When I Was Your Age - Weird Al Yankovic

[brianisMYbf]

why didnt you just make a lyrics video? DUHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

[yellow6100]

You are always "when i was your age" to someone ,unless youre oldest thing on the planet.

[yellow6100]

THis aint nothing.When i was his age we Reallly had it rough!

[TheSoundboothcp]

When I was your age i took and arrow to the knee

[X2Spirals]

Whats so catchy about this song is the gutair chorus. It makes this song sound original instead of a crazy song mocking parents. xD

[yaosio]

When I was your age we knew how to make youtube videos!

[DancesOfTheAngel]

Im 13 and technology is involving fast enough that Im already doing the "my age" stories XD

[yaosio]

@DancesOfTheAngel Back in my day I started saying back in my day when I was 4 years old. You lazy kids! :argh:

[MrAlekz]

Didn't have Nintendo, we just poured salt on snails

[xXxmtdoomxXx]

this might be one of the funniest songs weird al ever did

[artistwithouttalent]

@wolfman247 That's not mud...

[Scelerific]

I'm only in my early 20s, and already, I've begun the "When I Was Your Age" to the elementary kids and preteens.

[theseamusexperience]

lol

[darkdialga777]

@wolfman247 a place full of sand and no water its DESSERT SPELL RIGHT sorry

[weirdalfan1980]

@darkdialga777 lmao all of you whiney nerds its a type-o who cares, just breet and reeeelaaaaxxx

[Headphoneguy92]

@martymc58 i'm fine with hearing about how things were, in fact some of it fascinates me. Old technology especially. I still want a fax machine, send drawings and shit!

However I hate when I get criticized for being a child of a different time, and though im sure there will be things in my childrens lives that i'll oppose or envy, I wont hold all of that against them, and if i envyed something, id adapt to it.

its never too late to opt new technology

[garymc2000]

70 years from now...

Great-Grandkids: I sure love my iBody and my iMac 40th generation!

Me: When I was your age, we had CDs and digital downloads and the internet and youtube, and last but not least, which we cherished, Weird Al.

[noahalmighty77]

great song in the style of don henley - dirty laundry

[bbdoogie]

@noahalmighty77 Gotta agree! Every time I hear "Dirty Laundry" I always think of this song lol.

[SuperNyland]

When I was your age, Youtube videos were just color slideshows!

[Frogman77701]

I was born in the early nineties, and I find myself ranting to little kids about much better games and music were when I was their age. How I didn't have fancy Ipads, Ipods, CD's, DVD's, none of the like but I was happy with what I had.

I'm 18.

I guess just as the kids that do drug and get pregnant get younger (as you'll often hear me complain about) so are the kids who rant about how awful the generation is.

[WTFmoviecompany]

well Xaverri I laugh with you

[TheSupermoviemaker]

I would complain!

[JoeRingo118]

when i was your age we didn´t have cars.

they didn´t have horses back in the stone age.. anything you wanna add?

[may11980may262001]

@ Xaverri I Liked The Video It Was Cool And Original

JAY

[trankquilizer]

Since when do you pay rent to live in a box?

[Termitater88]

@trankquilizer since he was your age.

[ProudScotsmanRex]

244 people got desert!!

[EvanMeeker]

Had to sell My internal organs just to pay the rent lmao

[TheTanzim091]

when i was your age we had no condoms!:p

[CWigs67]

I agree with imtheoperator.....this is truely underrated Weird Al!

[mrrdwileyjr]

242 people had to walk butt-naked through 30 miles of snow

[imtheoptimator]

Seriously, one of the most underrated Weird Al originals...

[TheCoachZed]

@imtheoptimator

Pretty sure this is supposed to be a Don Henley parody....

[PhantomModsCOM]

well hes right....an im 14

[martymc58]

I have reached the age where I now am telling "when I was your age" stories to my friends and coworkers. I hear the voices of the old guys that I knew when I was the young guy. Their voices are coming out of my mouth! Life is a weird joke.

[hasjkdhlsjakDHLASJKD]

@martymc58

it`s called habitus :)

[ProudScotsmanRex]

@martymc58 I Absolutely feel ya

[KUUSproductions]

@martymc58 Right. And it has been since I was your age ☺

[ionlycomment126]

I read a newpaper article about how rowdy and disrespectful kids were becoming. It was dated in the 1800s :)

[eternity899]

@BishopJosef well i for one agree with the song, kids nowadays are so disrespectful and ungrateful. not that parents know how to raise their children... but thats another topic

[ionlycomment126]

@eternity899 I think it's the fact that people don't think on whether to have a child or not and then they realise that it's not so easy, don't know what to do and just let them do whatever they want.

[I0lcatz]

@wolfman247 1:57

there was no desert

[TheResidentSkeptic]

George Hrab has a song by the same name.

[mrpankau]

242 just came back from walking butt naked through 40 miles of snow.

[Phlexxon]

@wolfman247 WHAT?! ULTRA

[rickface13]

242 kids listened to this song

[woodtick71]

@dingetje the cool thing to do was use msn to message the person sitting right beside you in computer class lol

[woodtick71]

@dingetje do you remember internet in the 90s? it was the most awesome slowest thing ever.

[jayohenn]

thanks for uploading my kids did not appreciate how funny this song really is. I guess you have to be a geezer to appreciate it.

[Inyaa]

whats the original song of this?

[bigfootskitty]

@Inyaa you're listening to it! this is an original. That's a slap for the peanut butter and jelly face, little pre pubescent, hater on the hooked on polkas list who says Al ONLY copies other peoples songs! Besides, it isn't exactly EASY to make up funny lyrics that fit at the speed of the music. Actually, weird Al has many original tunes, Often "in the style of" some band but not 1 of their songs. like close but no cigar, sounds like "cake" or I'll sue ya, like" Rage against the machine".

[rickface13]

@Inyaa this is the original

[Inyaa]

@rickface13

I realise that now.

[gootchman]

i sang this song at my talent show in 5th grade

[MatthewCVR]

@BishopJosef Exactly!

[manganerdlgh]

go pouring salt on snails! its surpisingly fun. . .

[94GuitarLord]

When weird al was my age he released his first demo in 1976.After a snow hike with a nudist collony

[rickface13]

how could you not like this song?

[littleone1193]

@rickface13 i know, right?

[mrpankau]

One of my three top songs by Al!

[DespicableMegaGeeks]

That is so true and i like the colors! =D

[fTn768]

241 people had everything handed to them on a silver plate

[equal4ont]

This sounds like the Monty Python about who has the worst life. :D Great song. Weird Al is hilarious:D

[hofmannsapprentice]

@equal4ont there were 23 of us living in a shoebox in the middle of the road, and if you tell that to the youth of today they just won't believe you!

[trankquilizer]

You have to pay rent to live in a cardboard box? that really says something about the economy back then...

[LordofWuss]

@trankquilizer

Ah yes, the "Four Yorkshireman" sketch.

That sketch and this song go together perfectly, somebody should put them together somehow using all this computer technology we got nowdays.

[ddis29]

@LordofWuss wow, someone as nerdy as me online, go figure.

[ddis29]

@LordofWuss and we can eat albatross while we watch.... you're not sapposed to smoke that

[bluewolfhowler]

Parody:

4. any humorous, satirical, or burlesque imitation, as of a person, event, etc.

[Dage13]

some poeple had it lucky, i had to go 63 miles to school on top of a mountain. then cut down a tree and whittle it down so i can have a penic.

[Dage13]

@Dage13 as has you can see i can spell pencil, because it was hard doing my homework going to work in the cotton fields and working 23 hours a day.

[bunnythefox1984]

well thank you for uploading it, most epic! and the graphics are not really that bad.

[crazyjammer81]

i love this song and thats ur hotoscope for today best 2 ever

[JerpisXav]

That's some hell of graphics :D

[bluewolfhowler]

I guess you have to be about 100 to claim what he is singing, lol.

[ManekiNeko1972]

@bluewolfhowler My dad was the same way. He said that in his day, the women had the ponytails and the men had the tattoos. So I told him "Yeah, AND you knew the names of all the U.S. Presidents. Although, there WERE only twelve at the time!"

[MatthewCVR]

@ManekiNeko1972 LOL

[Karlslasher80]

Weird Al sure is describing what niggers go through!

[marshmello3455]

@Karlslasher80 Why would you say that? I mean, really: why?

[LEON13858]

@Karlslasher80 dude . ok for a start awful term secondly how is that funny or relevant to a song about age not skin colour .you filthy racist

[trankquilizer]

@Karlslasher80 hes not describing niggers, hes describing your poor ass family

[liverpoolforeveer]

most. epic. video. ever

[jalfcat]

ooooo colours :D

[badseed247]

IMO this it Al's best song.

[radiostamen]

Sounds what I used to tell my daughters.

[iwaschosenforthis]

if we were really good we didnt get desert!!!!!!!HA!!!!!!!!

[schuyoff]

...didn't have Nintendo we just poured salt on snails!... LOL

[timwaagh]

weird al rocks :P

[ezerhauden]

@wolfman247 maybe the snails they salted for fun

[TrampVamp]

this is inspired by the monthy python skit, must be!

[kingincrimson]

@TrampVamp which one?

[doglover100ify]

Ok, Al. U want us to beleive that as a child, you and your 72 siblings lived in a box, walked butt naked for 40 miles to get to school, then worked in the Coal Mining industry for 22 hours, AND, you have no internal organs? I higly doubt that

[Man7eck]

@doglover100ify not only that, but he slept on broken glass too.

[Zeruckiven]

@doglover100ify wait . . .are you saying you don't believe him? any man who gets cut to peices and has his brain used as a frisbee is someone you should respect and trust!

[jonathanman111]

@doglover100ify its true

[jonathanman111]

@doglover100ify plus its a joke

[scottb80]

@doglover100ify It's a parody he's not being serious.

[MsRandom303]

LOL psychedelia+best Weird Al song (LOTS of competition)=LOVE IT.

[ToujoursMoi920]

Let me tell you, junior, you never heard me complain..... LOL LOL Love this song!

[devilchildpro]

im gunna make a video to this me bening an old guy with a beard tellin off a young kid

[wyrmlaf]

By the way...the video is crappy. ;)

[Loobs666]

The strange thing is, if Mark Rothko had painted the scenes in this Video... it would be worth millions!

[DuskY1991]

This tune kicks ass. =D

[TheGroop1]

does this remind anyone else of the four yorkshiremen skit by monty python or john cleese graham chapman and marty feldman i don't really care but does it

[Loobs666]

@TheGroop1 We used to live in a paper bag in a septic Tank!

[Movies4you24]

when i had roid rage lol my version

[gsppcrocks10]

"Didn't have Nintendo, we just poured salt on snails!" Now that sounds fun to watch.

[JaredSpry]

When I was young, we were so poor, that at Christmas we got a piece of paper in our stocking that said "coal."

(okay, not really, but it goes with this song)

[dude245245]

@JaredSpry dont joke like that .thats what i get

[suicidesucks08]

this video is shitty like your face......

[TheQuark6789]

I'm just wondering...how do you walk uphill both ways?

(not mentioned in the song)

[dravarian26]

@TheQuark6789 have MC Escher as you town's designer.

[TheQuark6789]

@dravarian26 LOL

[eternity899]

heh ppl u fail...

first some guy who uses yt to send videos

and then some guy who has nothing better to do than pick a fight with the other one

honestly the things ppl do for a little attention

[horder1234]

nice video dude

[Lolmance]

Sleeping on broken glass after 22 hours in a coal mine xD that sounds kinda exhausting

[thrasher729]

this vid pwns



[notoriouswhitemoth]

@BishopJosef they're always exaggerated about a thousandfold, and by now they're a couple generations obsolete, but this.. genre for lack of a better word came out of the Depression

[nixima1]

thanks for the song :)

[buildersteven4]

i like this music

not very hard to make that colors but its alot better then just a picture of Wierd al

[JaredSpry]

@buildersteven4 yeah you spelled wierd wrong. It's weird. Well, that's what I get for having a mom who read labels for some company to check for errors. *sigh*

[SunDevil1984]

"... then he'd get too tired and he'd make us whoop ourselves"

LOL

[Musicgirls101]

Oddly enough, I like it. Colors!

[DrFrankLee]

You know I never would have noticed the videos crappyness had you not pointed it out, But however I still enjoyed it very much. You are being way too hard on yourself. Now there there would you like a hug and a midol...... Perhaps some nice warm sleepy time tea and a change of tampon. I am just joking with you I LOVED IT. Now go bake some cookies or do the laundry or something you big sensitive woman.

[Thearl]

Thanks for the post.

[MakDakProductions]

does this parody anything, or is this an original?

[jjl666420666]

@MakDakProductions i believe this song is an original

[nixima1]

[SlightlyAmiss]

[RomanoGiovanni]

I put this video on my MySpace page. I love it. The page loads and the song plays, just like that. It's awesome!

[kimmie508]

LOL... played frisbee with my brain... that ALWAYS makes me laugh...

[The1Hater]

you know you can upload without making public, or disable comments, right?

[KazeNoUrufu]

Why complain about the colors? They´re nicely -80´s-ish.

[TheBanyanEmperor]

One of the best Weird Al songs ever.

[peaceloveandrock1]

were there supposed to pix in these slides?

[LillyTeamRocket4evr]

Poor Al.. XDD

[midnightspark1031]

LOL im on my sisters account

[ofgs2]

ROFL song!

[talkape]

AWESOME

[TomoToph]

My all time favourite song line:

'In my day we had thing called disapline!'

Ah, those were the days.

[freshlikemastercheif]

@TomoToph Not being a douche or anything but, it's Discipline* :D

[TomoToph]

@freshlikemastercheif Thank you. I'll try and remember that. What a strange language we have.

[randomgirl10101]

we had to sleep on broken glass!LOL!

[edstone1]

Reminds me of a monty python skit.

[PrincesTomboy]

... poor snails. this is an awesome song XD

[Delalcon]

How did they go to school and manage to work 22 hours a day? O.O

[parrygrippvideolover]

@Delalcon

 they only had 1 hour of school and 1 hour of sleep and 22 hours of work

[horriehomepage]

I love how somehow they were able to walk to school butt naked through 40 miles of snow, and also work in the coal mine 22 hours a day for half a cent hahahahahaha. This is a work of pure genius.

[mastodonseven]

@horriehomepage lol nice man/women

never thought of that :)

[namekman01]

used to wait in line for hours, not even knowing what i could buy, but it wouldnt be a luxury like toilet paper, i nearly got shot 3 times, i sometimes had to cook trees to eat,

you are just a spoiled brat

[Andernerd]

Worked in a coal mine 22 hours a day, walked 80 miles in the snow, used my teeth to cut the grass, got whipped by my dad, and even whipped myself. That's one full day.

[jellywillreturn]

I actually think the visuals are great.

[MetalheadSteven]

yeah its better then looking at a black screen

[T0457]

Monty Python ( four yorkshiremen sketch) rules lmfao

[8ballchamp69]

there were 73 of us livin in a cardboard box

[apocalypsefun]

chopped into pieces and brain uses as a frisbee? That has got to be traumatic.

[6532MegaPixel]

worked in the coal mine 22 hours a day! Ha Ha Ha!!

[Pentophobic101]

Screw "Walk to school in five feet of snow...uphill...both ways"! This is a million times better! And *cough* more convincing!

[docthemetalfreak]

When i have kidz n grandkidz one day im just gonna play em this song instead of wastin my breath on em.

[Delalcon]

Guess he's more talking about you ?

[timestrail]

i dont think the colors are crappy, better then most stuff i see tbh, nice video 5/5

[qazwsx0987654312]

i hate parents cause thats all they say, when i was a kid i didnt get it so easy!!!!!!!!!! fts yea fine you can have that but when you were in 8th you were doing the work we did in 5th stfu

[annonimitie]

[qazwsx0987654312]

smart one

[spinynorman230]

he took the 73 living in a box from monty python

[666jimipage]

@spinynorman230

I actually know the skit you're talking about, but I don't think it's really plagerism. That's a fairly common theme, i've heard it in several other places.

i never claimed it was plagerism, its just and interesting fact i thought
