You know Weird Al Yankovic for the pop video parodies, crazy hair, crazy eyes, and — well — crazy everything. But did you know that on every one of his albums he includes a hilarious medley of current charttopping songs?
Comedian-musician Weird Al Yankovic has teamed up Comedy Central to host a comedy special taped during the parody impressionist’s latest North American stage tour.
Lady Gaga’s reached a pivotal pinnacle in her maturity as a pop goddess: Parody Time! In the Music World, you’re nobody ’till Weird Al Yankovic makes fun of, and the legendary comedian have does just that in the video for his new single, “Perform This Way.” It took a biting blog and some tooth-pulling with Mother Monster’s managers, but it looks like Al — who has paid humorous homage to Michael Jackson and The Greg Kihn Band with his hilarious covers — finally got the OK to superimpose his head on a drag queen’s body for the spoof of Gaga’s international charttopping single “Born This Way.”
The side-splitting tune appears on Weird Al’s new album, Apocalypse, dropping this week. Keep an eye out for the “Madonna” cameo!
