Weird Al Yankovic?

Who is Alfred Matthew "Weird Al" Yankovic born October 23, 1959) is a Grammy Award winning American singer, musician, actor, satirist, parodist, songwriter, music producer, accordionist, and television producer. Yankovic is known in particular for his humorous songs that make light of popular culture and that often parody specific songs by contemporary musical acts. Yankovic received his first accordion lesson a day before his seventh birthday? What is this Jepordy? Weird Al Yankovic is a pure genius. He has written hundreds of parodies of very popular songs so well, that he hardly ever gets denied rights to work with other artists material. There was a mix up with rapper Culio when Weird Al wanted to parody "Gangster's Paradise" into his own version with the title of "Amish Paradise" which lead to a court date for accusations of stealing material, but in the end it all worked out, as you can find the song today on one of his previous albums. He is very funny and family oriented. This pretty much sums him up in a nutshell. Who is he? A F!*KING GENIOUS!!! he takes songs, and puts his own words to them, like white and nerdy instead of riding dirty. Look at white and nerdy on YouTube.

Here are the lyrics to 'Dare to be Stupid' By Weird Al Yankovic

Put down that chain saw and listen to me.

It`s time for us to join in the fight.

It`s time to let your babies grow up to be cowboys.

It`s time to let the bedbugs bite.

You better put all your eggs in one basket.

You better count your chickens before they hatch.

You better sell some wine before its time.

You better find yourself an itch to scratch.

You better squeeze all the Charmin you can,

When Mr. Whipple`s not around.

Stick your head in the microwave, and get yourself a tan.

Talk with your mouth full.

Bite the hand that feeds you.

Bite off more than you can chew.

What can you do?

Dare to be stupid.

Take some wooden nickels.

Look for Mr. Goodbar.

Get your mojo working now.

I`ll show you how.

You can dare to be stupid.

You can turn the other cheek.

You can just give up the ship.

You can eat a bunch of sushi, then forget to leave a tip.

Dare to be stupid.

Come on and dare to be stupid.

It`s so easy to do.

We`re all waiting for you.

Let`s go!

It`s time to make a mountain out of a molehill.

So can I have a volunteer?

There`s no more time for crying over spilled milk.

Now it`s time for crying in your beer.

Settle down and raise a family, join the P.T.A.

Buy some sensible shoes and a Chevrolet.

Then party till you`re broke, and they drag you away.

It`s okay.

You can dare to be stupid.

It`s like spitting on a fish.

It`s like barking up a tree.

It`s like I said, you gotta buy one if you wanna get one free.

Dare to be stupid.

Yes. Why don`t you dare to be stupid.

It`s so easy, so easy to do.

We`re all waiting for you.

Burn your candle at both ends.

Look a gift horse in the mouth.

Mashed potatoes can be your friends.

You can be a coffee achiever.

You can sit around the house

And watch `Leave It To Beaver.`

The future`s up to you.

So what you gonna do?

Dare to be stupid.

Dare to be stupid.

What did I say?

(Dare to be stupid.)

Tell me, what did I say?

(Dare to be stupid.)

It`s all right.

(Dare to be stupid.)

We can be stupid all night.

(Dare to be stupid.)

Come on, join the crowd.

(Dare to be stupid.)

Shout it out loud.

(Dare to be stupid.)

I can`t hear you.

(Dare to be stupid.)

Okay, I can hear you now

A couple of times he's said that his favorite song is "Mama Get A Hammer, There's A Fly on the Baby's Head"

I think he was kidding.

He's also said he likes Ben Fold's song "The Luckiest." He's friends with Ben, so this might be true. But Al likes a lot of music, I don't think he really has just one favorite song.

What are the lycrics of the saga begins by weird al?

Asked by Wiki User

The following is the lyrics to "The Saga Begins.

A long long time ago

In a galaxy far away

Naboo was under an attack

And I thought me and Qui-Gon Jinn

Could talk the Federation into Maybe cutting them a little slack

But their response, it didn't thrill us

They locked the doors and tried to kill us

We escaped from that gas

Then met Jar Jar in Boss Nass

We took a bongo from the scene

And we went to Theed to see the queen

We all wond up on Tatooine

That's where we found this boy...

Oh my my, this here Anikin guy

May be Vadder some day later-now he's just a small fry

And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye

Saying' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

Did you know this junkyard slave

Isn't even old enough to shave

But he can use the force, they say

Ahh, do you see him hitting on the queen

Though he's just nine and he's fourteen Y

eah, he's probably gonna marry het someday

Well, I know he built C-3PO

And I've heard how fast his pod can go

And we were broke; it's true

So we made a wager or two

He was a prepubescent flyin' ace

And the minute Jabba started off that race

Well, I knew who would win first place

Oh yes, it was our boy

We started singin'...My my, this here Anikin guy

May be Vader someday later-now he's just a small fry

And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye

Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi

Now we finally got to Coruscant

The Jedi Council we knew would want

To see how good the boy could be

So we took him there and we told the tale

How the mini-chlorians were off the scale

And he might fulfill that prophecy

Oh, the Council was impressed, of course

Could he being power to the force?

They interviewed the kid

Oh, training they forbid

Because Yoda sensed in him much fear

And Qui-Gon said,"Now listen here

Just stick it in your pointy ear I still will teach this boy"

He was singin'...My my, this here Anikin guy

May be Vader someday later-now he's just a small fry

And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye

Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

We caught a ride back to Naboo

'Cause Queen Amidala wanted to

I frankly would have liked to stay

We all fought in that epic war

And it wasn't long at all before

Little Hotshot flew his plane and saved the day

And in the end some Gungans died

Some ships blew up and some pilots fried

A lot of folks were croakin'

The battle droids, were broken

And the Jedi I admire most

Met up with Darth Maul and now he's toast

Well, I'm still here and he's a ghost

I guess I'll train this boy

And I was singin'...My my, this here Anikin guy

May be Vader someday later-now he's just a small fry

And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye

Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi" "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

We were singin'...My my, this here Anikin guy

May be Vader someday later-now he's just a small fry

And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye

Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
