![CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD.. | Coolio - Gangsta's Paradise (feat. L.V.) [Official Music Video] REACTION!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Dqt7H4bDHtg/mqdefault.jpg)
If, god forbid, Weird Al should pass from this world, there should be a tribute concert where the original artists sing the parodies of their songs.
The music industry as a whole will have suffered a tremendous loss
I would pay good money to see Lady Gaga perform "I Perform This Way"
This... is a brilliant idea.
YAASSSSSS!!!
A lot of the OG artists are older than AL so they’ll likely pass before him...like MJJ RIP. But, this is a fantastic idea.
At first Coolio was angry because he thought this was a kind of dis track and wanted to sue Weird Al...but then Coolio's album sales jumped up and they became friends because he saw the it was just a joke
Al always clears it with the artist he's going to spoof. Evidently Coolio asked him "It's not going to be about food, is it?"
@@HemlockRidge no that was Curt Cobain.
Al got permission from Coolio’s people but didn’t realize Coolio didn’t even know about it. That’s why he now makes sure that he’s spoken to the artist directly.
Technically because it’s a parody, he doesn’t need to get permission but he believes that’s disrespectful to the artist & if they say no, he respects the no
@@invisigoth510 yes, because Prince, ( far as I know), said no.
@@RandomPau unlike Michael who got a kick out of it. If you notice - eat it - he wore the same clothes
That's really not what happened at all, though.
Coolio's managment lied to Al and told him that they got his permission, when they did not, but Al thought that he had the go-ahead. Coolio then later found out about it and believed that it was done without permission and believed that his original song's message was "too important" to be made fun of. Weird Al ALWAYS gets the permission of the artists and even did before this, and later smoothed it over with him after they both became aware the "permission" incident was just a misunderstanding.
A Weird Al parody is better award than a Grammy.
I think it was Kurt Cobain that said "I knew I had made it when Weird Al made a parody of me"
Because you like to laugh and we like seeing you giggle.
Yes!! And after all, weird Al is for comedy. Definitely not supposed to be taken seriously. So I'm glad Mr Video laughed!
@@2legit2quitNow yes exactly.
Definitely love seeing Leo laugh, smile and giggle.
Laughter is contagious
Nice comment
Beginning of song - what are you people doing to me, recommending this song???
End of song - singing along.
😃😃😃
😆😆😆
It's the Weird Al experience.
I live outside of Lancaster PA, and part of their beliefs is that they should not adorn themselves with fancy things.. They do use the buggies, and do not have electricity.
Used to live in the area myself and every damn Sunday morning was awakened to the sound of dozens of horse drawn buggies on the way to church. However, I'm an herbalist and there was a nice lady who taught me some of their old remedies. I also learned how to powwow. More recently many are turning to the "New Order" Amish, they DO use cars and have cell phones and proclaim that people and their beliefs MUST change with the times or slowly fade into nothing.
@@FilthyBitchGunClub wow. I don't know that much. I think we might have more Mennonite around here than Amish.
@@kristinewenrich2779 I found out when I went to a restaurant and the waitress was full blown Amish (New Order) She was in the traditional garb, little bonnet and all. I noticed her cell phone and, as I am wont to do, asked directly. She actually sat with me and explained their New Order to me. It was really interesting talking to her.
@@kristinewenrich2779 my ancestors on one aide are all Mennonite.
There's an Amish community way south of me in Illinois. Arcola, IL or Arthur, IL I think... It's pretty rustic, man. But this particular community was a little more modernized-- they had phones and electrical, and I was even tasked with installing a computerized POS system in their main restaurant.
TV suuuuuuuuuuuucked in that town, though. And I was stuck there for a week.
In Al’s four decades of parodies, the butter-churning bit might be the greatest “oh no he didn’t just go there” moment.
Idk... for me it was "the little omelets want to be like" 😂
Where I live, within the county and surrounding counties there’s a huge Amish Community. They bake and make a lot of homemade products. There is a saying around here if you go to their bakery and it’s “Are you going to buy Amish Crack?” Their products are amazing especially the donuts and donut holes. It’s like you can’t eat just one item. You have to buy so many to make it to the next visit. Through and through they are some of the best people we have in our community. And it pains me so when people don’t pay attention and crash into their horse drawn buggies. Thanks Leo! Love ya lots! ❤️🥰
Receiving a parody of one of your hits from Al is a HUGE badge of honor in the music industry. Even artists that might "complain" about it in public will tell you they are more than thrilled in private :-)
lol, not Coolio. At the time this came out he was all kinds of pissed.
@@Scubaguy80 Yeah, I do remember that, but ask him now :-)
When he wanted to do a parody of Dire Straits "Money For Nothing", he called Mark Knopfler to ask his permission. Knopdler agrred but only if he was allowed to play lead guitar on the song. Yankovic agreed.
Thats legit when you know you've made :)
He has received permission from every artist he parodied before he did it (he thought Coolio had also given permission, but Coolio's label had misrepresented it), even though it isn't legally required.
I just noticed Florence Henderson is the woman in the barn. She played Carol Brady in The Brady Bunch. And the how he worked the end of the Gilligan's Island theme song in the song😅😆🤣
Yeah, I have a feeling our man is too young to get some of theses jokes.
True, but he's an "old soul" & that's definitely cool.
Not to mention a Prince reference (party like it's 1699) and Pulp Fiction era Samuel L. Jackson (gonna get medieval on your heiney).
@M 40 🤣🤣
I just noticed that he lip synced the whole last part backwards. Crazy impressive
The woman he sings to is Florence Henderson. She was Carol Brady on The Brady Bunch. I rode in an elevator with her when I was 10. She patted me on the head. LOL
I was getting on an elevator at the Vanderbilt plaza and Roy Rodgers was getting off. Thats my elevator story.
She patted a lot of boys in their heads lmao
This is actually a really amazing video! The part where Al walks through the reverse footage at the end required him to learn the entire verse backwards so his mouth would move properly during editing.
Weird Al has "ruined" many songs for many people. Whenever the actual song comes to mind, the Weird Al lyrics always slip in.
Yoda YoYoYoYo Yoda
Guilty!
@C S He always gets permission from the artist, before doing a song. People say you know you made it when Weird Al does one of your songs. Lightin up, it's just to make people laugh.
Exactly. I cannot hear gangsters paradise without singing Amish instead. 🤣
He has saved me from annoying songs, Like Handy
When a girl walks by he churns the butter faster. Lol
Yeah, that was funny. Not as pious as he claims.
Yes!
Al has a lot of thinly veiled NSFW humor that I am just now noticing.
Yeah he's pumping that thang hehehe 😂
My favorite part! 😂
Weird Al is a parody genius. He puts his all into his videos. You knows you have something special when Weird Al asks your permission to do a paordy of it
🤣🤣Loved your reaction- The Amish are really how he “explains” in the song- They live without power, etc.. They also bake some of the best homemade (obviously) cakes and breads you’ll ever eat!! If you ever run across a place where Amish food is sold, try it!! ❤️💜✌️✨
@DLAnder absolutely! Everything is QUALITY! For sure!!
Absolutely! I spent a pretty penny in Pennsylvania for things that they made. Some of the best I've ever had even in 5 star restaurants.
Stay safe..
🇺🇸☮🇺🇸
He's in Ohio - won't say where out of respect - but he just needs to drive a short distance and he'll find a lot of amish or mennonite areas to explore. My favorite place is the barn. Where i moved to you'll see a buggy once in a while
@@andreadeamon6419 Ohio--when you look in the rural county white pages and there are hundreds of Yoders
@@deliagolden3742 well 99.999% are not in a phone book. You have to drive by and read the mailboxes
🤣😆😂 Don't go down the Weird Al rabbit hole, you won't be the same after lol.
That being said, Eat It is my all time favourite 😄
too late! :D
"Fat" was the first music video I ever saw on MTV 😂🤣😂 Might have been 7 or 8yo 😂🤣😂🤣😂
When the parody of more popular than the original 🤣
fat not better than bad naah
@@thejackson5thirdalbum955 Your username says it all tbh
@@GenerationalDisappointment uh?
@@thejackson5thirdalbum955 Was it really that hard?
@@GenerationalDisappointment wtf
In case you didn't know, the Amish live like it's 300 years ago.
No electricity, no machines, strict religious lifestyle.
Well, they'll use modern tools and such, but are forbidden to own them, some Amish start businesses and they partner up with an "english" (non amish person) who technically own the tools they use. I used to be a trucker and have picked up loads at many Amish owned sawmills. Nicest people you will ever meet.
Shout out to Weird Al for learning to do that near the last verse all backwards so that his lips synced with the video! Absolutely incredible work!
I was SO hoping that you'd do this pretty quickly after "Gangster's Paradise." And your reaction was PRICELESS!
The Amish do indeed sell brooms at discount price: and they're pretty good quality.
When an Amish needs a barn the whole community pitches in and has a barn raising. If we would do that and work together things would get done but we are all self absorbed
@@darrindickens5227 The 'powers that be' prefer the people in disarray.
Their quilts are pretty awesome too.
"Why!???"
(laughs hysterically)
That's why.
Back in the day getting a call from Weird Al to cover your song was a major badge of honor.
Your reaction is hilarious 🤣🤣
Fun facts, the blonde lady at the beginning played the mother in the Brady Bunch show (60's-70's)
And the lines " there's no phone, no lights, no motor car, not a single luxury. Like Robinson Curoso it's as primitive as can be" is part of the theme song from famous tv show Gilligan's Island 50's-70's
Florence Henderson is the blond lady.
@@lisamorrison2149 THANK YOU!! I could not think of her name to save my life. Lol
Thank you Hippiemama, I never realized that he was quoting the gilligan's island theme song until I relistened to it. th-cam.com/video/yfSLuEj99d0/w-d-xo.html
@@jimkata77 you're very welcome. I grew up watching reruns when I was little.
Nice nugget of knowledge there
Weird Al has just gotten better and better over the years. I think he even has a Grammy. For years he was underrated as a legit artist, he can perform as a high level pro. All the artists he lampoons give him permission beforehand. And he is really good besides his silliness. Also very clever lyricist and a complete ham. Very few, if any, like him.
There was a awards show on tv awhile back and Wierd Al and Coolio came out and announced the winner and Wierd Al was dressed just like Coolio and even had his hair done up just like how Coolio looked!!!! I really like your reactions!!! Keep up the good job!!!!!
It's an honor to get your song parodied by Weird Al
what you just saw was art. all of Al's songs are works of art, that is why the artists hope he does one of their songs.
Bro...if you gonna do Weird Al, you HAVE to do my theme song...WHITE AND NERDY!!!!!
I did it already
He already did that one!
I believe your other Weird Al theme song (as well as mine) is IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PENTIUMS. What kind of chip you got in there? A Dorito?
lol
Artists consider it an honor to have Weird Al parody their song(s).
Oh wow now you get check out Weird Al's parody of R. Kelly's Trapped in the Closet called Trapped in the drive-thru.
Yesss!!! This!! Love Weird Al's cover of that song!
That was in Lancaster Pennsylvania very close to where i live and thats really an Amish community
Lol! Okay next, do James Brown "Living In America" and then Weird Al Yankovic - "Living With A Hernia".
YES!!! Do both, like a part one and part two!
You cannot deny the genius that is Weird Al.
The Wife and I have seen Weird Al in concert several times now and he's been absolutely fabulous everytime.
The highlight was when he came down into the audience one time, sat on my wife's lap and sang the opening to The Saga Begins to her...
My God, this gives me throwback vibes to my teenage years. We barely were taught English in school, but EVERYONE knew the lyrics in my age group and heavily used them 😂 same with 'eat it' and 'fat'. Weird Al is a frigging genius wordsmith. I recommend you listening to all of his songs. Just all. You'll be good. And my usual additions:
Seeed - Dickes B (a German group, my next favorite song is 'dancehall Caballeros')
The Dead South - in hell I'll be in good company
2cellos - thunderstruck (yes, ACDCs thunderstruck. Most. Epic. Cover. Ever.)
Have a great day, we all love your reactions 💜✌️
Have you ever seen The bad piper's version of Thunderstruck - well worth a look.
@@esthermclauchlan3146 holy shit!!! Why haven't I heard that before?! Thanks for that great suggestion, that guy is awesome.
If you so felt up to it
A double feature day
Nirvana - Smells like Teen Spirit
Weird Al - Smells like Nirvana
This is the only parody that got Weird Al in "trouble". Coolio didn't approve it, and there was some confusion about it. Weird Al thought he had the green light.
I love these reactions. You definitely give me a good laugh.
IDEA: You should do a whole Weird Al series! You could watch the original video, and then Weird Al's parody, in the same video!
When Al first came out with Fat, muchmusic did a splitscreen of it and Bad. Weird Als timing was dead on. Crazy good
the lady sitting by Al in the video is ... Mrs. Florence Henderson yes the lady who played Mrs. Brady in the 70's tv series The Brady Bunch, she agreed to be the famous woman to play Michelle Phiefers place in the video since she was unavailable at the time they made the video for this song because this song was used in Coolios video to promote the movie she starred in called Dangerous Minds which cane out in in 1993.
Morning Mr. V. This is a real nut case, but he's funny as hell. . 🤣🤣. 👍👍. Luv u 😍
Ha! Ha! You had to do it! I'm so glad you did. Thanks, I will keep on laughing with you! "Just Eat It" is another good one from Weird Al.🧡
The end of this video is amazing, the fact that they did everything backward, then ran that backward so it looked like it was forward.
The Amish do their own thing in a very simple way. No technology. Just working hard with their bare hands.
Weird Al is definitely a lyrical genius. All artist take it as an honor to have him write a parody to their songs. They always are funny too. The Amish are actually like that too. Awesome video...
I love when you start to sing, silly man. It just makes me smile. You provide a little slice of sunshine to most of us stuck at home because of the pandemic(hard hit L.A. County). We are grateful. Glad you pulled up this song. Flip side of Gangsters Paradise. Thanks for reacting to it. Stay safe.
I lived for 20 years within view of an Amish dairy and tobacco farm. A family with ten children. Tell you what, they had great senses of humor and came over in their buggy when our neighborhood had a garage sale. They also tell "naughty" jokes. Al has a great voice, gets the approval of anyone he parodies. Did a few of Michael Jackson's.
There are so many references to old school stuff in this video!
"No phones, lights.. " is the theme from Gilligan's Island, the barn falling is Buster Keaton, and the one Amish lady is actually Michelle Pfeiffer who started in the movie "gangsters paradise " is in!
Actually the blonde Amish lady was Florence Henderson aka Mrs Brady from the Brady Bunch. Sorry to correct you just thought you'd like to know. Hope you have a great evening 😉
Love seeing those ankles though, so risque.
if you didn’t know, this is genuinely how amish people are in modern day lmao. i live near many of them and i can bet that like 95% if not all of them don’t even know this song exists lmao
Man it is so entertaining to see you giving in and laughing in spite of yourself. Weird Al has that effect on people. Love your Weird Al reactions,
You have to admit that Al is a potent lyricist. He is one of the only people in music that can be taken seriously. How's that for irony?
Glad you are able to upload so many previously blocked videos.
U don’t know how much of a relief this is man they block back to back
@@MrVideo123 You spent a great deal of time and energy on those. It would be a relief for folks to be able to see all of your efforts. You worked hard.
What i love most about Weird Al's songs is that whenever you hear the original song, you cant help it not hearing a few Weird Al lines at the least.
Personally i find that an improvement in general because ... it puts a smile on my face and we all need a smile every day dont we? :D
Either way, Weird Al is a genius adn we can never have enough of him and his comedy :D
Thnx for the upload man :D
Guy puts on a great show. I saw him at my local amusement park Carowinds back around 1985 and I really enjoyed the show. Glad you covered this one.
Lot of fun.
Let's take a moment and notice his talent. The last scene was all played in reverse yet his mouth was synced with the words. That means when he recorded it he was backwards lip syncing. Damn that is goodd
Weird Al is a comedic genius 💯
You should check out the actual original song by Stevie Wonder - “pastime paradise”.
Now that’s a banger! 😎
Edit: Just found out Stevie, Coolio and LV all performed it together at the 1995 Billboard charts. Wow!
Those of you interested, need to check it out!
Man your reaction was hilarious! So glad you did this back to back with Gangsta's Paradise. That just makes it even better! Keep up the great work brother and have a good weekend.
"Why? ..... *silence* ... bursts into laughter." That's exactly why. Sometimes it's just fun to be silly, nothing is all that serious
The Amish adhere strictly to the old reformed Puritan Christian traditions in which they work toward salvation, embrace chastity and sanctity in marriage, and resist modernity and any technological advancement.
Fun fact: Al literally did his own stunts in this video, including standing in one spot as the giant barn frame fell down over him. He said that was the dumbest thing he’d ever done because he easily could’ve been killed.
👏👏👏 Keep on rocking partner.
So far, I've watched about six people "react" to this Weird Al video. None of them noticed (or at least commented) that the sequence near the end with Al walking through the barnyard was filmed in reverse. Al learned to lipsync the words BACKWARDS and then walked backwards through the scene. It was then played in reverse in the final edit. Masterful and very difficult.
That song will get stuck in your head and every time you hear gangsters paradise, this version will pop into your head. Lmao
Check out “Save a Horse, Ride A Cowboy” by Big and Rich. It’s F’n hilarious but, it also sounds damn good. Try to watch the original video if you can.
Yes yes yes! The video is fantastic
Weird Al is a National Treasure :D
I Hope you follow the trend of watching an Al video when you can
The unfinished wall of the house falling on him like that is a Buster Keaton movie reference and it's said that if Weird Al does a parody of your song(s), you have made it
When you said, "I dont like yall. My subscribeds!subscribers! I busted out laughing!
No Amish don’t have phones, electricity, or government issued ID, they live off the land and how everyone use to live before the Industrial Age. He is not being disrespectful. Everyone appreciates and likes the Amish.
Get some psychedelic Rock in your life listen to “Electric Feel” by MGMT
That video is pretty weird, right?
@@FilthyBitchGunClub Kids os the better MGMT option
Riley Brock yes
This is unfunking believable! I love the honesty in you reactions keep smoking and sharing and definitely keep smoking,much love
Al doesn't just do parodies-he does a lot of research and pulls video ideas from a lot of sources. The scene where they're doing the barn raising and the frame falls around it is based on a scene in a 1928 Buster Keaton silent film.
He’s an amazing Canadian parody artist. You could spend all week on him alone
RUSH is always at the top of my list when I think of Canadian musicians. Different level of awesomeness. UNLESS Weird Al did a parody of one of their songs, and I have yet to see it. Then bring it.
Weird Al is not Canadian, sadly.
Try “Closer” by Nine Inch Nails!
And then, Germs from Weird Al!
And "Closer" by In This Moment after that.
The Star Trek version? Or the original? Since we the subscribers have started down this slippery slope also known as the mind***k. Mwahahaha.
Seriously though, maybe get used to the original a while in future before you jump straight in with parodies. They are all classics and deserve their time of appreciation. It's not fair to you to spoil the deep connection that you showed to Coolio. As most of us did when we first heard also had. I'm sorry if that happened. We don't mean to steer you wrong. We're just a little excitable sometimes. It's infectious, in a good way.
I love watching your first exposure to the music that I have loved my whole life. Subscribing to your channel makes me smile, laugh, and sing every day. During lockdown, you have literally saved lives, I'm certain of it.
Alternatively, if you liked the comedy, Al has also done some Michael Jackson parodies, since he is more familiar to you. As always, brilliant reaction. Go with whatever you like, whatever appeals to you or however you choose to decide. There is great music to be found in every genre. Have fun. Enjoy it!
That is such a sexy song!
Oh my goodness young man you make me smile! I love listening to you giggle! You’re the highlight of this old ladies day! As soon as I get a little bit of money in my pocket it won’t be much but I’d like to become a patron.
Glad you had fun . Love your laugh and smile🧡
Since the holidays are coming soon, you should do Weird Al's song Christmas at ground zero
Please do Weird Al. Yankovic's version of James Brown's "Living in America" its hilarious but his version is called "Living With A Hernia"😄😄
This was the funniest videos you have done yet. Thanks for the laughs.
You're hilarious with your own comments and reactions! I don't think anyone complains to you about stopping the songs along the way bc we want to hear what you have to say.
You're one of the very few reactioners l watch for not only the artist being showcased but for your opinions as well and when you have friends along for the ride, it's the start of a party!
Keep on exploring different genres of music and i'll, along with others, keep watching and enjoying the ride along.
Lol, was that the Brady Bunch mom?
I just asked the same thing a few posts down. LOL
Yes it was her, aka Florence Henderson.
Gangster's Paradise was "from" a movie where a white lady (Michelle Pfeifer was an inner city teacher who taught all the black kids how to read. Florence Henderson is doing the Michelle Pfeifer role from the Coolio video.
He's hilarious, cheers to Al man.
in the second pre-chorus when he sings "there's no phone, no lights, no motorcar, not a single luxury. like Robinson Crusoe, it's as primitive as can be." Those are the words to the theme song of the old show Gilligan's Island. Also, Robinson Crusoe is a famous book about a guy shipwrecked alone on an island. That's also what Gilligan's Island was about; a group of people from a tour boat shipwrecked on an island.
Your reaction is hilarious just love Weird Al, I could see when you recognised all the parts from Gangsta's paradise so funny.
“The Ballad Curtis Lowe” by Lynyrd Skynrd it’s a song about a black man
with white curly hair...
Bro, The Amish is just down the road from you in Ohio, Cousin Figel
*hearts* you are soo cool, love your reactions, keep up the great work diggity
Hah! Mr. Video, you always give the people what they want! Not gonna lie, I'd never actually listened to "Gangster's Paradise" before you did it yesterday, but I've listened to this a hundred times, having been a young nerd growing up in a small town. I love it that I get to broaden my horizons with y'all. Fun stuff.
You gotta react to Wierd Al " Fat"
@grogdizzy oops, my bad 😂
He did lol
Hahahaha too funny
He did Bad and Beat It already.
You witness a genius
Mr.V dear one, majority of artists feel honored if Weird Al parodies their work, lol. I agree with you a few days in between videos would have been a better choice. I wish I hadn't seen this before because now when I hear the opening of the real song all I see is Weird Al churning butter and that's a disturbing image in my mind I wish would vanish.
I remember when both this version and the original came out. I am feeling really old right now. Great reaction man!
Zz top "pearl necklace" or "Jesus just left chicago"
If ya do "Jesus just left Chicago", ya gotta do "Just got paid" at the same time. It's tradition 😆
Check out "Foil" Weird Al is always hilarious. Have a great day!!!
he did eat it
HAHA YOU EDITED
@@thejackson5thirdalbum955 i saw that. 😊
@@swiftwind0678 😂
You're doing the funniest reactions :) Keep it up! Cheers from Germany
Dude, I'm not really into these reviews, but for some reason this came onto me recommend list. Weird All ha ha ha had to watch it. Was in stitches the whole time, both from him and yourself, awesome stuff man, and Hello from little New Zealand
Complete the trilogy and check out the original, "Pastime Paradise" by Stevie Wonder!
The merkins did a parody of it being sung by Freddy Krueger
Too funny. Try Buckcherry: Crazy Bitch
Wow. That's a good song but kind of risque.
I like how you went from "I don't like it yawl" to raising your hands in the air and singing along. Hard not to love Weird Al.
Man's a grammy winner how could you not like him
