The fact that some of the songs here aren’t even that recent just goes to show it’s been wayyy too long since Al last dropped one of these beautiful medleys.
@funk3nst3in Actually, this is not true. On Poodle Hat he had "The Real Slim Shady" in that albums polka melody. The same album, he parodies "Lose Yourself" as "Couch Potato." But, outside that? I'm pretty sure the statement is true after that.
The fact the Albuquerque animator actually got to work with Al nearly 20 years later is a remarkable circle of life. I couldn't be more excited that Weird Al did a new Polka.
In a world where big companies are sidelining actual artist and creators for ai, weird Al is out here funding and uplifting artist one music video at a time

I downloaded the Kik app to watch his biography but can’t find it on there what’s the problem with his biography why can’t I watch it I’ve been trying for years I don’t think it’s even real. Probably trying to be relevant. Probably will do a podcast next for clicks

Between Viv getting a spot, the dude who used to do those flash animations getting tapped for a segment, and the intensely creative censorship on WAP instead of opting for the radio edit, this may sit among my favorites.
Fun Fact: This holds the record of being the longest gap of when a new Weird Al polka gets released, within a whopping 6 years. Before, it was between Polkarama and Polka Face within nearly 5 years.
Forget the Grammys, the record sales, the streaming numbers, the tickets sold - this is the highest recognition the music industry has. Congratulations to the artists whose songs got covered - You've officially Made It 🎉
I can't remember who said it but there was one artist who said "until weird al has parodied one of your songs, you haven't really made it yet" funny enough I was watching a video where kids had to guess the 80's song based on still images from the music video. The used Weird Al's Fat, and everyone guessed Bad by Micheal Jackson they were so so wrong but I could tell right away
It's come full circle: when I first listened to Weird Al, I didn't know some of the songs in his medleys because I was too young; now I don't recognize them because I'm too old.
The fact this medley contains basically the last decade of pop music really truly emphasises the comparative lack of Weird Al during we've experienced for quite frankly too long. Also, oh my god, the "next!" lady is voiced by Dot Warner/Agnes Skinner/Daisy Duck/Mom from Futurama! This is unironically the greatest guest feature of any Weird Al song.
She was also the lady arguing with Al in Jerry Springer (off the Running With Scissors album). "I've also been sleeping with your pet goat!" "That goat don't belong to you!" They've been working together on and off for decades. :D
I can't get over the "flowers" segment it's such a wonderful tribute to past music videos. And all the artists did such a wonderful jobs on their segments.
everyone's surprised about the tributes to past weird al music videos, while i'm impressed that the animator for the fanmade albuquerque animation actually worked on uptown funk
A Weird Al video with Cyriak, Vivziepop, AND the guy who animated Everything You Know is Wrong? I think my brain just replaced ALL my cerebrospinal fluid with pure dopamine.
He got the animator from the the Fan “Now that’s what I call a Polka” Collab who animated the “I’m sexy and I know it” to animate “We don’t talk about Bruno” which makes me happy since I watched that video way too many times.
One of my son's talents is being able to sing along with literally every Weird Al song. As he had not said anything about this song's release, I assumed he was unaware. When he got up this morning, I suggested a game. I told him I picked an obscure song to test his talent. He sang along to the whole thing from memory. Apparently, he did know about it and the first thing he did when he woke up was listen to it enough times to already have it memorized by the time I said good morning to him.
Guys, I just realized something. We Don't Talk About Bruno comes before Vampire. We Don't Talk About Bruno ends with Weird Al getting crushed by a rock, and Vampire starts with him getting out of a coffin. I am pretty sure y'all get the implication.

people talking about vivziepop in the animators but really, everybody is talented in this! It's really hard to animate and I'm proud of everybody here.
Everyone’s talking about the Albuquerque animator but it’s also impressive that the animator for the “We don’t talk about Bruno” section actually was also an animator for a fan music video four years ago for Now That’s What I Call Polka. Great work, Jack D. Evans!
Right? I saw the thumbnail and thought it was new cyriak work and well, I wasn't wrong but I wasn't right either....either way im not dissappointed lol
2:26 WAIT ISN'T THIS THE GUY WHO DID THE ALBUQUERQUE ANIMATION ALL THOSE YEARS AGO?!?! Edit: rewatching this and I'm realizing freakin VIVZIEPOP AND LIAM LYNCH ARE IN HERE TOO WHAT
Everyone is talking about Vivziepop and RWappin (and rightfully so), but nobody is talking about, Jack D. Evans, who was a part of the fanmade "Now THAT'S What I Call Polka" animation collab! All three fan animators got to officially animate for Weird Al, and that's AWESOME!!! Edit: Want to also add that the Polka itself is amazing! Weird Al and his team did a great job at polka-ifying pop songs from the past decade! Was especially happy to see "Shake It Off," and have it be the finale nonetheless! Was surprised to see "We Don't Talk About Bruno," but considering that song is by Lin Manuel Miranda, who is a huge Weird Al fan (not to mention Weird Al did make the Hamilton Polka), it makes sense.
KukoMitzu was also part of that fan collab. Honestly, the people who have either previously worked with Weird Al or are well known fan animators of his projects make up most of this list.
@@ClumzorZso happy he's still kicking; his film shorts was essentially part of my childhood along with so many others from Spike and Mike's Film Festival showings.
If I had a nickel everytime musical artists I love had muppets of themselves made for a videoclip this year, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't much, but it's weird that it happened twice!
This is the greatest thing I've seen all month! Not only did they manage to get Bill Plympton, a legendary animator in his own right, & Jack Evans from the "NOW That's What I Call Polka!" Animation Collab, But they managed to get THE Ryan Evans, the same man who animated the music videos for "Albuquerque" & "Everything You Know Is Wrong"! That's one hell of a roster!
Not only did so many awesome animators have a part in this, but also Tress MacNeille as the lady saying “Next” in the “thank u, next” number is so wonderful 😊
The very first animation, my immediate reaction was "Wow, that 'looks like Cyriak", and then I looked at the video description, and damn it really WAS Cyriak.
I love that I haven't watched anything by him in ages. But I could *still* identify Cyriak's style of animating right out of the gate. A genuine "Only one man makes cows move like that" moment.
I wouldn't even call this a new song! it's just a bunch of songs by other people that he put into a polka medley. There's no new lyrics by him so this is not a new song technically.
2:26 After making the definitive fan-made videos for "Albuquerque" and "Everything You Know Is Wrong," RWappin is in an official Weird Al music video? That's amazing!
@peteconway121 that would've been amazing and it makes the most sense as chaos is kinda weird als thing it makes the most sense he would've had lucifers

Edit: thank you all so much for 3.9K likes!!! Probably the most I've gotten!
Very much surprises me the guy is still animating considering how old those videos are
Yes i was screaming OHMYGODOHMYOGODOHMYGOD THATS THE GUY THATS THE GUY THE GUY FROM ALBEQUERQUE
@@jkayrichardson3366 He actually did some work on Smiling Friends from what I saw - worked on the Pilot and animated the scene with DJ Spit in "Frowning Friends."
Sauerkraut!
i am screaming over it rn
I like the detail that after he is crushed in "We Don't Talk About Bruno" he ends up dead in a coffin in "Vampire". And after that, we see a possible skeleton of him in "Old Town Road"!
Oh that's really cool, I never thought about that
BrUh
Weird Al is now cannon in the Hazbin Hotel universe 💀
To be fair, he does look really nice in that style, ngl, @@duckythegamer9059.
He also dies the clip right before
The fact that Cyrak and FUCKING VIZZIEPOP were in a Weird Al song is amazing and hilarious as hell.
people talking about vivziepop in the animators but really, everybody is talented in this! It's really hard to animate and I'm proud of everybody here.
true
Same. Yes, I may be happy that vivziepop has animated a section, but I agree here.
I can’t find her in the credits/description. Where does it say vivziepop animated in this?
@kagetpm1315 itll say spindle horse/Vivienne medrano
@@kagetpm1315 Her name is Vivienne Medrano 🤦 check again
Everyone’s talking about the Albuquerque animator but it’s also impressive that the animator for the “We don’t talk about Bruno” section actually was also an animator for a fan music video four years ago for Now That’s What I Call Polka. Great work, Jack D. Evans!
That's what I realized
@SpectronPrime yuh me too
1:24 this look cool
Of vampire
R.I.P. Steve Dorian
Your Art Rendeetion of Werid Al Yankovic Thrift Store Polka Cover in "That's what I call Polka" will be remembered
0:51 didn’t even think about putting knives on the grave that’s pretty funny😂
I cannot tell you how happy I am for Ryan Krzak for finally OFFICIALLY being on a Weird Al project. Mad props!!!!
fuckin real
IKR IT WAS AWESOME
1:25 I like the idea that Weird Al’s accordion got its own coffin
1:32 Bleh :3"
Vivsie is really good with it-ngl
It is a legendary item
vivziepop cameo
@Iambored13243Vivienne Medrano...?
Pretty sure WAP stands for Weird Al's Polka.
Obviously
Of course, what else would it stand for?
wonder amster please
@@Redacīed well advertised party
Wildly adequate practitioner
I never thought I needed a Weird Al puppet until now
I knew that first animator was Cyriak the second I saw the cow folding in on itself. Inimitable.
I knew it. There's nobody else who makes disturbing cows that fold in on themselves like that. It's incredibly specific.
For real I literally JUST watched Kitty City for the first time in years the other day!!
I knew it! I kept thinking it couldn't be him but it probably was. I hope to hear and watch more from him soon
Right? I saw the thumbnail and thought it was new cyriak work and well, I wasn't wrong but I wasn't right either....either way im not dissappointed lol
Yup!
2:26 WAIT ISN'T THIS THE GUY WHO DID THE ALBUQUERQUE ANIMATION ALL THOSE YEARS AGO?!?!
Edit: rewatching this and I'm realizing freakin VIVZIEPOP AND LIAM LYNCH ARE IN HERE TOO WHAT
I think so!
That’s the same guy! RWappin
RWAPPIN??? OH MY GOD!!!!
YEAH, IT'S THE SAME ONE (also he's doing stuff for Smiling Friends)
Does anybody remember that everything you know is wrong?
Everyone is talking about Vivziepop and RWappin (and rightfully so), but nobody is talking about, Jack D. Evans, who was a part of the fanmade "Now THAT'S What I Call Polka" animation collab! All three fan animators got to officially animate for Weird Al, and that's AWESOME!!!
Edit: Want to also add that the Polka itself is amazing! Weird Al and his team did a great job at polka-ifying pop songs from the past decade! Was especially happy to see "Shake It Off," and have it be the finale nonetheless! Was surprised to see "We Don't Talk About Bruno," but considering that song is by Lin Manuel Miranda, who is a huge Weird Al fan (not to mention Weird Al did make the Hamilton Polka), it makes sense.
Nice to see what I assume was a new Bill Plympton animation too.
KukoMitzu was also part of that fan collab.
Honestly, the people who have either previously worked with Weird Al or are well known fan animators of his projects make up most of this list.
Yeah I recocnized them to
@@ClumzorZso happy he's still kicking; his film shorts was essentially part of my childhood along with so many others from Spike and Mike's Film Festival showings.
Who's RWappin?
2:02 Al absolutely nailed despacito
i never knew i needed muppet weird Al in my life, until now
@trihaladi
Oh yuck. Really bad form, man. Delete this comment.
If I had a nickel everytime musical artists I love had muppets of themselves made for a videoclip this year, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't much, but it's weird that it happened twice!
It’d been once
@@celebrenithil NICE PNF REFERENCE 👍
Right lol
This is the greatest thing I've seen all month! Not only did they manage to get Bill Plympton, a legendary animator in his own right, & Jack Evans from the "NOW That's What I Call Polka!" Animation Collab, But they managed to get THE Ryan Evans, the same man who animated the music videos for "Albuquerque" & "Everything You Know Is Wrong"! That's one hell of a roster!
And Cyriak. And the person who did the Word Crimes animation. Lot's of recognizable art in this video!
@@Machtynthe guy who did Word Crimes was innit as well? JFC, I didn't recognize until you pointed that out; that music video was so epic!!!
And Vivziepop somehow. That’s crazy.
Now all we need is for this mix to be added to the Fortnite Festival... and perhaps a Weird Al skin or miniboss for the Battle Royale.
You forgot that he also got Kukomitzu from the COLLALB as well!
1:13 the fact that he got an animator from the COLLALB was amazing
He got two of them
0:39 That ghost is his BOO.
Not only did so many awesome animators have a part in this, but also Tress MacNeille as the lady saying “Next” in the “thank u, next” number is so wonderful 😊
Thank you. I was hoping someone else would acknowledge her in this. Al has some truly incredible friends lol.
I knew that voice was familiar omg
The very first animation, my immediate reaction was "Wow, that 'looks like Cyriak", and then I looked at the video description, and damn it really WAS Cyriak.
So that *was* Tess!
Can never think of her with out Mom from Futurama playing in my head. "YOU DUMB BAS*RDS!" **SLAP**
thank you weird al for saving the world
truly our saviour, especially his contribution to the already amazing captain underpants movie
Bro can do no wrong
He truly saved us
type shit
Not all heroes wear capes.
Oh hey the Albuquerque animation guy got to do an official animation for Weird Al! Nice
Just a great surprise!!
Right? Seeing that made me so happy for the guy
Hell yea!
Officially canon in the Weird Al Universe!
Even transitioned from.. Sauerkraut being dropped on last singer.
I just noticed the flowers part references previous songs weird al has made
All these people talking about Vampire and Uptown Funk's animators,
BUT LIAM LYNCH DID OLD TOWN ROAD
THAT MAN IS A LEGEND
Sifl & Olly's Liam Lynch?!? Fantastic!
liams movements are goofy as
WAP is easily my favourite one, even if it’s not animated like the others its so COOL
who is liam linch?
no
I love that I haven't watched anything by him in ages.
But I could *still* identify Cyriak's style of animating right out of the gate. A genuine "Only one man makes cows move like that" moment.
"Only one man makes cows move like that" got a proper snort of laughter out of me, thank you for that. And you're right, of course.
oh my god i was thinking the same thing
Agreed.
Cyriak somehow manages to make what is essentially a cut-and-paste art style inimitable.
Cyriak has a very… unique animation style.
1:17 I love the detail of bruno seeing that weird al is about to get crushed lol
Ikr
And the band in the background run away when they notice the asteroid
This song scares me, man 😭😰
@@JamesPreston-mp2bj The 2021-2022 flashbacks are real
Yeah that’s why he’s in the coffin next song clip
Pure Weird Al
EDIT the "Shake it Off" segment sounds straight out of an kid's song collection CD/DVD of sorts
Werid Al suddenly drops his first new song in years
Hires all indie animatiors and adds ton of fan service
Refuses to elaborate
Leaves
Classic Al..
Why didn't he make a new song in years
@@AcethecooldudeNeeds to make more
I wouldn't even call this a new song! it's just a bunch of songs by other people that he put into a polka medley. There's no new lyrics by him so this is not a new song technically.
what are you on about triha
I love how his previous characters and outfits from his career returned in this video.
The amount of art styles and art creators I’ve seen here is insane
Vivzi coming from nowhere ☠️
Frl @@Maiglacia
@@Maiglaciait was SO unexpected for her to be animating that part.
@@TheStarOfNoobsshe didnt animate it!!! she storyboarded and designed the part but didnt animate
@@Lychee-by4nm okay, but it’s still HER art style. So really, spindlehorse animated it, there.
Weird Al is that one celebrity you can't hate. Its dang near impossible
Cyriak as an opener is insanely amazing. Thank you Weird Al. 😭
Just set the standard for what you are about to see and was not disappointed!
Bro I didn't even realize. Thank you for pointing that out.
It's a crime he only got 15 seconds - if there was ever anyone to animate weird als songs - it was Cyriak!
The deep cut reference to the fan-made Albuquerque video at 2:26 had me floored
The return of the guy who _made_ that video had me floored lol

@@garglebargle69average Cyriak enjoyer behavior tbh
2:26 After making the definitive fan-made videos for "Albuquerque" and "Everything You Know Is Wrong," RWappin is in an official Weird Al music video? That's amazing!
The fact weird all can bring polka back again and again and it's still good is awesome. Lol
Not only was I not expecting Weird al to make a version of ‘shape of you’, but I definitely was not expecting Vivienne Medrano here
That was a god darn good market strat everyone is talking about it
It hit me good when I saw that one I genuinely was not expecting Vivienne
weird Al was gonna be lucifers casting role but he declined as he dislikes swearing so it sorta makes sensw
Me either lol I didn't expect that
@peteconway121 that would've been amazing and it makes the most sense as chaos is kinda weird als thing it makes the most sense he would've had lucifers

2:38 weird al found a way to make a Kidz Bop version of WAP... What a legend
"Git somma this (Drip, HEE-haw, MrOWWRRrrr)!!!"
Doing a retrospect of Al's career for "Flowers" was genius.
Weird Al doing a WAP cover is something I never thought I'd see
Right?! and im all here for it😂
When it came out, he mentioned how much he liked it in an interview, so it checks out
In the same video he parodies a Disney song
That was one of the highlights of the video!
Then again, he has done polka versions of both "Touch Myself" by The Divinyls and "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. So...yeah.
I love how the flowers part references Al’s old songs
