You reference those movies but don't mention the "Another one bites the dust" (aka the song being parodied here) scene from Bohemian Rhapsody lol It only came out 6 years ago.
I don’t remember which artist said it, but the quote goes more or less like this: “I felt honored in the knowledge that I’ve been parodied by Weird Al. That meant I was big enough for him to notice my work.”
Most of the artists he contacts and actually asks them if its ok. He doesn't do it for all artists though because I remember Coolio was not too happy about Amish paradise.
@@billfred9411he did ask coolio but he said no. Al did it anyway and that's where the trouble came in. Coolio wanted the subject to be taken seriously and he felt the parody would take away from his original message. What most artists liked is that after al did a parody their original song pulled in more listeners as well as the parody. I get coolios point but I also love amish paradise .
@@Victoria-sl7kyAl usually didn’t do the song when asked not to. He did a cover of James Blunt’s You’re Beatiful when Blunt gave him permission but the label said no so he finished the song but never released it on an album. There are several parodies he never made because the artist asked him not to.
I remember in an interview with daniel Radcliff that when he was offered the roll, he was really flattered but confused. Then he read the script and was like, Oh! It's THAT kind of documentary. Ok, brilliant! Let's do it! Lol
I was never a very big Harry Potter fan, but I saw them all, and I watched Radcliff grow as an actor. He has earned my eternal respect for his commitment in this scene. He freaking lip syncing and still the veins in his neck are popping. That’s the very definition of a consummate professional. Here’s hoping that the rumors of him taking over the role of Wolverine are true. We need someone who takes ownership of the role as much as Jackman does.
Hands down the best scene in the movie. Life-long Weird AL fan. Watched it with my 30 something roommate and my 19 year old son. Had to try and name all the characters at the pool party to them... love this movie
This reenactment of what actually took place is mind-blowing. It was all improved by everyone in attendance. Such a thing will never happen again in the course of human history.
If one had told me before this came out that Harry Potter, Dwight Schrute and Dewey Finn would all share a screen I would be on the floor laughing hysterically for ages! Truly incredible!
@@jetnut89 "I haven't been in a crowd like this/Since I went to see The Who... But I couldn't get to the door/There isn't any room for me to breathe..." A reference to the 1979 Who concert disaster in Cincinnati where eleven people were crushed to death outside the entry doors.
love how weird Al parodies all these different works think he said Prince was the only one that he didn't do a parody of as a he respected his wish of not doing it.
The Year this song came out, I was in high school. And the bus I rode on was horrifically overcrowded! Three people in every bench seat and people standing in the aisles! Add to that the fact that I took guitar class and Ceramics so I would have a lot of stuff on the bus with me, basically taking up the place of two people.
If this song does not put Al in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame then Metallica and Led Zeppelin should be removed as members. Sincerely, Al Yanko..... I mean Dave.
@@spongebobsquarepants3770 The guy playing Pee-Wee Herman is Jorma Taccone, one-third of the comedy trio The Lonely Island (with Andy Samberg and Akiva Schaffer, the latter of whom plays Alice Cooper in this movie).
So much talent, I can see why Michael Jackson parodied his work.
Did you mention that as a joke or did you actually mention that? Cause it’s the opposite of what you said.
@@SirNoodles66 It's a joke in the movie.
@@SirNoodles66 czcams.com/video/vAvcxeXtBz0/video.html
Good one 😂
@@SirNoodles66 Jesus fucking christ......
This scene is a brilliant parody of those music biopics like The Doors and Straight Outta Compton where the artist writes a song in about 2 minutes.
Dont forget 'Bohemian Rhapsody'😅😅😅😅
Straight Outta Compton doesn’t do this. Excellent movie though!
There's a scene where Dre and Snoop come up with Nuthin' But A G Thang on the spot

The role Dwight Schrute was born to play!
I was extremely skeptical but he does really make a great weird al
I thought he was Al.
It's just the size difference which is off. The make-up people did a good job with the face though.
Weird ain’t it..
Aaron Paul: "Am I a joke to you?"
Also, Weird Al did his singing voice. Dan Radcliffe could never sound like him singing.
Conan O'Brien as Andy Warhol is just inspired casting.
Thank you Dr. Demento without you there is no parody in music!!
I remember in an interview with daniel Radcliff that when he was offered the roll, he was really flattered but confused. Then he read the script and was like, Oh! It's THAT kind of documentary. Ok, brilliant! Let's do it! Lol
Dr. Demento's dancing puts a smile on my face.
That Devine was too much! LOL

Jack Black looks so discouraged as Wolfman Jack getting his own smack back.
The Man who changed music......literally.
No. He changed the lyrics, not the music
@@TheRockinDonkey I knew someone's gonna say that😂😂😂
@@TheRockinDonkeybro really said lyrics aren't part of music 💀
@@TheRockinDonkey sadly he wasn't even the first to do this. Before him was Allan Sherman
Props to the Frank Zappa look alike.
Frank zappa jamming like its the best song hes ever heard. I love it.
Now I know how this movie would look if it got a VHS release
Cara got the last one I think
Iblove how this is a whos who of celebrity weirdos. Including (and not limited to) Divine,salvador dali, gallagher,andy warhol,frank zappa
Casting Sir Conan O'Brien as Andy Warhol was the perfect move
Dr. Demento.
lol I am making a painting for my assignment for Salvador dail
So… Dr Demento just walks around with a train whistle in his jacket 😂
Checks out.
greatest autobiographical movie ever
Rainn Wilson dancing is just fantastic.
fun fact: Weird Al sung the remaster, Radcliffe was just lip syncing
i realized
@@Anonymousdeletedaccount... oh dang
Makes sense
Yep , I was able to tell the difference
Yeah the 1st time I watched this I was thinking wow Daniel Radcliffe is a Great singer he sounds exactly like Weird Al 😂 when I found out 🤦🙄
My favorite line is, "I haven't been in a crowd like this since I went to see the Who." :)
I'm happy that Rainn Wilson threw in the Hot Rod Richardson dance move.
Daniel is just fckng unbelievable
Couldn’t have picked a more perfect Al.
Thanks for thinking of the deaf and allowing closed captioning.
David Dastmalchian (John Deacon) played that perfectly.
I read that it wasn't Deacon that was at the party but because he wrote the song, they had to write Deacon in instead
Hands down the best scene in the movie. Life-long Weird AL fan. Watched it with my 30 something roommate and my 19 year old son. Had to try and name all the characters at the pool party to them... love this movie
I pointed them out to my boys when we watched.
This had me cracking up laughing 😅 harry potter turn into 'Afro'do Baggins
This reenactment of what actually took place is mind-blowing. It was all improved by everyone in attendance. Such a thing will never happen again in the course of human history.
I will watch that just to see Conan as Andy Warhol
I fucking LOVE the fact that Jack Black is in this 😂😂
I love how rain wailsons face is like “ what now “ through out the whole song 😂
The whole film is great but this scene is easily the best
Hands down my favorite scene of the movie. I must have rewound it tow atch this at least 10 times 😂😂😂😂😂
I didn't know this even existed but I'm already obsessed.
love how jack black is in this movie as he already made a movie like this with his friend
Man i love Daniel Radcliffes acting.
He is brilliant.
Ever since i watched swiss army man
I am glad that Daniel Radcliffe finally got one of those roles he will be remembered for.
jack is worried about how someone else can rock as hard as him 😂
Loved this movie!
this is my fave scene from the movie! i love it!

Producer Big Time Rush hires Harry Potter. "You're a singer, Harry."
Loved this film.
My boys loved this movie and lost it when they Jack Black. I wasn't expecting that one.
love how weird Al parodies all these different works think he said Prince was the only one that he didn't do a parody of as a he respected his wish of not doing it.
It's perfect. Down to the last detail.
Harry Potter sings The Transformers 86 Movie hit single...
'Dare to Be Stupid'.
Never heard of Al Yankovic till this moment 😂😂
He does a great weird al
Somewhere Lord Voldemort is crawling around limbo saying "This is the boy who defeated me???"
Damm Harry got all this expensive Education in Hogwarts and Ends like that😅
Devine!
This looks awesome!
Can’t believe the guy going “yeah” is the kid from gladiator
Totally defines going anywhere in Spokane I need a car
He's actually playing the accordion. But it's Al doing the singing
Jack black just standing there just shocked
The movie was fantastic
I'm on the bus as we speak lol
Did you manage to get off eventually?
Damn I would love to be at that party.
Cool
Is this a Halloween party? I see Devine, Andy, Warhol, Gallagher,.
Emotional
Was that Jack Black with the shades?😂
Forgot about the who concert disaster reference lol

Scranton party moves at 0:30
0:42 gojo got lost 😂
Nice catch, dude was playing Gojo cosplay lol 😂😂
Was that Conan O'Brian dressed up like Andy Warhol
Of course not, that was Tarja Halonen.
If I didn't already know that was Daniel Radcliffe, I would have immediately thought it was Weird Al.
Harry Potter with a mustache
Harry was never the same after he destroyed Voldemort
Dan Radcliffe is so talented
The guy the said yeah is he the bass voice on voice play??
Damn I thought this was Daniel Radcliffe
I want this on Spotify
The soundtrack is on Spotify
Wait this is on Paramount Plus?
0:41 what instrument was Conan O'Brian/Andy Warhol playing?
I believe that it’s called a flexatone
conan obrien as warhol
I totally forgot there was a Weird Al movie…
I haven't seen this yet - is that supposed to be Frank Zappa in the back? I know Al was a Zappa fan but didn't know if they really ever met or not.
Utterly insane.
insanely brilliant.
What instroument was used at 0:41??? I need to have it!!
Flexatone
AVADA KADAVRA
1:18 did he just play the Bass?
0:58 whoever in the makeup department said "make them look like Pink Flamingo 1972" should be fired
