5156 That is an interesting bit of information, thank you!
I was dying laughing during the ROTFLOL part.
I believe the Osmond all know sign language due to 2 older brothers being deaf. Donny does sign language twice in this video.
Donny Osmond defenatly stole the show on this. he was hilarious it was hard trying to concentrate on al while Donny was dancing like a goofball priceless
I didn't even bother watching Al this time around. I've seen the finished video so many times that getting to see this raw footage of just Donny dancing back there was a delicious, nerdy treat! =)
Make fun of Donny's white guy dancing all you want but the fact is that he did 3 minutes straight of improv dancing and still made it look rehearsed
❤ ..he's absolutely 💯 Brill🎈
Holy crap! I just realized that Donny spells out ROTFLOL in sign language! 😀
Woah, you're right!!
He did not. He only got the L
One of his siblings is deaf IIRC, so he already knew how....nice to include it.
@@samsignorellitwo.. the two oldest brothers. The reason they started singing is to pay for hearing aids
@@IIllIIllIIllIIlloh ur fluent in asl?
Love this! You can tell Donny Osmond had a blast doing this.
The Time of His Life
Donny Osmond has a sense of humor and is humble enough to totally sell out for a Weird Al video. Cool dude.
It's basically the same ironic joke Al is doing: I sure wouldn't be able to rap oh wait I can.
You should see his appearance on Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. One of the few guests that knew what he was getting into.
He actually signed ROTFLOL? Damn!
They recorded the video at half speed as you can see in the Making Of.
All the Osmond family members know sign language due to their 2 older brothers being hearing impaired. One is partially deaf and the other 80% deaf. Donny definitely steals the show in this green screen video!
JohnRayTV Productions Rice
That was pretty impressive, lol
Nice catch!
I’ve known this parody for years, but I just saw this version a few days ago. That was the first thing I noticed... which is so fitting considering he has 2 deaf brothers. But he still makes it look like a dance move!
With absolutely no disrespect intended toward Al: Donny Osmond makes this entire video. Ho. Lee. Shit.
The 2 time.
Who here really thinks the Rabbit from The Masked Singer is Donny Osmond because of this video?
Dayflower J. No. He’s the peacock!
@@dayflowerj.3916 The Peacock for sure! Hope they put out a poster!
@@tenerifecats6652 I dunno, from what he said this past week it looks like Peacock is Weird Al! O_O =D
What Donny Osmond does is known as "stealing a scene." He's brilliantly hilarious in this.
The sentence is: Life in Prison....with only Weird Al videos to watch.
Oh and White bread & water.
Donny Osmond NAILED it! I've got a whole new level of respect - Genius Performance. If you upstage Weird Al, you're officially in the Pantheon!
For as 'nerdy' as Donny's dance is, you can tell he's extremely talented by how well he keeps the tempo with the song. Sure the moves are hilarious, but also well timed and executed with intent.
Donny Osmond is the best representation of White and Nerdy. Perfect!
When you’re home alone and decide to have a dance party, you dance like Donny Osmond
This comment from a year ago was prophetic. Nearly all of 2020 has been a Donny Osmond dance party in pajamas.
Only not nearly as good! :D
It’s so true!!
Have loved Al for absolutely years and Donny? Well, I've loved Donny all my life. This may be his funniest work if I have to choose. Such a great sense of humour and also such a great sport. What a Legend!!!

Thanks for asking such a white and nerdy and clean fellow to be in your video. Perfect pairing! :)
The best nerdy airplane dance, way to go donny, the airplane cracks me up every time.
14 years have passed and I still love everything about this video ❤
This will never cease to be absolutely hilarious! 😂
Yeah, the "Full Donny" cut!
Both Donnie and Al are seamless in this, but Osmond’s facial expressions just crack me up.
I have never seen anyone having so much fun as Donny is.
Wish he was my spirit animal.
I'd love to have that kind of energy and not give a damn what others thought. =)
I believe this is perhaps the greatest thing I've ever seen.
Holy crap. I am 55 years old and have NEVER had respect for Donny Osmond until this moment. Where did that come from?
I've always had a thing for Marie, but Donny was of zero interest.
Donny has a real 'goofy' side that made him absolutely adorable; and he still is. LOL
I think he's always been funny.
You should DEFINITELY check this out, then. Your respect for Donny’s humor will skyrocket!
th-cam.com/video/NfK74Bt8HVo/w-d-xo.html
Never had respect for Donny???? where have you been? Hahahaha! Welcome aboard!
Darn, that self-confidence in that dance-moves!
This is better than the actual video.

So I have no doubt at all when Al says Donny just showed up on set, improvised an entire zany dance, and nailed it in a single take.
Love Donny's enthusiasm, it's quite humbling
Donny's dancing was just.... awesome. He couldn't have done that any better, especially to fit with the music!
I can't believe I've never seen this. Donny going so hard in the paint is spectacular
IMO nothing will ever touch the dance moves of Donny Osmond! Can't stop rewatching! ❤️💋💋💋
Lots of people think I'm strange because I like Donny but then you got things like this and he shows why everyone should like him.
His actual songs are pretty shit though.
I love Donny Osmond and I'm a 12 year old
I love Close Every Door, I'll Make a Man Out of You, In it For Love, and his cover of If. I hope he releases covers of his Masked Singer performances.
Easily the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen Donnie Osmond do.
That was just phenomenal. I had no idea. So freaking good!!!
Donny Osmond had me in hysterics. I've never loved him so much as after seeing him boogie to the whole song. Well done!
And of course, this song has to be one of Al's best! While many artists seem to wear out, Al just gets better.
OMG! I have watched this at least 15 times. Quite possibly Donny's finest work, at least the funniest.
I'm tired just watching Donny. Amazing. His nerdy moves are perfect!
I actually did Donny’s dance twice today while watching this. It was sort of difficult, but it’s a workout
I’m glad I found this version. This should have been the original one posted 😂
I love both versions (especially with Key and Peele in the main one) but I love this one more.
Man, Donny worked his butt off on this one!
He does a live show in Las Vegas almost every night this was probably nothing but a quick exercise.
Donny's still got it!
OMG it's been years since this song and the parody vid came out and this is the first time I'm seeing this behind-the-scenes gold. I giggled from start to end 😂 damn you Donny Osmond HAHAHAHA
Those two have to be serious pros to not have had to do 100 takes because they cracked themselves up.
I love Donny's rocking out! He kills it! Then Weird Al cracks up at the end! :)
Loved Donny O. here! Amazing talent, gifted performer, and huge sense of humor!
It takes both of you to make this as good as it is!! But Donny's contribution/inclusion in it kicks it into great! And watchable a million times and not ever getting sick of it. Brill!
This will always be the _true_ video as far as I'm concerned. This is _infinitely_ funnier, more entertaining, and just _better_ than the other version. Donny Osmond is a treasure.
This is a whole lot more impressive when you consider that Donny was 49 or 50 when this was filmed.
I love that Donny is “signing” in some it! I learned to sign when I was a teenager because of him!
Al, I’ve been a fan for close to thirty years. Thank you for being you, it made me feel like it was ok to be just me. Also, your movie with Mr. Radcliffe was fantastic.
This is 12 years old but I never get tired of it....I love you Donny...and I love you Al!!! I have watched this numerous times.....
THAT is the funniest freaken thing I have EVER seen. Donny Osmond is HILARIOUS! I can't stop laughing...
Yes, Donny is an awesome performer
Watched this over & over, Weird Al & Donny Osmond, that makes for a hilarious video! Could not stop watching Donny, his dance moves are amazing & so funny. Great job guys!
Donny is awesome here.
Donny is still wonderful after all these years! As a girl growing up in England, the big three pin ups were Donny, David Cassidy, and Michael Jackson. It is so tragic that David and Michael left us so young.
How has it taken me this long to stumble upon this amazing video?! I saw Weird Al when I was in Middle School 15 years ago!
Donny cracks me up. 😂
Donny is the reason I can probably account for about 1,000 of the views this video has. Good God, he's iconic. :)
Bahaha...Weird Al and Donny. Best thing I’ve ever watched. Donny is killing it with those awesome moves lol 😂
the song gets old after several times like most songs do, but you can never get tired of weird al's motions and donny osmond's dancing!!!
Donny is KILLING it back there so sad he got cut out of almost the whole music video : (
Holy moly, did Donny _sign_ ROTFLOL at 2:04?!
I really wish I had as much energy as these two. Awesome!
I absolutely love this video. It will never stop being fun. Nice mood boost for anyone anytime of the day
Best Weird Al tune EVAH!!!! This video is even funnier than the official video..... Donny Osmond is flippin' hilarious.
I'm crying! I am frigin crying! Osmond is killing it! This is a fucking riot!!!
Wow. Donny kills it! Thanks for putting this up!
i have i never seen this- his dance is my favorite thing about the music video 😂
One of my favourite videos. Donny has got the moves down.
I've watched this so many times!!
DONNY OSMOND is so good... Thank you Al !!
why am I only finding this now, I've missed out on so much
Donny was a good sport doing this. He did a great job and really made the video.Remember he was about 51 when he did this.
Super-kudos for Donny. Amazing that he could roll with this and have a sense of humor. My respect for him has shot through the roof...
Wow!!! Donny's got monster moves, for sure! That is absolutely hysterical AND impressive!
Omg! I had forgot about this video! Al and Donny, I still love you two!
OMG this was so good - he was GIVING IT!
OMG this was the BEST part of my day. I loved this SO much... #DonnyOsmond is SUCH a great sport. He posted this on FB this afternoon. AWEsome..!
The is the best video I've seen in a long time. You guys must have had a lot of fun with this. Love it #Alyankovic 🧠💖🙌🙌👍👍
the expressions on their faces are priceless.
how did this suddenly pop up in my feed after 15 years? OMG Donny absolutely brought it.
I saw Al at the AZ State fair a couple of years ago, and when he did this song they had Donny on the huge screen doing his dance in the back, it was hilarious! I couldn't stop laughing, Love Al and Donny Osmand!!

how many people were just looking at donny nearly every second? ME
How could u not?😁He was the best part of the video, besides the song
@@stevenguerra1626 His dance might even be better than the song and that says a lot 😂
Between Donny's dancing and Als chicken necking I have to say this is one of the best things I've seen in a while.
Kudos to Donny for being able to keep a straight face. I love his face.
Donny is awesome. Werld Al is epic. Thank you all for creating this.
Weird Al is the living embodiment of my faith in the intelligence and humor of the human race.
The one million percent dedication in this video is absolutely amazing and should serve as an inspiration to all.
