You like to see the kid with the tie on the church stage with his shirt tail hanging out. He may not be a snappy dresser but he sure is a snazzy dancer.
It doesn't take creativity to arrange a song written by somebody else? I guess that means Sergio Mendez was just ripping people off. Same thing with the Skatalites, Coltrane, or pretty much any jazz musician. They all wrote their own music as well as covering songs, and I bet they'd all tell you that it takes a great deal of creativity to reinvent someone else's song and make it your own. Plus, for whatever it's worth, I think that the Wrong Trousers write their own songs too.
wierld al just uses the beat of the song and then changes the lyrics theres a biffrence between stealing a song and using the beat of a song with your own lyrics and not all of his songs are using other bands beats like white and nerdy
Yeah. Weird Al does what are called "parodies", if you don't know waht that means than you have some serious maturing to do, because his songs are both funny and good.
rockstothebass - actually, as I understand, a parody is a legally protected artform - you actually don't need to get permission, Weird Al does so out of politeness, not legal necesity
what theses guys do is arrange covers (that's what they call it when you do someone else's song) - technically that is copyright infringement, but most small-time bands do it without paying royalties and don't really get hassled for it
@rockstothebass ....he actually doesn't even need to ask. He's protected by American parody law, but he gets artists permission anyway just keep good terms with everyone. I mean who would turn Al down?
White and Nerdy is a parody, as stated above. Also, he usually obtains permission from the label that owns the rights to the music. Not the performing artist. Because songs that are famous enough to get parodied are rarely still owned by the performing artists.
like what hudnall said it takes a great deal of talent to rearrange a song anmd make a group of people still find it interesting such as this u ur self have proven this because if ur friends or who ever gave u the link must have liked it there for they made there goal and they do make there own songs so please make sure u know what ur talking about first
Again awesome!

Don't forget Weird Al. He not only took other artists' songs, he made fun of them. Now that takes chutzpah.

If anyone still likes weird AL, they have some seriouse maturing to do.
Because his music is neither good nor funny.

Weird Al doesn't "steal" the songs.
For the most part, he gets the artists' permission before he does anything.
He has to, otherwise there'd be major lawsuits.
