This Town Ain't Big Enough for Both of Us - "Weird Al" Yankovic

- This performance is included in the jam-packed bonus disc of the Blu-Ray release of Edgar Wright's amazing documentary "The Sparks Brothers." Edgar asked me to bring my accordion to the Q&A session and perform the Sparks classic for him, and I gladly obliged. I'm sure I could have played it better, but Edgar was happy with the first take - one and done, baby!

This Al ain't Weird enough for the both of us.
I'm gonna steal this line
Actually, this Al's too Weird for the both of us. :D
😂
You know, when weird Al first hit the masses he was literally weird to people at the time, but now he’s actually just a pretty chill dude compared to shit we’ve seen now.
He got popular at a time when weird was in, and somehow he topped them all. The late 70’s early 80’s were the weirdest times and the best of times for creativity and music.
You sir, are correct....10 points.
"'Normal' Al Yankovic"
What is weird is that he's remained relatively the same and is loved doubly so for it. He's a genuine gem.
It's like how "The Simpsons" was seen as a rather crude cartoon for relatively older audiences when it first aired, and now it's practically child friendly compared to the sick stuff they show on more recently created animated sitcoms for adults like "South Park" and "Family Guy."
It’s one thing to be parodied by Weird Al.
It’s on quite another level to be _covered_ by Weird Al. High praise indeed.
Sparks was so over the top that I can hardly see how they can be parodied. They were good also :) go watch original video for this song and read lyrics and you'll see what i mean
Presumably one of those thumbs up you got was from George of the Jungle.
Why yes CZcams, I did want to hear Weird Al covering Sparks this morning :3
I can't imagine how impossibly dark the world would be without this brand of input
Maybe the world has gone dark entirely due to his brand of input?
@@buttslappingpirate no
@@buttslappingpirate Al is my sunshine, rainbows, Christmas morning, puppies and kittens rolled into one! He is the light in a dark world.
I just had a terrible thought... Is there anyone even up to the task of being this man's successor? Even a spiritual successor? What's the world going to do when he dies? If someone finds the key to unlocking immortality, or something close to it in his lifetime, Weird Al needs to be the first person to get the treatment lol
@@GraemeGunn Absolutely
Weird Al once did an interview online where he talked about the influences on his parodies. The interviewer asked about “Virus Alert” and Al responded that it was a style parody of a band he liked called Sparks, specifically from the era of their album Kimono My House. I had never heard of Sparks before, but a recommendation from Weird Al is good enough for me, so I went out, picked up that album, and fell in love. Thank you Weird Al for not only making my life better with your music, but making my life better with other people’s music too.
Wow, so Weird Al likes Sparks. This man is amazing.
You can try Sparks album "Hippo"!! Pretty cool music
We saw Sparks, in the late 70s or early 80s. They opened for Rick Springfield. 🤩😍🤩😍
That's how I discovered them too! Now they're my favorite band
BRILLIANT rendition of a CLASSIC SONG 💜
That's how I discovered them too
World's Greatest Musician
"What genre?"
"Just overall"
"Everyone else focuses. One man does it all. Al, it's 'all' with one missing letter."
You could say, It's a weird 'all.' [edit: typo]
I love how much he loves playing the accordion, you can tell just how much he feels it
Pretty sure you have to love it to be even half as good as he is with one which just goes to show how much he loves his.
His dad was a star and taught him. Look it up
@@TnTaur125contrary to popular belief, Frankie Yankovic, America’s polka king, was not the father of Weird Al. His parents were Nick and Mary Yankovic
Al is still the master of the accordion.
And to think, he could have taken guitar lessons instead?! 😳
He learned from his dad. I’m sure he’s very proud 😊
Al accordion is god-tier music!
i really don't know enough about accordion to tell if he's particularly good or not tbh
He would tell you his father was the true master.
From listening to “Eat it” as a child to watching perfection on the accordion today, this man is an Absolute legend. While I have aged 30 years, this man looks like he’s aged 5-10 years. Like wine, this man just gets better with age, and he was always a legend from the start.
I was born a week after Thriller and the Eat It music video is one of the first I remember seeing on Mtv.
Word, I was a small child when he started. Why does he look young enough to show up at my high school reunion?
Witchcraft I say!
@@michaelflammer3622 hair dye.
@@michaelflammer3622 lack of stress ages you too. Man looks like he lives stress free.
Wine gets better with age until it becomes vinegar, transforming into a whole other amazing fluid beast.
Weird Al's final evolution is still ahead of us and I'm strapped in!
40 or 50 years ago, this song was my 1st exposure to Sparks. Never heard the Weird Al cover till now. Truly a Joyously positive experience
This song is 47 years old. I remember when it first came out and seeing them perform it on TOTP, and my 3 year old mind being as confused as hell wondering if Russell was a woman and what Ron was on to be scowling at the audience and playing with a huge bandage on his finger. This song is like a Frosty Boy ice cream - often licked but never beaten. Though the covers I've heard of this song are pretty good as well.
This cover is pretty recent. It's part of the extra features for the Edgar Wright documentary about Sparks that came out last summer.
When I describe Weird Al as speaking to every generation of 13-year-old, people think I'm dissing him. But no, I mean it with the greatest respect. Anybody that can reach four generations, from gen x to whatever we're calling the kids too young to be zoomers, has done something monumental.
My dad, a Boomer, likes Weird Al, too! He introduced me to him through a Dr. Demento tape when I was a little kid and I have been hooked ever since. 🥰
I've never seen such work with accordion, and such enthusiasm while playing...Al you still amaze me.
What about weird als cover of Africa ft weezer
@@inactiveytchannel Thank you for reminding me...This dude is crazy
check his rendition of "Classical Gas!"
He is a huge Sparks fan, and this is "theee" Sparks songs, all times.
"This town ain't big enough for both of us, and I ain't gonna leave!!!"
The beginning, lyrics are fabulous 😂
"Zoo time, it's she and you time, and mammals are your favorite type, and you want her tonight.
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos, elephants and tacky tigers.
This town ain't big enough for both of us....
For about 3 months I have been practicing his song "It's still Billy Joel to me" on my accordion.
I take comfort in knowing that Weird Al is in fact still weird.
This man in 100% responsible for the many hours I spent annoying my grandmother with the toy accordion she had at her house when I was a kid.
Cheers!
It's a good way to check and confirm that, despite everything going on, the world is at least still in some kind of balance.
At least he’s stayed consistent

You don't have to be weird to be weird, but it helps. Sometimes. In this case it's nice to see him do a straight laced accordion version of one of the greatest 70's rock songs.
I took accordion lessons as a kid. It's difficult to play. This man is a national treasure.
I think he should do a Master Class for the accordion .
Seriously Underrated Comment
And a Master Class on humor!
The world needs more Weird Al jammin' out on an accordion.
All that's missing is cowbell. We need more cowbell!
It is how he started..his dad too
And when the world needed him the most, he returned.
Long ago the four genres lived in harmony. That all changed when Pop-rock attacked. Only Yankovic master of the accordion could reunite the masses, but when the world needed him most he persists. Now 30 years have pasted and our hero looks like he's ready to outpace anyone. But I believe Weird Al unites the world.
Weird Al doesn't get enough credit for his songs that aren't parodies. I would like to see a compilation of all of his non-parody material.
"Mission Statement" from just a few years ago is a great example. "Melanie" from the eighties is another.
Hardware store
Go see his new tour. No parodies in it.
@@MrStyle2 holy cow i looked at his tour after your comment it’s quite substantial
He is doing a Il advised vanity tour of north America, and it's his no parody music😊
The facial expressions are the best! Oh Al! I'll always be your number 1 fan! Sob!
I'm really hoping that the recent spike in activity on Al's CZcams channel means that he's got something new coming
You Might be on to something there!!
Same
New tour announced !!!!!!
As a classical musician, I love this. A man and his accordion jamming makes me SO, SO happy.
..But honestly, I’d probably love anything Weird Al puts out. A down-to-earth artist with his kind of genius and level of talent is so, so rare.
IT is weird indeed. Everywhere I comment, people tell me how much they love me and my content. Sometimes IT is annoying. But right now, IT would be okay. So say something nice about my content, dear ar
When I understood "The Saga Begins," my world changed. I know that song better than I know the original. Singing along with it is one of my greatest joys. My, my, this here Anakin guy ...

"Yeah, so, like, my journey started with Lady of Spain and took a fortuitous left turn somewhere around Weird Al-buquerque."
Weird Al-buquerque, New Texico? I think I went there on vacation once
If you ever somehow forget just how talented Weird Al is, read the description of this video and realize this was a first take performance... unbelievable.
in fairness he probably did practice before recording
I bow down to the Accordion God! Magnificent!
😳😳🤚
@@obscure.reference he's literally never played the accordion before this video was shot...
@@genewitch that’s gotta be some low effort sarcasm
Accordion perfection.
"What the world needs now is Al, sweet Al
It's the only thing that there's just too little of."
He’s one of a kind!! He is an American Treasure!!
No, not just for some, but for everyone... :)
Al proves that you can be successful even though you didn't have all of the advantages others have.
He grew up in a tiny house with no money. Bullied in school because he was 2 years younger than everyone. Bullied in college because he was only 16 and played the accordion.
Al is a kind and generous person. He's my spirit animal and I thank him for being such a good example of what a truely successful person looks like.
He's a Ravenclaw in Hufflepuff clothing.
Must've been tough being bullied because you were in college early 😭
@@FurianFlame129 Al started school early and skipped 2nd grade. He was only 12 years old when he went to high school. Al got beat up, degraded, had his lunch money taken from him and stuffed into garbage cans.
I heard his only friend in college tell the story of why he became friends with Al. The bullying escalated to such a terrible degree, he finally couldn't take it and he stood up for Al. The last straw was pretty brutal. They're freinds to this day.
Al never became bitter and angry, he kept dignity and never stooped to their level.
This is why I admire him.
@@zoeym4868 why you using his name so much?
@@FurianFlame129 Because I'm talking about him Keith.
This guy is a true musician.
This man is the best thing to happen to modern music. He’s aced every style and has proven that he can match quality across the board throughout his time. For big time artists in the music industry to be matched and sometimes even outplayed by someone joking around… that would be frustrating. But we need it!
let's be real though, it's not that difficult to be the best thing to happen to modern music.
I mean it is now, because Al's up there. But in some alternate It's a WonderfAl Life situation where he became a banker or something, all you'd have to do is perform with competence and creativity and actually play an instrument and you'd blow away all the music made within the last 4 decades.
I still sing just eat it 🤣🤣🤣
Without auto tune!
@@KairuHakubi Architect. He would have been a glorious architect.
That looks incredibly complicated. Such talent, a legend
I can't fathom playing this without decades of experience
I saw Weird Al live once and he was amazing. And I love Sparks!
Always a Weird Al fan, but this shows true musical talent. One take?!??! Seriously? I believe it. It's funny because I always thought the Sparks were weird, but I'm convinced Al takes the cake. Thanks for everything, Al.
Eh what a coincidence style parodied both Sparks and a band named cake was that a reference? Also yeah one take is insane! This is incredible! Al is amazing!
I’ve seen Weird Al live on three different tours and he puts on a fantastic show. He has a costume change for nearly every song and comedy bits in between. I’m so mad I missed his last tour when he was doing mostly original material.
I went to that one! No costume changes but it was still really good! Got to hear some of my favorites like "Larry", "Chrstmas at Ground Zero" and "Nature Trail to Hell". He even surprised everyone by doing a short polka rendition of several popular parody songs.
Agreed. I saw him at a fair in AZ in like 2008 and we paid maybe $10 to get in to the entire fair, Weird Al put on one of the best, most energetic shows I've seen; complete with costume changes for each song. I loved it.
I went to the Asheville show a few years ago. Really good!
@@jeffjones2463 There were costume changes with the "Strings Attached" tour (the last tour he did). It was basically like the old tours, but with an orchestra on stage as well paying along. There were no costume changes with his "Self-Indulgent" tour (two tours ago), where he played his original songs. For the show I went to, at least, he sat on a stool on stage the whole time, and just sang and it was amazing. Though, in my opinion, all his shows are amazing.
I can confirm he was the same in 1989 and 1997
when you are a fan of BOTH... Weird Al and SPARKS... this is divine.
A nice thing to wake up to
Marry me, zamhar!
@@khargrove808 hahaha! i'm flattered but i am already married. My 4 kids also listen to Weird Al and Sparks, by the way...
Still looks exactly the same. Extremely talented and so funny. Thanks for all the laughs and good times.
People so often forget that the man is an incredible musician, and that an accordion in the right hands can sound like a band.
Weird Al is a national treasure and we should protect him at all costs
Man still looks great today. Has aged well.
Like a fine wine
Yeah, definitely does not look like he's 62.
Must be his positive attitude despite everything.
That's a reward for
NOT overindulging.
When you don't 🚬, 🍹, 💊, or
"grab 'em by the p---y" ,
YOU can look that good
in Your Later Years.
@@billmurray7473 My grandpa Bob is the same way, later in life when his brother smoked and drink people started assuming he was Bob's late father.
My oldest son's first concert was Weird Al Yankovic and I couldn't be more proud to be able to have given all of my children the gift of Weird Al. Thank you, Mr. Weird Al Yankovic for so many special memories. It was your running with scissors tour. So good! Wish I could see you again!
Weird AL was mine too. Boardwalk Hall, Wildwood NJ. I still remember seeing the airplane carrying the banner advertising it and telling my brother we had to ask our mom if we could go.
You probably can. Weird Al is playing 133 concerts this year.
This guy better live forever.
I know he mostly does parodies, but this shows that he is genuinely an extremely talented musician.
You should see him and his band live. They’re all incredible musicians.
@@cucamongaduke3600 he is absolutely incredible live, I've seen him twice and while he played a lot of the same songs at both concerts, he made each show feel different. His acoustic medley of songs including like a surgeon is second to none.
Not enough people give him credit for his original music...He does great parodies but the man can also play great original songs as well
I'm a simple man. Werid Al posts something, I watch it!
Born in 81. Been a fan since 91. Always makes me happy.
Thank you for making my childhood just that much better.
I just came from an anime convention. There was a Nintendo photoshoot and someone was dressed as a character with an accordion. Every time different characters were called for photos, he'd change to music from their games and played beautifully and masterfully. This seems to be a criminally underrated instrument that I hope undergoes a resurgence.
Always a great day when Weird Al is in my feed.
Sometimes you forget how genuinely gifted Al is with the accordion
One of the BEST musicians and vocalists of my generation, The Jones Generation. I was born in 1958 into white privilege in SoCal, that I didn’t understand the reference to until about 20 years ago. Artists like Al and others, combined with my wife, made me understand that this life is a gift that MOST AMERICANS do not get to enjoy!
Makes you appreciate two things. Al is a hell of an accordianist and Sparks write wonderful music.
It made me realise how amazing the chord changes are in this song.
Hes yugoslavic, he has accordion skills in his genes, lol
Sorry but he is not a hell of an accordionist.. he kind of sucks at it.
@@rilledulu I mean he litteraly doesn't
He’s a pretty poor accordionist. But kudos for the effort.
Because of the trailer for this Doc, I have fallen hard for 'SPARKS'!
I was just listening to 'Kimono My House' this morning before turning on the internet and finding this!
What a pleasant surprise of a coincidence! 👋🏻👨🏻🦲👍🏻
Just such a treat to continue seeing you do awesome stuff like this. I've been a fan for 25 years and I can tell that you still have a lot more amazing music to share with us. Thank you Al!
A fan of Weird Al or the Sparks? I have been of both for about that long. I haven't seen the Sparks in concert though. I hope I do some day, and if they're even half as impressive as Weird Al is live, it'll be a fantastic show.
I just landed VIP tickets for his 2022 tour! It's gonna be awesome! I have been a fan since 1986. My favorite song from that tape was Christmas at Ground Zero. Must have listened to it a thousand times.
Funny 😄
Weird Al is one of the most underrated talents of our century.
I don't even know that song, but I love it when Al rocks out on his accordion! And that is one sweet-looking instrument! You're the best, Weird! ❤
Dude, you need to learn about SPARKS
@@AddSerious I already knew of them, but i kinda missed a lot of stuff from about '82 on. I've been playing some tunes here, catching up. What can i say, I was born old. \m/
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
@@MrWhipple42 Learning about Sparks and who they are changed my music listening forever... original: czcams.com/video/QAzESJ62irI/video.html
I've known this song a long time it's great. It was a big hit in the UK in the 70's
Weird Al is like cheese, he gets better, more refined, with age. Not to mention, always making the accordion look like the cool kid of musical instruments. You should give bagpipes a serious go, sir, it would be magnificent.
Yes, Weird AL is exactly like cheese. And I like cheese a lot.
He did play a character named Cheese. Cheese Sandwich.
You should listen Balkan Types (yes different types) of music, accordion as you call it is a mayor instrument in that and many other parts of the 🌎 world.
czcams.com/video/QmsDl1O-wmI/video.html
I was going to say "wine", but you're right, cheese is more fitting for Al.
God, I love this man. He just lives so completely and authentically in the moment.
Al, never change.
I ana pretty sure we al live authentically in the moment
There are lots of fake people out there.
It's so easy to overlook the musicianship.
I remember being a kid, listening to the late night madness of "The Dr. Dimento Show" on radio. A world of comedy, music, parodies and rare recordings, usually with a history lesson from the Doctor himself. Weird Al was a breakout superstar on that show, and ever since, he's been making us all smile. This is just further testament to what a talented human being Al is. All the best!
I remember listening to Dr. Demento with my kids. Loved it.
I loved Dr. Demento as well my fellow Dementites and Dementoids!
Dr. Demento was such fun listening, as it related old classics with contemporary artists. It wasn't until I moved to Massachusetts that the lightbulb went off about how much Tom Hehr I had been listening to in my youth.
@@kahoki Did you mean Tom Lehrer?

Al is back at it again making me want to listen to his music on repeat.
I was listening to a Weird Al song when I saw this video had been posted
@@_Stormfather that's what I call perfect timing l
A guy goes into a mall to buy some things. He's at the checkout and realizes, "Oh no! I left my car door open and I left my accordion in the backseat!" He pays quickly and runs back to the parking lot to find not one, but two accordions in his backseat. This is super awesome though! Thanks "Weird Al"
Always wanted to meet Al, such a creative genius!
When I was young, you were mocked, belittled, and even physically attacked for being on the fringes or outside of social norms (a nerd). Al has single-handedly raised being a nerd to a state of beauty and distinction. Bullying isn't completely gone by any means, but life is much easier for the "weirdos" of these new generations. I honestly can't think of any higher compliment to a human being.
Nerds and weirdos are the best! Period. 💪😊

Sparks is practically the most underrated band in music, wish they were as big as Queen
Glad weird al is paying them some deserved homage
I loved this song as a kid :)
Not so much underrated (at least not in the UK or Germany or Japan), but underappreciated. A lot of other bands virtually owe their careers to Sparks, and they've eclipsed them in the sales department.

Well that was impressive. It annoys me personally that I've not heard of Sparks before this afternoon. I'd feel cheated, but having Al introduce us is compensation enough.
Al will forever be the GOAT in my eyes. Man can do any genre with a freakin' accordion.
The only man who can make the accordion enjoyable. ❤️
That last expression on Al's face is just the kind of look I'd expect to see on Ron Mael's face, too.
This is completely parasocial but I want to give this man a hug for all the times he's helped me without even realizing I exist
Best thing is I’m sure if you met him he’d give the love right back. Pure soul this man beams.
Same.
I remember as a kid his fan club was called "Close personal friends of Al". I was young enough to wonder if it meant I would get to hang out with him.
Everything weird al does feels like a hug
I bought a meet an greet ticket at his Self Indulgent tour and asked if he was okay for a hug. He was.
They say you shouldn't meet your heroes. Wired Al is absolutely an exception to this. I cried with joy upon meeting him and he was darn okay with that.
Took my son to see his show years ago, now my grandchildren are enjoying his music,he's a jewel
If Weird Al has taught me anything over the years, it’s to have fun while having fun.
And... Even when you're not...
And... Even when you're not...
And... Even when you're not...
And... Even when you're not.
Even when you're not.
An accordion feels like it would be so hard to learn, and to see one played so well? It’s beautiful.
Anytime I have ever seen Weird Al live, the musicianship between himself and his band members has been insanely incredible. His best work is the songs that arent even parodies; stuff like hardware store, and thats your horoscope for today and just about anything else he does are basically genius.
This is the first time I heard accordion music in 80 years without intense disgust, unease, and violent stirring. JEEZ, AL, YOU'RE NOT HalF BAD.
The world needs more Weird Al, and it needs more Sparks.
I mean, we already knew he was GOATed. Now he’s just flexing.
My heart is so happy after watching this. Thank you, Al, Ron, and Russell!
I'm a simple person, I see "Weird Al" and I click.
Weird Al has been in my CD player in the 00’s, iPod in the 2010’s, and now nestled in my Spotify. I truly hope there is a ceremony for you one day and I’ll be the weird woman holding an “I’m your biggest fan” sign across the street because this pandemic has us broke as a joke and I can’t afford the fancy parties. 20 year listener.. and had a tin foil hat since ‘01 and I was only 11. You’re a legend.
Ron and Russell must LOVE this.... you may be the only person weirder then they are
Thank you Weird Al! I've been a fan of Sparks since 1974 and The Sparks Brothers documentary by Edgar Wright is superb!
Thank you AL. My dad played the accordion and was criticize for it. Thank you for showing what I always knew and I wish my father would have live to see . Accordions rock !!!!
It's not often we get to simply see Al playing the accordion, he is usually moving at warp speed. It was fascinating to watch.
I don't play accordion but this looks complicated as hell. The master just rips it out while headbanging and making exquisite faces, of course.
I think its not very complicated, I played it on a piano, and im an amateur. But he is a master, and such an interesting choice of song to play 👌😊

I agree! Weird Al has never been obnoxious or rude to anyone. It would be great to have a Little Al to keep in your pocket. So much better than a mood ring! Lol
I'm so glad he;s posting more frequently. The world could use a bit more weird
It’s amazing that Al is only now being recognized as the master musician he is.
Weird Al performing a song that Sparks sings, these are a few of my favorite things.
Imagine... an entire generation of children growing up without the anticipation of a new album by AL to look forward to every few years.
This performance was so incredible. I am so glad to have his music a big part of my life
no, every generation is going to grow up with al, he's immortal
OH GOD, that's heartbreaking!
yep we are doomed
He was big part of my elementary school years and completely spaced him forever and I'm so happy I've come back to this
I'm lucky. About the time I actually started paying attention to music, out comes "My Bologna" and "Another One Rides the Bus"... then came "Eat It", and the rest was history.
Always exciting to get a Notification for Weird Al's channel.
Weird AL, the only man who could play in a Accordian so well that you would want to head bang to it lolz.
Been listening to weird al and his accordion since i was like 7 years old. Ty so much for the years of music and laughs.
Weird Al is the very definition of the term "National Treasure". A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is not remotely enough.
There's an episode of teen titans go where he voices dark seid... its just amazing 🤣🤣
Oh and cyborg literally calls him a national treasure..
Agreed. He needs to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Just watched The Sparks Brothers while it was in theaters without knowing anything about the band, everyone's passion for the band spoke volumes throughout the movie, and now I'm listening to this singing along in my head. Fantastic cover, absolutely adore this.
Effortless mastery in display.
Weird Al’s face at the end was hilarious. And he’s such a talented musician.
