He's been doing parodies (and his own funny stuff) for more than 40 years. He's from the US. Enjoy the deep dive into a world of fun. Most artists he parodied love it.
Definitely keep going on the Weird Al. His stuff has been played on the radio since 1976. There's a lot of content, and most of it's really good. Al had sold 12 million records when they stopped keeping track in the early 2000s. His most recent full-length album, _Mandatory Fun_, debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts... beating out all other albums in the U.S. at that time. His stuff is about 50% original, 45% parody, and ~5% polka. And you're right... his dad's side of the family was of Yugoslavian descent (though he is from the United States).
Yes. You have heard a song with this beat before. It was called “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke. This song is called a “parody.” Weird Al Yankovic takes popular songs by other performers, and changes the lyrics to make them humorous. He has been doing this and remained successful at it, for well over 40 years now. In the music industry, many consider it an honor to be parodied by Weird Al. It is a mark you have become significant enough, for Al to notice you.
I grew up listening to his music. He is mostly known for his parodies. But he’s also got some great originals too. He covers so many genres, everything from classic rock and rap to polka.
