"One More Minute" is an original song by "Weird Al" Yankovic. It is done in the style of doo-wop.
Several jokes in the music video are inspired by a scene in the movie Top Secret!, a movie Yankovic cites as one of his favorites. Most notable are the microphone gags and the presence of three back-up singers, played in the music video by Yankovic's band. While many fan-posted videos have been removed to protect their copyrights, and Yankovic has put up many videos to be downloaded for sale, "One More Minute" has so far been allowed to remain on many free video sharing sites.
At one point in the video, Al takes out a photograph of a woman (assumedly an ex-girlfriend of his) and tears it in half; this woman was apparently the inspiration for the song.(Thanks

videosiftbannedmesays...One of my top 5 songs from Al, Yoda being the first off the same album. I went to see him in concert in 2001/2002 and couldn't believe it when he started singing this song, as it is more of a B-side. He then closed the show with Yoda. Talk about awesome.
If you ever get a chance to see him live, do it. He probably performed at least 20-25 full songs, and then did one of the polka medleys of about 20-25 of his other songs. He also did countless costume changes, including coming out in the fat suit and performed Fat, the Devo suits for Dare to be Stupid, the Flintstones suits for the Bedrock Anthem, the Jedi costumes for The Saga Begins. Clips from AlTV and The Weird Al Show on the big screen as well.
Phenomenal show.
