"Weird Al" Yankovic - The Check's In The Mail

[DeltaAlphaNuStudio]

So we have the king of pop, Micheal Jackson, The King of Rock and roll, Elvis Presley, and the King of Parody is Weird Al!

Easily offended people fuel my rage.

i love this song i got a tape too [1983]

[Genkai]

I love this song and have been looking for it for a while since I lost my CDs.

[lijluvr356]

this is the PERFECT song for Hades from Hercules by Disney. Seriously.

@lijluvr356 Please don't refer to mythologic figures as "from Disney"

[lijluvr356]

@anythingyoulikedear I'm referring to Disney's INTERPRETATION of a mythologic figure, not the original mythologic figure. YES, I know where the mythologic figure is from, who he was, what he did, etc. Now, based on what I know of said mythological figure, I'm not sure this is the best song to describe him, and I'm sure you wouldn't have thought that was what I meant if you'd thought about it a little more, really. It DOES, however, fit the character as interpreted by Disney. Is that better?

@anythingyoulikedear pt. 2

Nevertheless, I'm sorry to have offended you by referring to Disney and ...certain mythological figures... in the same sentence: you seem not to think the terms belong together. A valid point: Disney does tend to change plots and personalities, arguably beyond recognition. I often complain about Disney's depiction of Hercules, who was a pretty criminal type. (The gods, too: rape, murder, violence... I really could go on.)

Kid story? No!

Glorified? Yes!

@lijluvr356 I love YouTube's comment format, because crazy shit like this that's completely unrelated to the video always makes it to the top of the comments, and you can never see the discussion that led up to it unless you go digging.

[bgiv2010]

@lijluvr356 HAHA I read it. I got it the first time. and I agree. I wonder what that user's problem was...

[MrThrasha666]

[JessicaxxAduhh]

thanks guys had this on vinyl got loss somewhere in the years...a classic

[jazmin010]

The Musicians on this record are all amazing like all the music you hear was recorded by AL and his band for these albums and not sampled like most music today.

Just worth noting that as well

[lonelygiant5000]

The only good thing about michael jackson was he gave Weird Al lots of Ammunition. HAHA!
