Overall the song isn't really that bad, the rapping is for once actually kinda good and it has a nice beat going but the lyrics. The loving lyrics. Iggy Azalea is one of the worst rappers in the history of rap. Maybe THE worst one. Like, I'd rather listen to Chuggo than her.

Yeah the only good part of that song is the chorus, which is Charli XCX and not Iggy Azalea at all. On a Weird Al-related note, I really love this album. I also love the fact that it's made me go back and listen to all the Weird Al music I first heard, or didn't hear, when I was growing up. Awesome and hilarious, even more than I remember. Never die, Weird Al.

Iggy Azalea is a dumb racist piece of garbage. The production values in the Handy video were really cute though.

I like how all the animated tools (and even his swollen thumb) move in sync with the bass line. The one ripped off of Yazoo.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJXX3A_6nbo Al was just on Fox News having to explain the concept of "making money using the internet" and realizing he's the only one in the room who isn't an idiot. It's hilarious.

This is the most uncomfortable interview with Weird Al. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFcuP8-Me_A Dudes just start mocking his parents' death right to his face and he gets really choked up. It's terrible.

He did a concert the same day, then thanked fans on his website while pleading for carbon monoxide detector safety. You don't get many artistic geniuses that aren't sociopaths. I love how his 1999 concert video started with his parents introducing him, though. It's hilarious and sweet at the same time.

He spends a lot of time talking about himself, ask Al a bunch of really stupid and lightweight questions, and then... "So, tell me about your parents' death and how that impacted your work." Edit: "I feel bad for bringing it up," so LET'S KEEP TALKING ABOUT IT! It's like that loving Fawlty Towers episode with the Germans, except not funny.

Cemetry Gator posted:Wow, this guy is a terrible interviewer. He spends a lot of time talking about himself, ask Al a bunch of really stupid and lightweight questions, and then... What pisses me off more is that these guys are considered "shock jocks" so pissing off guests and people gets ratings and more attention to the show (and thus their advertisers) so everyone wins when fans get enraged. When this was linked in a previous Al thread around the time Alpocalpyse was out Goons flooded the station with calls telling them that based on the lovely behavior of the "shock jocks" they were boycotting the show and all affiliated advertisers. The jocks of course replied by calling us all fat neckbearded basement-dwelling "Goonies" as if that could hurt us... quote:I don't think that actually is the joke. It'd be nice if it were though. While not the whole joke of the song, Al admitted in an interview that he purposely left a split infinitive in Word Crimes so that Grammar Nazis would go apeshit in the YouTube comments and blogoverse, because it would be funny. So he realizes how anal-retentive grammarians are, too, it's all in good fun.

The Handy video is pretty sub-par. The original song is junk and Al's parody isn't particularly clever. Foil is the definite winner of the newest batch of videos, at least so far.

Today I learned what a split infinitive was and also that I can relax because after looking up examples I'm sitting here going "wait, am I missing something here? I can't see a problem with these sentences". In the meantime I also have come to the realization that these days I would say I recognize maybe 1 of the songs Al is parodying on his albums. Now I am not all high and mighty in my music choices either it's just that a lot of the time the songs he chooses are songs that fall into a genre that I don't typically spend a lot of time listening to, such as Fancy. I'm sorry but Rap and Hip Hop are not my cup of tea and while I do not tell people to "turn that poo poo off" if they are playing it when I am around I will not listen to it in the comfort of my home or any other private place that I have complete control over my music choices.

The video for Handy was OK, not as clever as Word Crimes, but it was good. Also, it helps make a terrible song much more enjoyable (my favorit thing about Weird Al's parodies)

Word Crimes is a very good song and the video is straight brilliance. Sports Song has a funny premise that he quickly runs into the grounds. I really like the story line on Foil plus it's a really good sendup. Anyway, I made this from Word Crimes for...future usage:

I wasn't expecting him to do one for Sports Song. I love the song, but I'm not sure it translates that well to video form. It's really short and there wasn't much done with the concept in the video. I can't imagine this one getting a million hits in a day or whatever.
