"Weird Al" Yankovic - FOIL (Parody of "Royals" by Lorde)

YouTube: We partnered with "Weird Al" to create this music video for his new album, "Mandatory Fun." Also featuring Patton Oswalt, Tom Lennon, and Robert Ben Garant.

Wow. Weird Al must be some trans-dimensional shape-shifting super-being to be able to keep producing such winners. He at least must be a member of the Alumina-hat-i. You know, like the Illuminati? But with an aluminum hat? It's a pun.

This is all part of the conspiracy - aluminum won't foil the aluminati - you need proper tin foil.

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Wednesday, July 16th, 2014 8:14am PDT - promote requested by MrFisk.

I think there are a number of sifters that need to listen closely to the second verse, and then put their hats on (so we can recognize them).

Is the 2nd angle here a jab at Lordes acceptance speech

Weird Al is on fire! Good for him.

3 for 3 and going strong. lets see what tomorrow brings.

*quality!!!

This is shaping up to be the best Weird "Al"bum in 20 years.

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by lucky760.

They even have the same hair.

That was brilliant. It's a pity though he no longer has the budget to produce more complex parodies like "Amish Paradise".
