It's this guy who inspires me to write parody songs too :P. When I get the money, i'll buy an accordion and learn how to play it. He. Inspires. Creativity.
Ok to clear up any confusion, the beginning and end parts of the chant is actually an Indian technique known as "Pandhant", which is used primarily in a form of Indian dance known as Kathak. The reciter uses "bols" (rhythmic words), in Al's case he was saying something like "dha dhe dhi na". I won't even try to spell out the rest of it, because he was going really fast. As a Hindu, and a huge Al fan, I have the utmost respect for him for pulling that off.

hay guys em wen i was goning to write dis comment i was gonna say some tin about why the dislike button was there but i was gonna say why the (bad word here) is there a dislike button but if i wrote that word id have to go to confetion!!!!!!!!!!!
i know theres a dislike button thats uneeded but think about it if there was no dislike button wat the hell like theres justin beiber songs on utube soooooo u get wer im comin from
Ok... i need an idea of how to act at a Weird Al Yankovic show... i might be going to one with my mom (an anti-Al person)...AWKWARDD. But when this song comes on im going to SCREAAMM.
Speaking as an aspiring professional musician, I think the Weird Al band would be my dream gig. A wide variety of music, longevity, and funny costumes...who could ask for more?
@ManOfManyLolz Yeah. If the world were ruled by sarcasm, any Justin Bieber product would have a yellow and black warning sticker that said, "WARNING! Not recommended for ages 15 and up."
awsome! but wtf was with the weird !oises after 4:00 ish? i heard stuff from iceage, boom shakalaca, and bird is the word. it was either freaky or hilarious. still not sure which.
and the "if ou kill him youll be unemployed" gets me everytime! lol, really have to becareful in this economy.
In the 60s,if you were on the old batman,you made it!!!In the 80s,if you made the simpsons,you made it!!!Any day,if you were spoofed by weird al,you made it,big time!!!!Coolio should think about that!If this man ever covered any of my songs,id explode with pride,have a heart grabber,& drop happy!!!!!!!!

Or performing dressed as a blue chicken and being awesome for that [as seen in another video].
