Weird Al is still awesome.

And the dude can really sing. You know what kind of range it takes to be able to sing all of those different songs?

I don't know the song itself, but this is really good.

Wierd Al rocks.

Which song was it where he and his wife went to the drive-thru? That was hilarious.

I agree that Wierd Al is a much better vocalist than a lot of people care to admit. He also markets himself very intelligently. He owns his niche.

Pretty amazing guy. I first remember him back in the 80's making parodies of Micheal Jackson and Greg Kihn Band songs.

oh yeah, as a kid I LOVED Weird Al. I had all his tapes. Now, I have all of his illegally downloaded mp3s, and my son loves him. Hilarious bridges generations, folks. Be hilarious.

Micjones 10-10-2008 11:51 AM
You equate "genius" with a man whose sole claim to fame is comedic spoofs of popular songs? He is and was never talented enough to forge a career in music or comedy. So he settled somewhere in the middle. He has zero artistic merit of his own, but he's being called "genius"? I've truly heard it all.

Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, Muddy Waters, The Beatles...
That's genius.

The word genius is relative. I could make the same argument that your list is laughable compared to Einstein and Isaac Newton, for example. I'd never claim that Weird Al is a musical genius, but he's pretty far up there on the comedic genius scale.

Some of his best songs aren't spoofs of anything. "Why Does This Always Happen To Me?" springs to mind as one of my favorite Weird Al songs, and it's 100% original.

I don't buy your argument that Weird Al "couldn't make it in music or comedy so he does this" because in reality, isn't he making it in both at once? I don't think he looks back at his career wishing he had "gone legit". This is what he was meant to do.

Weird Al, though understandably annoying to some people, is the greatest song parodist of all time. It takes a certain amount of genius to keep those song parodies funny for thirty years.

What artistic merit does spoofing someone else's original musical work (with virtually the same arrangements and musical compositions) have?

I can't imagine that he wouldn't chase a serious musical career if he really did have the requisite skill set to do so. Especially at this point in his career... He's established a base. This would be the perfect jumping off point for such a career move. Why not? Because he'd never be taken seriously as an artist.

Quote:

I tend to agree. My point is what he's done isn't worthy of being tabbed "musical genius". I think that requires artistic merit of your own.

Quote:

I suppose that depends on who you ask.
And also on how you measure the comedic value of spoofs.

I think the guy owns the song parody lane.
He's done very clever work during his long career.
I just think it's a bit ridiculous to assign the term "genius" to that.

This is awesome.
I can't tell you the genius behind this. It captures the sheer horribleness that is today's R&B. Uninspired lyrics, redundant beat and tune. Just talking and kind of singing at the same time. No real thought behind it.

I bet it took him longer to write that song than it did R. Kelly to write his awful, awful version.

No respectable historian in comedy would deem Weird Al comedic genius.

I chose the wrong word. You all have certainly been exposed. But given this line of discussion I don't know that I'm talking to people truly knowledgeable about comedy.

You identify who the great contributors were (to comedy) in the last 30 years and no way in Hell Weird Al's name comes up. Unless you don't know Jack and Shit about comedy.

That's a little ridiculous. Dane Cook steals his material word for word and adds hand motions to think he's funny. Al takes bad songs like this one, changes the words and makes them enjoyable to listen to. He obviously has some sort of talent or he wouldn't have a grammy award.

You're making my point for me.
The only way his contributions could ever be called comedic genius were if he was lumped in a category with a bunch of mediocre comics.

When I think of comedic genius...
I think Lenny Bruce.
I think Redd Foxx.
I think Richard Pryor.
I think George Carlin.
I think Bill Cosby.

IMO, he's a great entertainer, whether you see him as comedic or not. It's cool to take theses songs and twist them like he does. He just makes them fun, if not funny.

I'm not suggesting that he has no entertainment value.
I don't even take exception to the argument that he's funny.

I don't think he's a genius but I think your taking that title a little too seriously. To say he couldn't hack it in comedy or music is stupid when he's done both for over a quarter of a century. You may not like his songs but he's obviously made it or he wouldn't still be doing it. Obviously he's not the funniest man alive but I'd like to hear who you think makes better parody songs. He's obviously the best at what he does.

People don't share in your obvious passion for the word genius. Maybe it's because you feel you are underappreciated in that area? Either way. I think he's very musically talented (is musically a word...lol). Moreso than he is with writing.

This has nothing to do with feeling underappreciated in this forum.
My reputation would suggest otherwise.

I just don't like when people assign terms like "genius" and "great" to parties undeserving. I heard Mitch Holthus call Brandon Flowers a GREAT player the other night. Made me cringe.

He's a rookie who's performed fairly well in just 5 games, but to call him a great player at this point is flat absurd.

Great remake!
Yeah, props to him for that. If I remember correctly, Coolio was a bitch about "Amish Paradise".

BTW, anyone ever seen Weird Al's flick "UHF" that came out about 20 years or so ago?


Always cracked me up. Michael (Kramer) Richards is in it, and hes hilarious.

I just want to thank micjones for coming and letting everyone know exactly what comedy and genius are all about by quoting people again and again and dissecting what they've said to make some point.
Nothing like trying to suck all the humor out of a place by explaining to everyone how they don't understand what funny really is. Thank you so much for explaining the true essence and meaning of comedy and genius.
micjones = not funny.
Weird Al = funny.
Weird Al = takes other people's works and makes homorous parodies.
micjones = quotes other people's lines in this thread and makes unfunny posts tailored around them.

I chose the wrong word. You all have certainly been exposed. But given this line of discussion I don't know that I'm talking to people truly knowledgeable about comedy.

You identify who the great contributors were (to comedy) in the last 30 years and no way in Hell Weird Al's name comes up. Unless you don't know Jack and Shit about comedy.
Knowledgable about comedy? I always thought comedy was shit that made you laugh. If that's the case then I guess comedy would be different for each individual. For anyone to say that someone is or isn't a comedic genius is just an opinion. No matter who it's coming from.

Plays an eerily similar part to Kramer. I always wondered if Jerry was a closet UHF fan.

Mr. Flopnuts 10-11-2008 02:05 AM
Jerry Seinfeld. That guy was no comedic genius.

And if you're scoring at home...
You fail to address my argument altogether and make some personal assessment of me. Dial up "ad hominem fallacy" chief.

Do you have an argument that Yankovic is comedic genius?
If you don't... You might wanna keep the line moving.

Thanks.

Flops this is obviously all subjective. Most of what we discuss in this forum is.
