奇妙な is an adjective for saying that something is unusual or abnormal in some way... due to 'weird al', I am assuming this would mean "Weird" in this context. アコーディオン is pronounced "akōdion", and is imitating the English word using katakana. And finally マン is simply pronounced and meaning "man"; again with katakana.
Katakana is a phonetic alphabet in Japanese used primarily for sounding out foreign words, it can also be used on normal Japanese words to provide emphasis, much like ALL CAPS in English. There are many ways to write out "Man" in Japanese... such as 楽人 (musical person), 楽士 (bandsman), 曲家 (musical specialist), 楽師 (Music master), or 音楽家 (Musician). マン (man) is used just to fit better with accordion. much like how usage of ubermensch (german) in English uses mensch instead of man.
An elegant and articulate explanation, and you're 100% correct about the translation and the reasoning behind it. Believe me, I know - I made this video. Nice job.
If your reading this you can't go back thar was a dad who got pissed cause he got lade off so he went home took a knife then went to his 13 year old dater and slit her neck! If you are reading this and don't forward this to 10 videos the 13 year old will be sitting on the edge of your bed girl waiting for ya when you wake up who ever takes care of you will find you in the tub full of blood with your throat slit then the 13 year old girl will come to who ever takes care of you so hurry don't b
I like this new version of the music video and I say new because part of this video was used as a video backdrop for a truncated version of this song in Al's live shows... the only difference I know of is there's some random guy ironing and serving food instead of Al.
Does anyone know who that was in the "live" version?
at Walmart, the girl is holding a paper that says that its the next big invention thing that everyone should have except for you, or something. This is similar to a line from "your horoscope for today"
