I'd say he's so successful because he's really funny, he's a much better musician than people realize, he works extremely hard at making everything he does the best it can be (he's a bit of a perfectionist), his band are excellent musicians who can play any style of music, and he's just a really nice guy who genuinely likes and appreciates his fans, and treats them consistently with friendliness and respect.
Also, because he's parodying current hit music, he's always pulling in new fans.

We are who we are. Some People are funny, creepy, scary, mean, and downright insane.Weird Al (Yankovic) is deliberately weird (wacky) to add to the comedy of his humorous parody songs. In real life, he is no crazier than anyone else in music or entertainment.But the short answer is: The projected persona sells records and DVDs. Well.If Weird Al wasn't weird, we would have to call him Sensible Al Yankovic. And that just doesn't sound right...He wants to be. Why else would you think.
Weird Al gets good songs and makes them funny. Michael Jackson wrote Bad so Weird Al made Fat. Avril Lavigne wrote Complicated so Weird Al made A Complicated Song.

"He has funky hair and he worked as a waiter for 3 years. See the related link below for more information." Um, no. He does have unusual hair, but Weird Al never worked as a waiter. The only job he had as an adult before he became successful in music and comedy was working for a radio syndication company, mostly in the mail room. The people who lived in his dorm in college started calling him "Weird Al," so he used it as his on-air name when he worked as a disc jockey on the campus radio station at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. The truth is, Weird Al isn't all that weird really. He has a great, wacky sense of humor but he's very down to earth and friendly.

Weird Al never does a parody of any song unless the musician who wrote that song gave him permission. So he was clearly not punished at all for that parody.
No, he wasn't. In fact he and Michael Jackson were friends, and Jackson even liked Weird Al's parodies of his songs. When Weird Al was recording "Fat" and "Eat It", Jackson even gave some pointers on the dance choreography and showed Weird Al where he filmed his own videos so that Weird Al could use the same spots.
Weird Al Yankovic's song: You Don't Love Me Anymore.But in a song lyrics quiz, it seems to be the incorrect answerA possibility:The Rembrandts song "Someone" (from 1990) opens with the line, "We've been together now for such a long time..."
Weird Al does not 'steal' songs. For one, many of his songs are entirely original, written by himself. Secondly, when he makes a parody of another song, he always, always makes sure he has permission to do so from all relevant parties.
I don't think so.
The awesome aspect of Weird Al Yankovic is that not only does he do very funny songs, but he does them with a very high level of musical expertise. Most people who do humorous music do not feel that they have to produce music that is technically excellent as music, since it's really about the comedy and the silly lyrics, rather than the music, but the result is actually funnier if you can take the music completely seriously while combining it with humorous lyrics. Weird Al shows true love and respect for the material that he satirizes, and he understands the music on a deep level.
