+Julius T3rminat0r I'm assuming you're kidding, but incase you aren't, "weird" isn't his first name, its more of a title, his whole stage name being "Weird Al Yankovic".
These two men are national treasures. CBS, please option a show in which Weird Al and Jon Batiste drive around in a convertible and solve crimes and also have a musical number in every episode.
I am terrified of that idea what if I'm carrying an instrument I don't know how to play... Which to my knowledge is all the instruments... How bad I'd feel if this happened and I couldn't even play a single song.
"Dueling Banjos" "Yankee Doodle" "Meet the Flintstones" "Gimme a Break" -> "Nationwide is On Your Side" * _Late Show With Stephen Colbert_ intro * That is, Weird Al leads with "Gimme a break, gimme a break, break me off a piece of that" [Kit-Kat Bar] Jon Batiste finishes, "Nationwide is on your side~" ... Clearly, I watched the video :D
I love how the second one of them doesn’t remember the song, their love of music kicks in and their “rivalry” evaporates. Thats the mark of truly quality musicians. And the fact that he “forgot” the theme song fucking killed me XD
@blimeyification Yeah, but the bit is based on interactions between musicians, in which (assuming both musicians are nice people) if one of the musicians doesn't know how a song goes, the other will help fill them in so that they can both play along.
Okay weird al is actually really good at that. I guess when someone knows how to play it, it doesn't have to sound like a group of animals all dying at the same time.
whammo12 The comment was in reference to and a joke about the noise that the accordion makes to some listeners. It's very much like the sound of a poorly played set of bagpipes. I will say though that "Mull of Kintyre" is one of my most favorite of songs.
HEHEHE I AM A MASKED WARRIA probably to match the key of the version of the meet the flintstones that plays in the flintstones game where grand dad's bootleg was from or done to make people believe that they edited the part in
@@QuichePotatoes its literally just because the Melodica and Accordion have a limited range.... i assure you Jon and Al (and millions of other ppl) dont care about what key your cringey youtube channel jokes are in
Al's face when he emphasizes the phrases in the Flintstone's theme just kills me! And he's got that ironic look at the end down to a science!!! This is such a funny parody of The Dueling Banjos.
I had lunch with Weird Al once. He was a great conversationalist and was very into laughing at stupid jokes. Kind of what you would expect. He is a very accomplished accordionist.
😳🤯🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏💓💓💓I can't believe I never saw this before, but I'm so thankful I found it now!! Two of my favorite people & the greatest musicians-- Jon & Al, plus add in the Colbert opener, almost too much for me to take, I love them so much, I'm dying!!! Thank you so much for this wonderful gift!!!💓💓💓👏👏👏✌️
Two of the most infectiously happy musicians on earth, engaging in one of the most infectiously fun pastimes on earth, with novel/uncommon instruments... on the late-night show of another infectiously joyful person? You are a fool, algorithm, for not notifying me 4 years ago--you've never really 'known' me after all...
+Sunday101 So are you saying that *all* of the Top 40 Hit Singles for the past 40 years were only songs by Madonna, Michael Jackson, and Weird Al Yankovic?
@@AtariBorn I feel like knowing Al he'd openly put a brick into the glove and it wouldnt even be hidden it'd just look like a glove on a brick... Then that's how the duel would start... Also you don't take paces before trading blows you take paces before shooting so they'd never strike one another past intial slap. Anyways given the fact Al is a super nice guy whose mostly in it for the joke you wouldn't even laugh till the brick hit your face and you realize it was a stress ball.
Two artists with high integrity and warm genuine personalities.
who also just happen to be paid better than millions of people worldwide because "They play music well," and people actually trying to stop bad shit like pollution and starvation are ignored.

+Eckohx7 No, no. It's "Weird Al" Yankovic. The "Weird Al" part coming from a college radio show he had.
and Jon isn't his whole first name... It's Jean-Baptiste, so there is some symmetry there.
@@juliusgreen9179 I read that's what they called him in school and he decided to use it professionally. It stuck.
Dude I'm still laughing! So good! LoL

I support this notion .
I second that emotion ‼️
Ummm. Yes. Get me a spec script
@@easykial On it.
Take all my money... it's not a lot.
I laughed SO HARD when Al played the beginning of the Kit Kat jingle, only to have Jon reply with "Nationwide is on your side". BRILLIANT.
I love the idea of Weird Al strolling down random hallways just killing it on the accordion
I am terrified of that idea what if I'm carrying an instrument I don't know how to play... Which to my knowledge is all the instruments... How bad I'd feel if this happened and I couldn't even play a single song.
The "Nationwide is on your side" response to the Kit Kat commercial made me laugh way harder than it should have
SAME
It's certainly a lot more amusing then the commercials that feature Payton Manning and that miscellaneous country singer :P
Dont forget the Flintstones theme
Me too lmao
It's the theme to the late show that 😂@@yoda908
weird al has the best expressions, his look of disgust is so scathing

The second one... I am dying! Poor Jon! :-D

That's a very long way of saying the joke went over your head
I loved the ending. True Al style, a duel that turns into a collaboration. Love it.
gimme a break! gimme a break, break me off a piece of that Nationwide that's on your side
+mybrainsondrums I laughed so hard at that :D
Being from outside the USA I didn't quickly catch what the tune was for nationwide...now it makes sense :D Brilliant catch!
I can never again hear "break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar without thinking of Laura Benanti's take off of Melania.
Promise to myself: When this over, find a venue anywhere on the Continent and see Jon live.
Man I'm so glad there's people like Jon and Weird in showbiz these days.
HOLY MOLY THAT WASN'T EDITED THEY WERE NOT JOKING
It actually was edited: the SiIva version is pitched up for whatever reason.
HEHEHE I AM A MASKED WARRIA probably to match the key of the version of the meet the flintstones that plays in the flintstones game where grand dad's bootleg was from or done to make people believe that they edited the part in
I guess, but it actually doesn't match Grand Dad/Rescue of Dino & Hoppy (it's a few semitones higher).
HEHEHE I AM A MASKED WARRIA hmm likely it just sounded better to them highly pitched

Does this guy ever age? He's never looked older in his life does he keep the fountian of youth in that acordian?
*never
+metalshredmetal1
He is a vegetarian
Clean living. And a Twinkie Wiener sandwich (vegetarian) every day.
He's never given up on "today's" pop music, so his life is eternal.
Señor White Face you could have been talking about either one of them until you said "accordion"
There is a lot of love in this video...much respect.
I ship this musical bromance so much.
I had lunch with Weird Al once. He was a great conversationalist and was very into laughing at stupid jokes. Kind of what you would expect. He is a very accomplished accordionist.
He's the highest most famous and only accomplished professional accordionist.
You lucky.
Weird Al is the best... well, perhaps not technically the best, but arguably the most famous accordion player in an extremely specific genre of music.

GRAND DAD?!
I love weird al. He seems like such a genuinely fun guy
He is.
Definitely worth seeing in concert.
So I guess Al likes high quality rips as well.
I think weird al ages in reverse, he looks like a man who hit his late 20s and hit the pause botton on father time
This upload was very high quality! I hope weird al posts more rips like this one!

How did I miss this until now?? What a brilliant little act
Love these two!
OMG! This is the mashup I needed in my life!
That was gobbs of fun. Saw Al in concert, devoted to the end. Two true talents...
Oh, thanks for the needed smiles and laughs!
Oh my god grand dad is actually originally here

Fleenstones!?!??
Don't take the Lord's name in vain
@@meow97 in this case I asume by lord you mean grand dad?
The Flintstones had me laughing out loud!
Good old Wierd al, that's song at the beginning is the same one he plays for his whiplash parodie
Yeah, it's the Beer Barrel Polka, and he tends to play it really fast it's awesome.
Rest in peace.
Until December that is, when snow halates.
"Jon," "Weird." I'm already laughing!
Love Jon so much, he is always so humble and please
Love both these guys!! (Also, props to Jon for the Soul soundtrack!!!)
This should be a weekly thing. I can’t imagine it ever getting old. 🥰
wait, the fuking flintstones theme song was actually what he played on that part?lmao
GRAND
imagine if they actually did that because of the meme
+Brad Beautour maybe idk
but why else the flintstones be relevant in 2016
The Flintstones theme was based on the chord changes from a 1930's song, "I Got Rhythm" by George & Ira Gershwin ... Great jazz standard.
I love how 99% of the comments now are just GRAND DAD/FLEENSTONES
This is heartwarmingly wholesome!
So much love, two of my faves

I would love to see these two get together for real on the show. It looks like they would have great chemistry.
Did you know that only 3 people have had Top 40 Hit Singles in the past 4 decades? Madonna, Michael Jackson and Weird Al Yankovic :D
+Sunday101 Prince came close. He had them in the 70's, 80's, 90's, and then in the 10's (after he died).
+Sunday101 So are you saying that *all* of the Top 40 Hit Singles for the past 40 years were only songs by Madonna, Michael Jackson, and Weird Al Yankovic?
Yes, I'm also confused.
+Sunday101 I don't think that's true. Can you give a source?
***** I think Sunday101 was trying to say only 3 people have had top 40 singles in the past 4 decades. Not that he has had a top single each decade
Absolutely brilliant
Al brought the high quality video game rips.
I'm not sure I follow.
Jon Batiste and Stay Human actually have a habit of playing songs from older video games.

Totally awesome! Loved the ending...that's the way real musicians "duel" ;-)
They forgot to slap the other person with a inspection glove before turning and taking 7 paces until they've both stepped off the floor piano.
@@jocomfiresin6982 We all know how that ends. Al putting a brick in his glove, just before the final blow.
