Throughout the past 23 years a lot of artists have come and gone and some, the lucky ones at least, have been parodied by Weird Al Yankovic. It was nearly a quarter century ago that Weird Al first unleashed his brand of parody on the world with his self-titled debut album. The record featured “My Bologna,” Al’s take on The Knack’s “My Sharona,” and it quickly vaulted him to “quirky” status. That status rose from quirky to legendary with the advent of the music video and Al’s take on a number of Michael Jackson classics, the largest (pun fully intended) being Al’s version of “Bad,” “Fat.” Al’s latest effort, Straight Outta Lynwood, recently hit record stores and although popular music has changed greatly over the past 23 years Al’s ability to parody that music is still just as on point as it was back then. In fact, in my opinion, he’s even better today. For the full article, visit adambernard.blogspot.com.
