I would write a song "Weird Al, please parody this song!" sing the whole thing normal then squeeze Weird Al, please parody this song! into 2 seconds at the end!
mm..amish paradise is the parody of gangstas paradise which is another version of Pasttime Paradise from Stevie Wonder..so, why should Coolio be upset by Al's parody?^^
His father was born Yankovich but changed it to Yankovic somewhere between 1930 and the end of WW2. The name is pronounced Yankovik. Al's father was American born. Al is American not Serbian
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
yup! YankoviCH is actually the correct pronounciation of this Serbian last name that is original spelled Jankovic (with an accent on the c), so when Weird Al's ancestors changed the J to a Y, I'm surprised they didn't change the C at the end to a CH.
Of course I know he pronounces it YankoviK, but my point is that his family has Anglicized (changed) the original pronunciation, and the ORIGINAL pronunciation of his last name IS YankoviCH.
The last sentence "..and a fantastic perm is what weird al is all about" I feel bad for him, people always think his curls are fake. Check out a baby picture and there will be no doubt that he was born with those locks!
OMG I hate it when people mispronounce his name! People mispronounce MY name all the time, and I hate it! I wonder how he feels when people say his name wrong....
He's right, have fun with it dont' be so serious with music. Yes, there are some cases where ya do need to get down and say "okay I need to really focus on this" but just have fun, that's what I don't get about Prince, no disrespect he's truly a legend and I love a lot of his stuff but he's too serious an he needs to lighten up a bit
There's no song at 1:45. The one before that was Smells Like Nirvana (a parody of Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana) and the one after was Amish Paradise (a parody of Gangster's Paradise by Coolio).

Whoever called Al stupid doesn't know much about him. He graduated at 16, and was class valedictorian. Plus, he has a degree in architecture from Cal Poly. I think he's brilliant. This is a nice interview, except for the part about Al having a perm. His hair is naturally curly. Thanks for posting this.
Hey Patti!!!! It's Autumn from WOWAY! Thanks for standing up for Al. You beat me to the punch. Did you notice the female eporter calling him "Yankovich"? Grrr!
Actually you guys, "I'll Sue Ya" isn't a direct parody. It's an ooriginal song done in the style of Rage Against the Machine. Still a great song though.
Hi, Autumn. Yeah, I got Al's back! I noticed the "Yankovich", too. Annoying! I had to point out to my friend Sue that it's not pronounced that way, by pointing to his name on my Yankovic '08 shirt. I said "Do you see an "H"? I think she's got it now.
yeah ty 4 helping ur friend out with that, y people keep saying it with an "H" IDK, my aunt does 2, then again she is always calling hermione "Herm-oin" and hedwig "hedgewig"
Ok, I want everyone to know that rhetoricalsquirrel is the best name out on YouTube. Nice job!!! I really think Weird Al would approve. And yes, Al's voice IS awesome
I always wanted to see a interview with him. Thanks for sharing thereverend19
Yep! It's called "Like a Sergeon". You can only guess what it's about... XD On that note, you should watch the interview he did with Madonna. I laughed my butt off!
