Wierd Al Yankovich, Werid Al, Weird Al Yankovic / Nirvana, Weird Al Yankovich, Weird Al Yankavic, Weird Al Yancovic, Weird Al, Al YankovicQuotes:
My brothers and sisters all hated me cause I was an only child - Weird Al Yankovic |
Band Name Origins:
- "Weird Al" came up with this name while in college, where he was studying archetecture. The college had its own radio station and Al wanted to be a dj. He had found that all the dj's had really cool names, like a word in front of their names, like Cool Chris or something similar. So, Al came up with "Weird Al". And that name is very suiting too. =D Submitted by: Billy Slim
- It was the lead singer Al Yankovic's nick name when he dj'ed on his college radio station. Submitted by: Jessi Moen

Song Titles Not Used as Lyrics:
Song Name | Comments & Submitter Name |
| "Truck Drivin' Song" | An oft repeated line is "I'm drivin' a truck, drivin' a truck." In some lines "big ol' " is inserted before the second occurrence of "truck". But the title "Truck Drivin' Song" never occurs in the lyrics. - Carmen Nunki |
| "Polkas On .45" | Since this is one of Weird Al's polka songs where he does a polka-style medley of Top 40 hits, you won't find the title in the song (or songs?). - Funnyman |
| "Polka Power" | First line is " Yo, I'll tell ya what I want, what I really really want". Might that or some part of it be used as an alternate "title"? Possibly, but that might be confusing, as something like "What I Really Really Want" might be the title of another song. Weird Al's songs, occasionally, rather than being whole-song parodies, are an asortment of lines from various other songs, strung together to polka rhythm and rousing accordion accompaniment. This song is a case in point. "Polka Power" is typical of the unlikely-to-be-found-in-lyrics type of titles that he gives to such amalgamated compositions. - Emmy Kay Butanone |
| "The Weird Al Show Theme" | First line, and lyrics by which the song might best be known, if any, is "Oh, this is a story 'bout a guy named Al". Or such a surrogate "title" might be shortened to "Story 'bout a guy named Al" or simply "A guy named Al". The title of the song is never in the lyrics, as one would generally expect of a title that designates the song as a "Show Theme" A show theme would sound funny if it identified itself explicitly that way in the lyrics, wouldn't it? - Emmy Kay Butanone |
| "The Saga Begins" | First line, and lyrics by which the song might best be known, if any, is "A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far away...". Thus starts this parody of "American Pie", which gets its name because it is a humorous recounting of the events of the first movie (chronologically first, but fourth to be made) in the STAR WARS series. That title is never sung in the lyrics. - Emmy Kay Butanone |

Story about this misheard lyric by: Karen Smith For a long time when I heard this song while playing the "Running With Scissors" CD, I thought the lyrics were as I misheard them, as cited above. In a song that is so whimsical and nonsensical (on purpose in this case), it is hard to catch a suspected mishearing on the grounds that the words as misheard seem implausible, unlike in more serious songs. That's because words to a song like this tend to be largely implausible anyway. So for a long time I misheard these lines until I happened to look at the song on a lyrics site and discovered the real lyrics to these lines. |

How come this console has no moderate games
"LittleBigPlanet" is getting so lame
"Final Fantasy 12" and 13 are the same
So Sell it
Dont you tell me its cool just Sell it, Sell it
Get a 360 instead of it

Original Lyrics:
Your table manners are a crying shame
You're playing with your food just like some kind of game
Now if you starve to death you'll just have yourself to blame so eat it
Dont you tell me your full just eat it, eat it
Dont you make me repeat it
Have some more chicken, have some more fries
It doesn't matter if it's broiled or fried
You're playing with your food just like some kind of game
Now if you starve to death you'll just have yourself to blame so eat it
Dont you tell me your full just eat it, eat it

Heading off to the drive-thru We're approaching the drive-thru Getting close to the drive-thru!

Insincere Song Lyrics:
"Good Enough For Now"
The Insincere Lyrics: And I swear I'm never gonna leave you, darlin'
At least 'til something better comes along. Why They're Insincere: This whole song was meant to be insincere, but this line captures it the best, I think. What's really great about this song is that it's done in the style of a country song in which the singer pledges eternal love, but the singer is only (half-heartedly) pledging a very temporary (and dubious) kind of love.
Submitted by: Offender
| "Amish Paradise"
The Insincere Lyrics: And we haven't paid phone bills for 300 years
Why They're Insincere: As far as I know Alexander Bell constructed first telephone machine in 1876, so 300 years is just a bit too much. But the song's cool anyway

Submitted by: Karen Smith

The Inappropriate Lyrics: I guess I might seem kinda bitter
you got me feeling down in the dumps 'cause I'm stranded all alone at the gas station of love and I have to use the self service pumps Why They're Inappropriate: I think the phrase "use the self service pumps" is a reference to the pumping motion of masturbation.

| "Airline Amy"

Why: Like the Geraldo's "Rico Suave" song uses Spanglish, this Weird Al parody is about eating Mexican Food. In English the bridge is... "Good evening, sir, and welcome to Enrique's House of Salsa. We have many very delicious dishes. May I recommend the Burning Chicken from Hell as being very delicious. Your eyes will burn, your stomach will be on fire, you'll be in the bathroom for a week! Do you understand what I'm saying you stupid Gringo"? And the bridge was spoken by Cheech Marin from Cheech and Chong.

Yeared Wow Ankle Vick originally "Weird Al Yankovic"
Submitted by: funny
Lighter Side of Serious Bands:
"Dare to be Stupid"
This humorous song is a Devo parody, yet Weird Al really goes off the wall with the line "mashed potatoes can be your friends". Huh?

Hidden Tracks:
"Bite Me"
This song is at the end of 'Off the Deep End' and after 10 minutes of silence, you will hear utter nonsense that may scare you.
Submitted by: Paul Warren
"You Don't Love Me Anymore"
After the song is over, there is nearly 20 minutes of silence, followed by about 10 seconds of formless guitar, drums and screaming. This is a spoof of the hidden track from Nirvana's Nevermind album called "Endless Nameless".

Hidden Messages:
"I Remember Larry"
Around 3:10 on the song, is a backwards message. Played backwards, you hear Al tell you "Wow, you must have an awful lot of free time on your hands"

"Weird Al Yankovic"
Look on the inner groove of the vinyl LP version. You'll find the words: "Don't forget to eat your broccoli!"

Backwards Messages:
"Nature Trail To Hell"
Forwards, its complete gibberish. Backwards, you get "Satan Eats Cheese Whiz"

"Ebay"
In part of the song, you can hear in a voice that sounds very similar to Wierd Al's saying, "He was watching Star Wars."

"I Remember Larry"
In the part (near the end) when you hear "Yes I remember remember remember" over and over again, you hear Al sing what sounds like gibberish, and this gibberish is clear. If you play it backwards, this gibberish says, "Wow, you must have an awful lot of free time on your hands"

"Nature Trail To Hell"
During the instrumental part with the wailing, Al says somethin' that sounds like "Zoon eech hoo zitz." If you play it backwards, it's supposed to say "Satan eats Cheeze Whiz." No doubt Al's way of poking fun at the "satanic back-masking" trend.

What A Band is Best Known For (aside from their music):
"His unusual reaction to problems with a song"
When Atlantic Records didn't allow Al to release "You're Pitiful" (a cover of "You're Beautiful") on Straight Outta Lynwood, he got back in an odd way. In the video for "White and Nerdy", when he talks about editing Wikipedia, he is writing "YOU SUCK!" on Atlantic Records' page. He also would wear a similar shirt when singing "You're Pitiful" in concert.

"His Name"
Al Yankovic got his name in the mid-70's because many people would say to him "Hey, F-Ing Weird Al"! The name stuck (Not the F-ing part) and the rest is history!
