"Weird Al" Yankovic - Close But No Cigar

[Lando360]

What type of music would this be classified as? Not Weird Al, but this specific song? Like the use of trumpets and stuff?

[StefanHan1]

Julia is the best..

[SMX555]

SO WRONG!

[hipeoples434]

dirty dirty video xD

[theupcomingdrummer1]

jakie ftw

[TAwako10]

i like jilian the best.

[russellbleach39]

I like janet the best xD

[lucaslmgv]

Close but no cigar? Millencolin reference?

[dragonclam1]

no cigar? but i want one lol

[Lordgeek4]

Dumb ass cat, I would have moved to "Utah" with all three of them. P.s. For any dumb people who don't get it, you can get married to as many people as you want in utah.

[mamapeacefully]

that's been illegal for years, actually

[Squally2005]

..........Are you really that stupid or were you dropped on your head when you were a baby? Polygamous marriages have been illegal for a while in Utah.

[TheRedkitten999]

Awesome video,awesome song.Weird al your the best artist and whoever says otherwise gets pimp-slapped!!

[TheRedkitten999]

I mean it's enough to break up with them but to eat them? That's just mean

[nickelbacking13]

oh, pure epilepsy

[garrettanderson983]

cake's musical style

[TheRedkitten999]

Pimpin song,Weird Al RULEZZ

[varishnakov]

John K is God.

[DavidAMcLaughlin]

Love this song, and the video is fab! :-)

[nicholaxxx]

wow, I can't believe weird al parodied cake *thumbs of approval*

[seethebob]

wow they are both blue at 1:10 thats weird

[13Ragingrhino]

1:10 does anybody else notice both eyes are blue not red and blue.

[aphsknight74]

Take another look, they're purple.

[13Ragingrhino]

your absolutely right! :)

[drillbull]

yeah and his nose is purple

[skatermonkeygirl159]

this is so... uuh...JANK!!!

[harrypotterwen]

I totally agree Jourreve, I couldn't believe this video. I had a totally different image in my head when I listened to this song. I didn't even realize Weird Al did this kinda videos...

It kinda ruined the song for me.

[TheRedkitten999]

I mean if i was a guy i wouldn't brak up them

[TheRedkitten999]

WoW he had some stupid reasons for breaking up with those girls

[Hayvol]

duh....the point was that the cat was shallow

[Jourreve]

I love the song, but the video... it's funny if that's your kind of humor, I s'pose, and the whole cat's-point-of-view thing was interesting -- but it just doesn't really fit with the song, in my opinion. o__o But that's just me, I'm not trying to put down John Kricfalusi or his skill or anything. :P

[Koneko716]

he's pretty picky for a cat. aren't they the kind of hump 'n' go animals?

[TheRedkitten999]

Lol That's true!!

[Sukanar]

exactly. that is why he did a video like this... as well as to show how ppl are who have commitment issues... and phobias... they literally will leave the person for a stupid reason like, he was too clingy, or he was too kind... or he had weird feet...

[ictoansict]

Actually, that's dogs your thinking of. cats are the ones that are secretly enslaving the human race(but they're so cute we let them ^.^)

[austin777136]

what's wrong with having Joe Dirt on DVD?

[jamespatrick15]

what parody is this of

[nutbuster5000]

WEIRD!

[seargentkong]

I want girl #2.

[mostlylikeable]

ONE OF HER EAR LOAVES WERE A BIT TOO BIG? OMFG! That cat is a lil' too Vain!

[MrWarners14]

What was it like to work with John K?

*CURIOUS*

[jabbaboy313]

i would keep girl 3 2:36

[GamerTony09]

Its a parody of the song style of Cake.

[13Ragingrhino]

Love the song, Hate the director.

[bealtespip123]

Yeah,I think it's by John K.The same guy that did Ren & Stimpy. Looks like it. I'm not sure,but I don't like his art direction either.

[goofygoober91202]

What an ugly girl....

[BillDing42]

This song is amazingly catchy.

[pgdarth95]

joe dirt sucked i would've dumped her to,

and it is a little to trashy. good song, bad video.

[AmishParadise27]

What cat eats his girlfriends after he dumps them

And what's with that list??

[Spawn0fKratos]

wow that cat is retarded

[BDawgg420]

What song is this ripped from?

[PrestonProductions1]

u mean parodied from? i have no idea. but some songs weird al has r his own. like not a parody of anything

[itemforty]

This video is ridiculously trashy. Doesn't fit with Weird Al's image.

[ak0087]

Spümcø is tight but the song is stupid.

[Robloxfan888]

the cat in the trash can is cute

[stealbugsy]

I know that this is an original song, but I think he's trying to do this song in the style of Cake. Anybody else hear it?

[KeithJ919]

Well, it probably is a spoof of Cake then...you know he re-makes other songs and makes fun of them...right?

[bobobobo568]

Very Ren and Stimpy like.

[WDNoodles]

that's because the person who created this music vid for al also made ren and stimpy.

[ashleycon123]

i love the cartooning

[rayu54]

Any one ever notice at around 1:00 his nose is purple and then it switchs to a pinkish color then back to red???

[sketchybubblegum]

this is awesome it's very cartoony

[BanjoBoy123]

John K's a god... Weird Al's a god...

PUT THEM TOGETHER AND YOU GET THIS AWESOME MUSIC VIDEO!

For all who don't know, John K. created Ren and Stimpy.

[bealtespip123]

I admit,John K is a great artist,but he sucks at writing humor now. I bought the Adult Party Cartoon of Ren & Stimpy and it just......sucked so bad.

[Lord13ubbles]

It's a movie.

[singing97queen]

he getz mad at dem for stupid reasons lol

[steal6196]

i think the cat is hungry

[Shikamaru77777777]

Is this the actual music video?

[yung11carter301]

wow lolz

[elizabeth17f]

this is so funny!!!! i think it shows how some people are so wored about having the PERFECT person. everyone's close but no cigar.

[tftws]

I can't believe I haven't seen this at some point in the last 2 years!

This video is great!

Fuck the bullshit!

"are we doing government work, here?"

[nikki6330]

LOL I like the part when the cat eats julie's face!

[rofllolwtfomg]

i think that video was weird the song was kind of funny but the vid was just weird. what kind of cat eats people?!?!!?!?!!!?!?!?!?!

[zeromaster212]

it's weird Al. You really expect him to have a normal music video?

[GeneralKrunch]

he ate all the girls. Weird cat...

[metalfreekblabla]

JOHN K FTW!!!!!

[accordionsfrommars]

After reading some of the comments on this video I have come to the conclusion that the majority of Youtubers are fucking idiots. Almost everyone that has commented this video doesn't understand John K's type of humor & animation style, or doesn't even know him at all. This song by Weird Al is wonderful, and the animation by John K and Katie Rice is outstanding and goes very well with it.

[GirlLetter]

I agree but this is only one vid, one subject, so chill.

[Dbluefang18]

care to explain?

[tami2lynn]

lol, funny song, vid NOT for kids though,wow! hahahaha. I love it

[Lostvoyag]

ClOSE BUT NO CIGAR

[GirlLetter]

kinda reminds me of Fritz the cat

[nahamston]

i must say i wouldnt drop a girl for having joe dirt on dvd but having low class like they showed hell ya

[Born0fH3llfire]

oh i didnt even know John K. directed this. no wonder it reminded me of ren and stimpy.

<3 john K.

[raygunspawn]

The animation is GREAT! Reminds me of ren and stimpy

[magnetikmonkeys]

this animation makes me beg for a quick death.

[SkaCaptain]

I love this song, but the video totally wrecked it for me. sorry.

[nahamston]

boo on you the video fucking rocks! go bro go haha your just jelous casue you will probily only work for disney as donald duck and no one will ever know not even your famly while my bro makes big bucks animating big name movies lol

[Bratac23]

nice, Ren and Stimpy animation

[crazynis2]

ya this dose sound like cake i love cake

[nahamston]

its not cake its original my bro worked on this video, so thats how i know

[EekZombies]

Sounds a little like Cake...

[theclockspider]

Did the Ren and Stimpy guy animate this? Really seems like it.

[MichaelDamoulianos]

yea john k animated it this

[nahamston]

yes jonh k did direct but different crew studio out of halifax nova scotia were the animation staff, yeah bro

[RDMYHRE]

what is this a parody of??????????

[thriftjam]

this is Al"s own song

[Nick1flute]

he doesn't only make parody's...

[Alxdu95]

I Guess John Kricfalusi is the same guy who realised Tenacious D's animated clips...

[pizzamyfart]

just bites her face off

[Walabio]

¡Settle for what you can get!

[techtigergymnast222]

is there a real version of this song?

[merrett]

Nah it's just a parody of songs by the band Cake.

[jonthecomposer]

Well, since everyone here is posting comments that basically have nothing to do with this song, I figured I'd hop on the band wagon....so here goes:

Weird Al should be copyright sued for making a video with that nameless cat because the cat is about as close to Silvester as Viva la Vida is to If I could Fly. (Yes, I am being sarcastic)

[obamanationkoolaid]

Not really. It's closer to a Tex Avery cat. Watch Avery's "King Size Canary" and "The Cat Who Hated People" and you'll see what I mean.

His name is Cigarettes the Cat, btw.

And I know you were being sarcastic, but I'm bored. :o)

[bigfloppydonkeydix]

actually both of u r wrong the animation that u see was ment to be a new cartoon show but it never got aired because it was to rude for the kids weird al asked the maker of the animation if he could use it for a song

[jonthecomposer]

Not wrong. Point was about the difference between two songs ; )

Frankly, I don't care about the cat cartoons.

[jonthecomposer]

It's cool. : )

I just hate how some musicians think that "close" IS the "cigar." If you could take all the songs from the 50s and 60s that had the EXACT SAME chord progression and start suing their authors because of it, we'd all be in trouble! And Viva la Vida doesn't even have the same progression as If I could Fly. Nor does it have the same melody. Listen closely and you'll tell a world of difference. Being sue-happy is NOT the way.

[dood654321]

what's with the screwed up small-animal-skewering cat?

[MichaelChin1994]

Damn, he has HIGH standards!!!

[caveman775]

what is song making fun of...please answer back...doing a report for summer school!!!

[durantmigo]

u have never heard the saying "Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades?"

He says like "are we playing horseshoes" and "are we lobbing hand grenades" then throws in the end "Are we doing government work." Yay for the bush administration

[Nite01007]

Seriously, durantmigo?

You think the saying "close enough for government work" started with the Bush administration?

Get over it already.

[superbadlucre]

Yes, 'Close enough for government work' is in the same cadre of sayings as those you mentioned. Also, 'Close enough for Rock N Roll'.

[DBOGJOHNSON]

indeed. but the songs cool

[wordsnwood]

Awesome song.  Hate the video. It's rude and vulgar.

[sykoman31]

yeah. who wants to see a cat grabbin a cartoon chicks butt? gross!

[Distorted1232]

fags

[xell0917]

tht cat likes big butts

[avuge77]

and he cannot lie!!! roflmao

[LoreleiMission]

John K ftw!

[medicwheat69]

same guy ....... his animation company did the video...

[crazy9001]

First one: easily correctly by correcting her a few times, Second one: I actually like Joe Dirt lol, just ignore it. Third one: can afford plastic surgery on ear if billionaire.

[beancurd2323]

0_o Lil' bit freaky

[sergiy182]

good song, weird vid...

allso that cat is shallow -.-"

[aliciaDmorgan]

he is especally on the second girl just because she owned joe dirt thats messed up lolz

[7ehMike]

lol that would = good for me, meant girl had a good sense of humor, lol XD

[Liquidacid83]

i've dumbed girls for less

[aliciaDmorgan]

...thats cold blooded......unless she was a bitch then its ok ^_^

[kennlegirl]

love it but creepy when the cat eats his galfriends

[JaxTH]

SPUMCO?

[newkid765]

[modemmack]

Sounds like a Cake song. Cake the band of course.

[greendayjunkiez]

[Vapureon]

[diegohvnl]

ooh ooh pick me;D

[hanzundfranz]

ren and stimpy, weird al, and booty, awesome

[singing97queen]

wow

[shawnmcghee1]

You can really tell it's the same guy who did Ren & Stimpy.

[ieatpoopforlunch]

It's a good video,but why must all these girls look like Brooklyn whores?

[ELITEayon62]

lol thumbs up for you:D

[bellaswan4real]

if yew love a person why wuld u judge them on the little things instead of like if they were cheating on yew..

[Lastbayking]

same reason I would judge you for using the word yew

[bellaswan4real]

oh w/e

[CliffyD159]

xD well I would agree with BayKing

[loveatfirstsight10]

That is the point! He is being ridiculous on purpose! It is part of the humor!

[niyyaz]

that wuz funny and weird, the only disturbing part wuz when he bit Julies face

[hulksapprentice]

that did freak me out when i first saw this...

[LindseyNoelleCullen]

this was almost as disturbing as the "happy tree friends" fall out boy video.

THAT was disturbing.

[kougger12]

take it from someone who's the same age as al--this is just his ironic take on guys for whom no woman is "good enough"--believe me, my husband & I know a few of 'em . . .

[Rachetmasta09]

lol

[Crazytrainrocker]

terrible video

this just disturbed me

[UrbanCrunkMovement]

Don't watch it then

[jithx]

sigar is you know. that brown thing you smoke ;) like a sigarette..

'close but no sigar' stands for that your close.. but not perfect, no prize for you.. get it ;)

[Liquidacid83]

cigar if your gonna call someone else stupid at least spell it right

[Loney03DK]

What's with all the ass? XD

I'm kinda grateful that Ren & Stimpy had the restrictions it did when it comes to rating if this is the weird shit we get. XD

But I'd say I'm with that comment a few pages back, I don't find it particularly offensive to women. =/

[mhfROCKZZ]

whats cigar?

[unsocked]

he's bragin about the girlfreind's he never had who he dumped. odd.

[bellaswan4real]

its offensive to girls because of how they look and such.

[UrbanCrunkMovement]

How is it offensive? Do you know what animation is? Research the history of animation at least a little bit before commenting.

[1k1ll3rp0ll0]

i dont like how those girls look.. it looks so pervert ugly and.. bah i didnt liked it but i liked the song

[1k1ll3rp0ll0]

that expalins why the animation looks so... perverted and ugly lol i hated that show well only the animation.

[MysticZefer]

lmao i wanan visit from the ghosts

[JamesBond0034]

may i finger ur mother?

[kaboemskii]

[mthep]
