    (Because I'm tacky)
    Wear my belt with suspenders and sandals with my socks
    (Because I'm tacky)
    Got some new glitter Uggs and lovely pink sequined Crocs
    (Because I'm tacky)
    Never let you forget some favor I did for you
    (Because I'm tacky)
    If you're okay with that, you might just be tacky, too

      I believe his parodies are classic, and naturally outlive whatever music trends come along. He's highly intelligent with a sense of the absurd which, for lack of a better word, has deemed him "Weird Al" Yankovic. I've been a fan since his earliest days on the Dr. Demento radio show. Sunday nights on KMET? That part is a bit fuzzy, but I looked forward to hearing his newest recordings. He's really bent in the best way possible.

    From the man himself:
    It was so fun. You all know who was in it… all the great celebrity friends that I’ve got… it was just amazing. At one point, Kristen Schaal turned to me and she said, “I hope we get to do this all day long.”
    It was six takes. And we used the sixth take, although takes five and four and three were all great, too, it was kind of hard to… maybe at some point Nerdist will put up take five or some kind of alternate take so you can see some of the other stuff.
    It was, in fact, one continuous shot… believe me, it was one continuous take. And for every single take, as soon as the camera was off me, I had to run as fast as I could down five flights of stairs (because the elevator was being used) while changing my clothes so I could hit my mark and be there at the end of the video.
    Jack Black killed. If you think that was the only take that was good - every single take, he was, like, clicking his heels above his head… amazing, amazing energy. And he wouldn’t even take the elevator back up, he was, like, “No, I’m gonna jog up the stairs every time!”

      I don't know if that's true, but Jack Black said that his fanny pack was a last minute decision. One of the crew had it, and he grabbed it from them because he thought it would be perfect. And he was so right. That's some comic gold.
