I don't think the weird Al band gets enough credit. They have played parodies of every genre of popular music since the early eighties. Very talented musicians.
Absolutely. You know Al starts writing immediately when "Give It Away" comes out and is clearly a hit. He's got to get the spoofs out fast while the source material is still hot and culturally relevant. So he goes to his bassist and says "Listen, I'm writing a RHCP parody, I need you to figure out Flea's bassline, we're recording Friday." Yes that band is amazing, they have to learn and master these songs by ear very quickly.
Yep. Going from Devo, to Nirvana, his band has been absolutely solid with everything they do.....including this masterpiece! I would also draw attention to their polka versions of everything in popular culture.
Dick Van Patten - “Weird Al” Yankovic’s lucky charm for a few projects in the ’90s. Aside from this music video, he also appeared in the one for “Smells Like Nirvana” and was also on _The Weird Al Show_ for its brief run in 1997.
This reminds me of; when I first came over to the East San Jose Tully Rd Chuck E. Cheese Pizza Time Theater, I've seen the modern day VG (video game) machine that spits out ticket stubs. This VG (video game) machine is called 'Quarry Quest,' it features the 'Flintstones.' And it's true you know.
The ticket stubs you get from the modern VG (video game) machine, you could win prizes with these things. Like what are the toy prizes that are on the wall.
Can we talk about how he combines video parodies of Blind Melon's No Rain and Red Hot Chilli Pepper's Under The Bridge and Give Away, I love his combination of musical and visual comedy
According to the Liners' notes on Weird Al's greatest hits DVD, it was the actual bee Girl from the Blind Melon video. Props on her having such a good sense of humor about herself.
@@kaijucifer3544 Why, what's wrong with them? It's like mentioning the sixties beat groups and somebody saying "I wish I could forget about the Herman's hermits."
I recorded this song off the radio when I was around 11 years old. I played it, stopped it, and wrote down the lyrics. 😂 then I went out and got the Alapalooza cassette. I loved it! What awesome memories 😍🥰🙏
Back in the good old days when you had to sit and wait for a song to come on the radio then you record it. No google so you get your pen and pad out and do what you did. 😎
jbrothers221 You make a decent pun and noone gets it. *sigh* The average population is getting less and less intelligent. I would say i am fairly average. Well if i were about 6 years in the past. I am a bit over average now. And atleast got your pun.
Weird Am is one of the only parody artists to become part of the mainstream and have huge hits.Sometimes his songs are better than the ones he is parodying
+Noiretirc The Peppers hated it. Saw an interview where Flea said they love Weird Al, but hated this, and didn't feel like he tried very hard here. Hell, I think he nailed them, personally...
Anthony of the Chili Peppers said "we knew we had really ARRIVED...when Weird Al wants to do some of our music..." unlike Coolio he did not get hot about it.
Kiedis never said that, to my knowledge. You might be thinking of Dave Grohl who said something similar about "Smells Like Nirvana." But yeah, Coolio was an ass about his parody.
If he did it was only after he got huge amounts of negative comments for saying this was terrible. He was a huge jerk. Guess he was jealous of the greater talent.
I heard Flea said he didn't think this was that good. I'm shocked because this is great. It's really dead on and hysterical. I would think the Chili Peppers would have loved it.
You would think a bunch of guys that wore socks on their manhood on stage would have pretty decent senses of humor and would get that it is okay to laugh at yourself.....if you don't get the humor....you are clueless and as arrogant as the rest of the a&&holes living in Hollyweird.....get over yourself, Flea...your fucking named after a microscopic worthless insect.....you MUST be able to laugh at yourself....especially such a spot on parody.....you just can't admit Al made a better video than RHCP!!
kinda funny thing was that often the 'tools' the Flinstones used often commented on being used themselves when they some kind of animal. like when Fred used a squirrel as a paintbrush the squirrel commented that he hoped he would not forget to clean because he hated going home with a sticky tail.
Every once in while I come back to stuff like this to remind myself what a genius Al is. Watch the original video, watch this. Nearly a shot-for-shot visual parody as well. Brilliant. When I have a bad day, Al makes me smile. :D
A lot of his videos of parody songs are like this, including with the original artist helping out. Michael Jackson gave Weird Al the address of the subway station used for his Bad video so Weird Al could shoot the video for Fat in the same location
It's clear that not only did Weird Al work really hard on this video and put in a lot of his creativity. He also had a lot of fun making it. The guy's a visionary, and there's no denying that the video for the original song was also strange and fun to watch.
What I always like about Weird Al's videos is how much watching them made me want to go back and watch the originals. And then have a second revelation with how clever he was to duplicate the intent and energies of the originals with his parody. He truly is a brilliant artist all on his own.
I remember seeing an interview on either MTV or VH1 where Flea said (very stoic and serious-like) that he “just didn’t get it”. “Yabba Daba Do Now? It doesn’t make any sense”. He did not have a good attitude about it. I thought, “Wow. Really?? You’re really gonna be like that?” I think someone takes himself way too seriously...” 🙄
This might be my favorite "Weird Al" video. He did the original videos SO WELL. And those aren't easy videos to duplicate! It really shows his talents as a director. I think this was the first one he directed (if you're not counting "Christmas At Ground Zero").
Some day there's gonna be kids who don't know about this, or the UHF. Nobody ever knows these parodies when I bring them up, and they're amazed when they see them. Weird al's stuff is so far ahead of his time, true genius.🙌
Here's why Yankovic is so dangerous. RHCP 'Give it Away', released Sept. 4th, 1991. Yankovic 'Bedrock Anthem', released Nov. 16th, 1993. And it's held up better. Think about that! And soak in the appreciation for everyone. Because one cannot exist without the other. And we love them both.
Literally never seen this past 1:00 in, we got a DVD of all of his music videos back in the 90s and just 0:50 scared me so much as a kid I never watched past it. I don't know why
I remember Cartoon Network in the Netherlands actually used this song and made a full music video with clips from the show. Never knew back then it was from Weird al or that it even was a parody of RHCP
Kobe Busia Kind of like keeping stats on my favorite team, I got into checking out views on Weird Al and my personal nemesis to Al, Bart Baker. I don't like him because he's made millions, not with brains and talent, but by being a total jerk to the artists he parodies. I don't respect that. I hate to see this low level humour rewarded with popularity. But it is. He has millions of views on youtube, leaving an exceptional talent like Al, in the dust. I recently watched a Making of Straight Outta Lynwood video and was blown away by Al's musical abilities. That's why I posted that comment.
That sounds about right. I consider myself a pretty independent person, so I look for quality. I wonder what makes someone who's not that good popular.
The thing I actually love about Al is that, even though he doesn't have to, since parody is protected by law, he asks the artists if it's okay if he does his parody, and if they say no, he doesn't do it. I actually remember watching, I think it was one of those old Behind the Music episodes, obviously focusing on Weird Al, and Flea said he really thought this song....basically sucked.
I always laugh so hard at both when the guitarist causally pushes that poor girl backwards with his foot and when Al realises the "upskirt" shot and covers himself lol!
I was on the set when this was shot. Got to hang with the Bee Girl. I got you guys the cartoons images for the tattoos that Rosanne put on your arms. We had a gay old time!
Where's Wilma anybody seen her, She got a baby elephant vacuum cleaner! Thats just a genius freaking line right there because she really does have one.
When we were kids my dad had Alapalooza cd and we would listen to the whole thing start to finish over and over laughing . Still just just as funny now .
Tonight, I am following the 3 hour long worm hole of CZcams that is know as "Weird Al Yankovich". Seeing videos I both forgot about and also some I somehow have never seen.
Well you take the advice of give it away now and you’ll probably end up back in the Stone Age (developmentally speaking and also with severe case of Gonorrhoea)
I'm fairly certain that if I was inside Weird Al's mind for a moment, I would go completely insane from a combination of too much laughter and exposure to pure genius.
Do you know what the difference is between people who live in United Arab Emirates and people who live in Abu Dhabi? People in United Arab Emirates don’t like the Flintstones but the people in Abu Dhabi do!
How could there be any dislikes to a comedic genius ? Laughter is the best medicine, if you can't have a good laugh what are you going to do sit around and cry all day ? 🙊🙉🙈
This perfectly parodies the caveman personna of the RHCP. I love the fact that they didn't like it. It's Al's job to puncture the pomposity of pop singers. Al is a genius.
Original Songs: "Under The Bridge/Give It Away" by Red Hot Chili Peppers. And with reference to one of my favourites cartoon series: The Flinstones. Weird Al did it awesome.
Burn Polkas On 45, Hooked On Polkas, Polka Party, Hot Rocks Polka, Polka Your Eyes Out, Bohemian Polka, The Alternative Polka, Polka Power, Polkamon, Angry White Boy Polka, Polkarama, Polka Face and Now That's What I Call Polka to a CD. Easy. :)

If he did it was only after he got huge amounts of negative comments for saying this was terrible. He was a huge jerk. Guess he was jealous of the greater talent.
Coolio-who? Oh, the old bald guy who WAS a rapper;}
I can’t listen to Under the Bridge without expecting Give It Away breaking in because of Al. This is his influence.
YEP. EVERY. TIME.
Yup!
Then these lyrics start creeping in...
Can't deny Weird Al's talent of making parodies sound as good as the originals.
Or, in some rare cases, actually better. Wordcrimes comes to my head.
When Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits would only let Weird Al parody "Money For NothingBeverly Hillbillies" if he got to record the guitar riff.
I love how he also parodies the videos in the process. It adds to his genius.
@@IamusTheFox it's all about the pentiums has a different and imo much catchier beat than it's all about the benjamins

Yep, also one of my favorite songs of that era.
If they ever make another Flintstones movie, then they need to use this in it.

When we were kids my dad had Alapalooza cd and we would listen to the whole thing start to finish over and over laughing . Still just just as funny now .
Am I the only one that thought Weird Al was Canadian? I felt stupid when I found out he wasn't. >.>

I was blown away when I discovered RHCP and learned that this is two songs mashed together.
Is it just plain wrong of me to prefer this to the RHCP song?
no i prefer this to give it away :)
No, a lot of people like a lot Weird Al's versions of songs better than the originals.
They're both brilliant.
Tonight, I am following the 3 hour long worm hole of CZcams that is know as "Weird Al Yankovich". Seeing videos I both forgot about and also some I somehow have never seen.
Did SiIva make a 'Give it away' rip?
Was the Doug Ford at 55 seconds?
He made The Flintstones relevant again.
Well you take the advice of give it away now and you’ll probably end up back in the Stone Age (developmentally speaking and also with severe case of Gonorrhoea)
I'm fairly certain that if I was inside Weird Al's mind for a moment, I would go completely insane from a combination of too much laughter and exposure to pure genius.
Do you know what the difference is between people who live in United Arab Emirates and people who live in Abu Dhabi? People in United Arab Emirates don’t like the Flintstones but the people in Abu Dhabi do!
How could there be any dislikes to a comedic genius ? Laughter is the best medicine, if you can't have a good laugh what are you going to do sit around and cry all day ? 🙊🙉🙈
Dick Van Patten appearance again is sure genius!
weird DAD yankovic
Grand Al Yankodad

arlobo1 that meme is dying quicker than HARAMBE died.
Never expected you here
I remember during late 90s early 00' that a special flintstones music video was on CN.
They showed episodes cut together.
Like...did Weird Al just walk onto the RHCP film set RIGHT after they were done? This video copies it SO well!!!
I used to love this shit as a kid in the 90s. I loved the Flintstones. Now I'm 27 and showing my kids this and the Flintstones.
This perfectly parodies the caveman personna of the RHCP. I love the fact that they didn't like it. It's Al's job to puncture the pomposity of pop singers.
Al is a genius.
Rubble, trouble, caveman stubble.
The man is a modern day Shakespeare.
Original Songs: "Under The Bridge/Give It Away" by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
And with reference to one of my favourites cartoon series: The Flinstones.
Weird Al did it awesome.
It's time for Weird Al to do an all polka album, isn't it?
all the time mah man
Burn Polkas On 45, Hooked On Polkas, Polka Party, Hot Rocks Polka, Polka Your Eyes Out, Bohemian Polka, The Alternative Polka, Polka Power, Polkamon, Angry White Boy Polka, Polkarama, Polka Face and Now That's What I Call Polka to a CD. Easy. :)
I already did and it's not enough! I mean a new just polka covers album, covering famous songs he hasn't played yet, there are too many :P
@@BedroomScenesMovie I saw one of his dad's albums at a thrift store in Aransas Pass, Texas a while back. Maybe it's still there!
0:00 - Blind Melon "No rain"
0:10 - RHCP "Under the bridge"
0:46 - RHCP "Give it away".
Laughed my head of at this one :-))
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Year 2023 this still ROCK'S
I don't understand why Flea didn't like this parody. This is very creative.
Because Flea takes himself way too seriously and Al brought him down to size.
