hahaha! I can't believe this hasn't made it to the front page yet!

Having just watched it, I can.

Wow, that's bad. In a good way, of course. We can all blame Weird Al for every single crappy parody tune that is played on morning radio, he was a pioneer in some sense.

I have hung onto a couple of his father's albums that my grandparents had. Frankie Yankovic, the Polka and accordian master. Apple doesn't fall far.

Damn you hugenormous queue.. I almost missed seeing this video. BTW, I love his new song, Don't Download This Song.

Go watch the music video just premiered on Yahoo something or other. http://music.yahoo.com/release/35335837 (I wish I had more mad skillz and I would grab the video and upload it to YouTube)

Therealblankman; According to weird al's website;

Is Al related to the famous accordion-playing Polka King, Frankie Yankovic?

No, although they were friends for many years. (In October 1998, Frankie passed away at his home in Florida at the age of 83.)


I just happened to be browsing his site when i noticed this...

Really? Not related? Oh, interesting.

Well, after some consideration, I choose to disregard your facts, I prefer the truth. Weird Al is Frankie Yankovic's love child.

lol, sounds good, i think it sounds better anyway. Now you just need to update wikipedia and it really will be true.
