[skg24]

damn Al gets da ladies

[Raqubor]

Can someone tell me titles of the films that are cut together?

[SuperEmjo]

@Raqubor What do you mean cut. This is the music video.... Weird Al made it.

[RockGuitar1]

@SuperEmjo he's talking about 59-107

[ccraig1995]

@SuperEmjo Some of the clips are from the movie Johnny dangerously, which also used this song as It's theme song

[TheCookehMonsterr]

@Raqubor Johnny Dangerously

[brianheatherfreeman]

This video rocks. I love Johnny Dangerously, best gangster comedy ever made in my opinion.

[MegatonMadMan]

this song is infinitely better than the movie it was in

[trainman666]

@MegatonMadMan I respectively disagree with your opinion. The movie was very funny. But if you don't like the movie that's your choice. I just live the line "You should hang me on a hook Johnny. My father hung me on a hook once. ONCE!!" I just love that line. And I also love the part where Johnny is running from the cops in a car decorated in ducks and bunnies. I nearly collapsed because I was laughing so hard at that.

[SVFreedomFighters]

1:29 great boss you got there, always on his toes.

[Ablethe7]

damn johnny dangerously its all i can say

[RawrToSkittlez]

Haha At first I thought this was a Hannah Montana Parody xD I would love to see that.

[notyouraveragething]

Am I the only one who thinks he's kind of sexy?

[JMein13074]

2:22 sounds like the perfect exposition to sum up the film

[hipsterpad]

this seems like it should be the theme song to something

[nemogre]

the 80s shredder is so out of context!! xaxaxa

[blackcats70]

whos weird al makin fun of in this vid

[hillsarealive4eva]

It's very obvious that the tap shoe sounds and the tap dancers are NOT in sync.

[shmorkey3]

if i were rich i would be getting so much women to get my friends jealous

[thefunnyfunnyboy]

[prime251]

The dude with the guitar is that Dee Snider from Twisted Sister?

[darklink1026]

94 people lied o:

[Availelle]

I really wish there was sheet music for this, or even a YouTube piano tutorial. Anyone?

[bluebarrymasher45]

@Availelle Yes

[jank98]

[RazorFang18]

[bluebarrymasher45]

@bigkitty27yt xD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Michaelis4ever]

He looks the best in this video

[aleahheart]

awesom!

[RazelG]

The reason for all the Johnny Dangerously clips is because this was the theme song for the movie....seems pretty obvious.

[Doughnut189]

Weird Al Capone

[IndyX]

@Doughnut189

Alright. I admit. That was clever.

[iarewanthungry]

why the hell was there soo many johnny dangerously clips in there?

[bluesamranma]

Whats up with the johnny dangerously clips

[ChrisCa1601]

@bluesamranma The reason clips from Johnny Dangeroulsy were in Al's video was because that this song was in the opening credits.

[heatmanson]

@bluesamranma this is the national song of Johny Dangerously...the song is in the movie sometime....during the end and credits i think

[stitchstud]

You know, I was talking to some grade 7 about music, he said he had never heard of weird Al Yancovic! WTH? What do the schools teach these days?

[born2bhyper]

@stitchstud weird al's actually more popular with younger people...when i was in grade 5 i was a really big fan =)

[tjcross2]

@stitchstud no idea i knew of weird al when i was 8 (about 8 years ago) when i popped a tape recording in the recorder and found the first bit of music i liked still have the record

[Microviper2k8]

@stitchstud 50 cent, snoop dog, jedward, justin beiber... you know, shite.

[aandrewwggilchristt]

@stitchstud thats impossible!!!!!!

[Omfgwhtavid]

@stitchstud Grade 7, not weird Al Yancovic

[MrWonderkid118]

@stitchstud Obviously the lack of spelling.

[OperationAnime262]

@stitchstud

Obama!

[theawesome288]

@stitchstud guess its all justin beiber and stuff these days, but i agree, this guy needs some respect!

[lewisgunner1]

[Credithelper75]

Long Live Johnny Dangerously! Ju Fargin Bastages!

[HedwigGraymalk]

This is possibly my favorite Weird Al song of all time.

[InvaderZim4ever1]

[awinxa]

what's the name of the original song?

[Jourell1]

@awinxa there isn't one. In fact this was first original piece,and he does do original songs occasionally. It was commissioned as the theme song for the gangster spoof "Johnny Dangerously"

[TheAnimefan112]

@awinxa don't cry because every1 is being mean to you, dumbfuck.

[awinxa]

@TheAnimefan112  your stupid ******

[hakkai999]

Weird AL looks good in anything. A lab coat (Rocketboom), tux, etc. ANYTHING. but i prefer him with short hair

[lavreyes]

@hakkai999 yankovic is best with long hair!!!

[gumbo1197]

[hakkai999]

[pytko3]

If I were rich, I'd pay to have this as my official theme song.

[virusmaster27]

@pytko3 That's why you're not rich :/

[blablubly]

[OriMedian]

[TheOrphion]

[12buddy89]

What is this original song called?

[CptEdwards]

@12buddy89 it is an original i think

[Roxxxxxxxbottttter]

@12buddy89 Not a parody. It was the theme song for "Johnny Dangerously," a seriously funny movie. Watch it.

[mirekelite56]

don't you think theme songs would be a little shorter, unless it's one of those lod movies in which the credits roll first

[Watcher863]

@12buddy89 this is original

[exilejoe]

[holluschickie]

Any video wherein Michael Keaton invokes Weird Al (or the other away around) os OK by me!!!

[lippy1994718]

what movie is the scene where he hangs the guy on the door from?

[kdraper2007]

The movie was "Johnny Dangerously" starring micheal keaton & Joe piscapo. this song was the theme song for the movie.

[marwei92]

"Notes * "This Is the Life" is Yankovic's first single to not contain any parodies."

[isilder]

But it is a parody.. it contains lots of paradies.. just not of any one particular song or character or show.

Its a parody of the category of "Its great to be rich and famous anthems", its a parody of all the songs in that vein.

Well, telling the truth is the joke here, but those songs don't tell the truth ..

its a parody for saying the opposite, even if what it says is true

[Mikkeltheslayer]

nice lady on 2:33

[josfxj122008]

I like how the lady at 2:54 tries to take the paper bill on an old mans head but takes it along with the wig!

[blsmith1128]

It's from the movie "Johnny Dangerously" starring Michael Keaton

[lupielady]

spoof of those guys (and gals) at the top of this govt. now that's what it is

[HarkkenZbeast]

He he michal Keaton at 1:51

[HarkkenZbeast]

What is the name of the actor at 1:51 he plays batman i think at one point

[kellytje66]

good song

[TheNo1andres]

whats this a parody of i didnt realise al wrote so many of his own tunes

[knuserne]

Is that dave mustaine playing the guitar? :O

[MrSydeshow]

dave mustaine you fuckwit why the fuck would he do a song like this you got rocks in your head buddy you even listen to megadeath its the same people from his band that he started with

[knuserne]

Who are you to jugde?

[englishcomedy258]

can we have your moped?

[JenniMystic]

I liked 'Johnny Dangerously", reccomend it.

[AFreakingDumbaccount]

@mikekaz

Its a bit like stuck in the drive through or secret agent man, its just a spoof of that sorta music in general, in this case the sorta big musical numbers i guess

[littlemissmuffinbabe]

Love it!

[mikekaz]

What song is this a pardoy of?

[PaluaWahine]

@mikekaz It's not a parody.. on each album Al releases, one half of the songs are originals. They're often "done in the style of" like this one, which is a sorta 20s charleston type of song. But Al is a ROCKSTAR song writer.. he doesn't only do parodies. :)

[mikekaz]

i totally agree, he is an awesome song writer, i wish he comes back to baltimore, i missed him the last time he was here. bu i heard somewhere it was a parody, and i was just trying to find it.

[Jokerman78718]

i have no idea?

[Nateenka]

Johnny Dangerously is one of the best movies of all time. Too bad not everyone knows about it....

[bradwolf07]

Such a classic movie

[CptEdwards]

that dance thing would be EPIC to do i front of your dance teacher that you hate for good reasons

[emfleisch]

what the hell

[madisonavechic]

johnny dangerously is seriously one of the funniest movies. great characters!

[hhibben]

this is the answer to all rab

[lordgoku11]

Weird al is my role model i would pay everything to meet him

[oc5nsli341nforce4]

Life after being bailed out as a banker, high on the hog.

[FLPman]

one of the best al songs ever

[hevilla33]

good! :D
