The barn falling is a nod to silent film star Buster Keaton's Steamboat Bill Jr. (1928) when the front of a house falls on him. Also, can we take a minute to appreciate the fact that Al was singing/lip-syncing backwards for that last section so they could run the footage backwards?
It was 100% filmed with him walking backwards and singing it backwards (It's 100% possible to learn it in reverse), then played forward in post production.
06:15 to 06:32 - the amish are backwards to us, so his walk-through scene is taped as he is walking backwards and singing backwards then falls into the hay. In post-production it is reversed to make it look like he is walking correctly. Brilliant stuff!
Did you notice how his "churning" sped up after the womsn passed by him. Also fun fact: Amish nen are barred from having beards unless they're married.
On another reaction video, someone actually said that was almost NSFW. I've always liked the philosophy I heard Betty White say one time: If you're old enough to get the joke, you're old enough that it won't hurt you.
@@Roadwarrior1318 I know it because I find other cultures and customs to be fascinating. I particularly like learning about Japanese culture. Made a Japanese master of a dojo up here in Canada tickled pink when he saw me remove my shoes before stepping into the dojo. His granddaughter acted as interpreter between us. The first thing he said was, "Why did you take your shoes off?" I replied, "To leave them on would dishonor the dojo."
He probably didn't catch it being Mrs Brady or the Gilligans Island reference because he probably didn't grow up on shows like that. You have to realize that he is in early or mid 20s. Most people from that generation aren't familiar with references like that.
In the beginning of the song, when he sings "At 4:30 in the morning I'm milking cows, jebediah feeds the chickens", notice that he's milking the cows into a box of Corn Flakes and Jebediah is feeding the chickens pizza.
The reason he's pouring sweat during the chorus is to make fun of the original guy that did the chorus. He was a big guy and really sweaty during the music video.
Fun fact, Weird Al always gets artists consent to do the parodies but when they asked for consent on this one Coolio said No but Weird Al's managers told him that it was okay.
@@Chiller1967 That part really doesn't matter after it was already done. Sure, he's not stupid to say no to the checks but he was 100% against Al doing the song :D
The man is freaking genius.He can make any song into parody gold,and the thing is,he can sing.The thing is,I saw a video of a massive ass barn that had to be torn down or moved.Amish came from all over the US,they all got together and picked it up and carried the damn thing off.Freaked me out a little bit
I know you are too young to remember The Brady Bunch tv show, but I think it was awesome that he had Florence Henderson to be the equivalent to Michelle Pfeifer from Coolio's video.
I love that you're digging into Weird Al Yankovic, who I've followed and loved since I was in middle school. But, where are the KoRn reactions? You said you were planning on digging in and going through KoRn's catalog and Linkin Park, and I haven't seen either in awhile now. Especially KoRn.
Dang D-GIBB somehow someway I always miss your premieres by just minutes. And shout out to for 95 babies cuz I'm a 95 baby to. Lol and weird al is so hilarious
Al and Koolio feuded over this video because Koolio claimed a violation of their agreement. But I'm with you. Koolio was ticked off because Al's video was cooler.
When it comes to funny details, there's nothing that beats "Like a surgeon" that video is stuffed to the Gills, here's a few. - When Weird Al makes his way through the hospital there's a dead guy being wheeled out to the morgue with feet sticking out from underneath the cloth at BOTH ENDS. - In the operation room, there's an IV bag with a live goldfish in it. - When Weird Al and the other staff are ready to operate and stand over our patient in a group, there's a football player in full Jersey standing with them.
My favorite is when he's walking through the halls at the beginning, and over the P.A. you can hear a voice saying, "Paging Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard" - a straight up tip of the hat to the Three Stooges.
@@michaelrusso6822 As I recall it, when he complained to his colleagues he received no sympathy but rather was told that objecting was nuts and getting parodied by Weird Al meant that you had really Made It. Cannot corroborate, but it's logical enough.
Right! Kurt Cobain was THRILLED that Weird Al wanted to use Smells Like Teen Spirit. Guess he didn't take himself as seriously as Coolio did. And was better for it...
It is okay to pause to see all the things that Al puts in his videos. Coolie's first hit was Fantastic Voyage in 1994. He had a few smaller singles. Then Gangsta's Paradise hit. He probably makes more of the royalty checks from Weird Al now. You asked why is he sweating. In the original video LB had water misting onto his face during the chorus. So Al took it to another level.
FYI, the Amish speak English with an accent, which sounds slightly German. (Amish have German roots.) When Al does the rap parts, he actually raps with this Amish accent. It's most obvious when he says "At 4 THIRty in the MORnin I'm milkn' CO-OWs."
I love your reaction to weird Al Amish Paradise please do some more Tom Walker reaction videos I love your first one you did for him thank you and God bless
Love the beard mine is slightly longer but yours is cleaner I need a trim, fuck the haters on weird al he and his band are honestly he best in the word, think about It for a second he’s been doing this forever and he does it to ever song his band is ready for anything and so is he he still killin it old af I love him
The late, great Florence Henderson is in this video.. Rest in Peace Florence Henderson (We probably know her best as Carol Brady from The Brady Bunch.) It's to my understanding that Coolio was mad when Weird Al came out with this song because Weird Al didn't get permission from Coolio to do this parody.
I was SURE you were older than me lol, but nope! I was born in '93! By the way, if you want to experience music that's waaay out of the box but absolutely stunning and powerful, try watching Heilung's live performance of Alfahdirhaiti or Krigsgaldr. It's Germanic tribal music and they put on an insane performance.
I live in PA and I can say that this music video is so accurate to when I make the occasional trip to Lancaster. Also yes the Amish wouldn’t be on black people meet cuz there aren’t any black Amish people 😂😂 they’re all super chill though. I just don’t think I could live that life style. But hats off to them for being able to do it.

emmapeelfan I wonder how many got that one, it was real and they said that Buster Keaton was pinned to the ground so he couldn’t move
onlyusemeblade
Weird Al is a musical genius, imo.
@@launabanauna8958 Weird Al is to parody music what Buster Keaton was to comedy movies.

Young Rapscalian didn't reconize Florence Henderson.
Not just her. There are a lot of cameos in Weird Al vids that escape some people.
Mrs Brady...married to gay Mr. Brady
The Gilligan's Island lyrics went by the way side too. lol
He probably didn't catch it being Mrs Brady or the Gilligans Island reference because he probably didn't grow up on shows like that. You have to realize that he is in early or mid 20s. Most people from that generation aren't familiar with references like that.
Captain Obvious!!! I didn't know you frequented CZcams.
Even Weird Al's original music (Non Parody) is Gold
The chorus is actually Stevie wonders pasttime paradise from the 70's .
😁
Yes from Songs In The Key of Life album.
In the beginning of the song, when he sings "At 4:30 in the morning I'm milking cows, jebediah feeds the chickens", notice that he's milking the cows into a box of Corn Flakes and Jebediah is feeding the chickens pizza.
I knew the pizza but corn flakes what the hell man
The reason he's pouring sweat during the chorus is to make fun of the original guy that did the chorus. He was a big guy and really sweaty during the music video.
My mom hated this when I was growing up lol She said “Why’s he gotta churn like that?”
4:06 - A verse from the Gilligan's Island theme! His lip-syncing backwards for the last scene is genius!
The last sequence he filmed and they played it in reverse, so if you pay attention he was lipsinking in reverse.
The reverse shot was amazing and still isn't used that much.
I have seen this so many times and this is the first time that I noticed they were trying to feed the chickens pizza
He learned how to sing all of the words in reverse for the last scene? Dedication.
Fun fact, Weird Al always gets artists consent to do the parodies but when they asked for consent on this one Coolio said No but Weird Al's managers told him that it was okay.
I thought it was that Coolio's managment gave the okay before talking to him about it.
walkingdeadman19 it may have been both sides but I remember Al saying something along these lines.
Yeah but Coolio changed his mind once those royalty checks started rolling in LOL!
@@Chiller1967 That part really doesn't matter after it was already done. Sure, he's not stupid to say no to the checks but he was 100% against Al doing the song :D
@@Chiller1967 WHAT royalties, Coollio had to pay Stevie Wonder for the samples from "Pastime paradise" the song wasn't even his in the first place.
D-GiBBY: "you need to get out and off your electronics"
world in quarantine: oO
Weird al the goat at these lmao
Love the signs above your window.
40 years and still outlasted a lot of clowns. Same guys as well. ✌
D-Gibby, the woman in the video was Florence Henderson, AKA Carol Beady of the TV show The Brady Bunch.
He said he got the nickname Weird in College because he was a bit nerdy and socially awkward, over time it just stuck
0:50 LOL "that hang time"
The man is freaking genius.He can make any song into parody gold,and the thing is,he can sing.The thing is,I saw a video of a massive ass barn that had to be torn down or moved.Amish came from all over the US,they all got together and picked it up and carried the damn thing off.Freaked me out a little bit
Weird Al is the King of all Music
I know you are too young to remember The Brady Bunch tv show, but I think it was awesome that he had Florence Henderson to be the equivalent to Michelle Pfeifer from Coolio's video.
The part where he sings no phone, no motor car is right from Gilligan Island theme song.
I love that you're digging into Weird Al Yankovic, who I've followed and loved since I was in middle school. But, where are the KoRn reactions? You said you were planning on digging in and going through KoRn's catalog and Linkin Park, and I haven't seen either in awhile now. Especially KoRn.
The scene at the end also meant Al had to walk backwards and avoid the passing carriage.
I always like the Gilligan's Island lyric :)
who remembers watching this on Cable Music back in the day. before tv companies took over!
Weird Al-Hardware Store
Weird Al.... The Rye or the Kaiser. Parodying of Survivor’s Eye of the Tiger.
5:00 does exactly what gibby
*gets shot*
News - he got shot for being too nice
SUBSCRIBED!!! I've seen two of your videos and I love your Energy....
Around 2:06 the guy had a sun dial as a watch. 🤣
You know Weird Al is a Boomer. Florence Henderson from The Brady Bunch? The play on the Gilligan's Island theme song? Easter eggs for the Boomers!
5:59 did Weird Al refer to amish kids as omelettes? Amletts?
Yes, you heard that correctly.
When he is checking his sun dial, his buddy in the background is golfing?
Just found your channel, love your content/personality and your Trump flag!!! Keep it up brother. #Subscribed
By the way, did you guys know that he was feeding the chickens, pizza???
Interesting comments.
The vich''s appreciate it.
Coolio was not pleased with this. He thought moving the song into am Amish setting destroyed the spirit of the song.
Take notice that the last barn scene is shot in reverse. Genius!
Love it weird Al is the shit
Dang D-GIBB somehow someway I always miss your premieres by just minutes. And shout out to for 95 babies cuz I'm a 95 baby to. Lol and weird al is so hilarious
You really wanna Vibe out and act the fool? Check out the band “The Hu”, the official music video for “The Wolf Totem”, make sure CC is turned on 😏
Coolio is not a one hit wonder. He has three Top 10 hits and three more in the Top 40.
NEW! You need to check out his latest drop. It’s a video from Portugal the Man, featuring Weird Al. “Who’s gonna stop me”
The women in this video is the mom from the Brady bunch Florence Henderson
the main almsh female ta he was rapping to was florance Henderson aka mrs. brady from the brady bunch. hope you caught that.
No haters here.....just a subscriber bro
The blonde is mom from Brady Bunch.
Smile too much at people. They may think you're a serial killer.
Try Hardware Store, what he does in that song is crazy
Dare to be Stupid. My favorite Weird Al song.
Al and Koolio feuded over this video because Koolio claimed a violation of their agreement. But I'm with you. Koolio was ticked off because Al's video was cooler.
Don't know if you've done it yet but "Weird Al"'s parody, "The Saga Begins" using Don McLean's "American Pie"; it's perfection.
80s babies the best!
The sweat part comes from LV in the original sweating hard as hell
No phone,no lights, no motor cars, verse is from Theme song of Gilligans Island
Great reaction, dude!
Drive thru is life even tho its so long lol
Worth every second!
The best one
Same with Albuquerque. I saw him in concert and he got to the end of it then started it over.
4:53 they aren’t going to swipe left or right on anything, because it all looks like porn to them, or a swimsuit magazine.
Amen brother, get out there and just say hi
I dont know if youve heard of Jinjer. Lot of reactions to the live video Pisces. Tatiana illustrates what its like as a Pisces.
"Litty, infinity, titty" best line I've ever heard
2:09 the question we need answered, is who is that lady?
Funny thing. Coolio didn't approve of the parody. He tried to sue Al
Lancaster PA where y’all at
When it comes to funny details, there's nothing that beats "Like a surgeon" that video is stuffed to the Gills, here's a few.
- When Weird Al makes his way through the hospital there's a dead guy being wheeled out to the morgue with feet sticking out from underneath the cloth at BOTH ENDS.
- In the operation room, there's an IV bag with a live goldfish in it.
- When Weird Al and the other staff are ready to operate and stand over our patient in a group, there's a football player in full Jersey standing with them.
My favorite is when he's walking through the halls at the beginning, and over the P.A. you can hear a voice saying, "Paging Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard" - a straight up tip of the hat to the Three Stooges.
Coolio was unimpressed with this. The only artist weird al has parodied that complained about it.
But, he later admitted that he was stupid for not wanting Yankovic to do the parody, and wished that someone on his management had stopped him.
Always found that odd seeing how Coolio bit the Stevie Wonder song "Pastime Paradise" to create that single of his.
@@michaelrusso6822 As I recall it, when he complained to his colleagues he received no sympathy but rather was told that objecting was nuts and getting parodied by Weird Al meant that you had really Made It. Cannot corroborate, but it's logical enough.
Prince flat out refused to let him create a parody of his music. Al was salty about that for a long time.
Right! Kurt Cobain was THRILLED that Weird Al wanted to use Smells Like Teen Spirit. Guess he didn't take himself as seriously as Coolio did. And was better for it...

You asked why is he sweating. In the original video LB had water misting onto his face during the chorus. So Al took it to another level.
6:48 BRO 🤣🤣🤣
Coolio borrowed the beat from pastime paradise by Stevie Wonder.
Al says party like 1699 , I just realize and wonder if this a reference to Prince 1999 the song couldn’t because Prince refused.
FYI, the Amish speak English with an accent, which sounds slightly German. (Amish have German roots.) When Al does the rap parts, he actually raps with this Amish accent. It's most obvious when he says "At 4 THIRty in the MORnin I'm milkn' CO-OWs."

Dump dump dump
Joe Joe Joe... D’oh D’oh D’oh
Ugh... you didn’t catch the Gilligan’s Island reference.
I'm a new subscriber, I didn't know you were 5 years younger than me, also probably do to age, my beard is bigger.
I never knew that I’m actually older than you. I was born in 91. My beard kinda splits in the middle.
I love your reaction to weird Al Amish Paradise please do some more Tom Walker reaction videos I love your first one you did for him thank you and God bless
2 parodies Al did of Mjs songs.....Fat and Beat It. Check them out.
You should listen to some Days N' Daze their an interesting folk punk band.
Still waiting for Spiritbox to get some love. Blessed Be sounds right up your alley.
I'm a '98 baby and I believe if your born before 2000 your Allright lol, and screw the people who hate ur beard there just mad cuz they can't have one
Love the beard mine is slightly longer but yours is cleaner I need a trim, fuck the haters on weird al he and his band are honestly he best in the word, think about It for a second he’s been doing this forever and he does it to ever song his band is ready for anything and so is he he still killin it old af I love him
I don't hate your beard....jus jealous lmao mine stopped growing after a few inches lol
The name of the "porn" magazine: Plow My Field...
yeah we anit going out rite now.
2:03 bro he kinda does 😂
The late, great Florence Henderson is in this video..
Rest in Peace Florence Henderson (We probably know her best as Carol Brady from The Brady Bunch.)
It's to my understanding that Coolio was mad when Weird Al came out with this song because Weird Al didn't get permission from Coolio to do this parody.
He got permission from Coolios management not Coolio himself but later squashed it as he mentioned in his episode of Hot Ones

Weird al has some good music lobe his paradys
Word crimes and trapped in the drivethru....
Jebadiah is feeding the chicken pizza?
Incredible Reverse Lip Syncing at the end. Weird Al is the GOAT
That is actually a parody of the music video Enigma's "Return to Innocence"
Not 100%, but I think this might pre-date The Office. At the very least, it pre-dates that storyline for Dwight near the end of the show.
gangster's paradise is my favorite rap song but i love this version its great
I live in PA and I can say that this music video is so accurate to when I make the occasional trip to Lancaster. Also yes the Amish wouldn’t be on black people meet cuz there aren’t any black Amish people 😂😂 they’re all super chill though. I just don’t think I could live that life style.

Another banger
Great reaction! You should react t9 Like A Surgeon Weird Al's take on Like A Surgeon by Madonna
