@LostHighwayFilms you do kniow that Em was a big Al fan growing up right? On top of that Al always ALWAYS asks the artist for permission to do a parody. He doesn't have to but he does it anyway ( words straight from al him self ). While killing would be over doing it just know Em said he could. That goes for any song he puts out.
I wish Em let him do a video. Believe me, I used to be obsessed with Eminem but Al is funny as hell and has been out longer than alot of stars out now; bother rappers and vocal artist.
@fabioamr95 "Weird Al" Yankovic is neither a hater nor a noob. He got permission from Eminem to do this song. This parody was done all in fun and in no way attacking Eminem, and he's been writing songs for more than thirty years. "Weird Al" Yankovic is known for his song parodies, but about half of his songs are originals. Also, Al has a great deal of respect for Eminem.
Weird Al Yankovic did a parody of this called "Couch Potato" on his album Poodle Hat, his first album in 4 years. Eminem let him do the song, but wouldn't let Weird Al make a video for it or release it as a single because he was worried about his image. Al thought this was odd considering how much Eminem makes fun of people in his videos. The parody makes fun of people who watch too much TV.
Comparing AL to Em is dumb. Em is a rapper who has someone mix his beats. AL is a musician who writes, composes, plays instruments, raps, sings and can mimic and incredibly broad range of music. He is clever and creative and can do it without having to swear....
@misterkidly I don't think so... a lot of musicians say "The made it big" when Al parody one of the songs they did.. and Em had to give his permission for Al to do so..he approved it. Al will not do a song unless it's ok
with the people who wrote it. He's just having some fun. It's not like he is making fun of him right in the song. Right? it's about watching too much TV.. something we all do! :)
typing "couch potatoe" into Youtube to see this video again, just one more time, honestly!, I had to fight the need to add an 'e' at the end of potatoe, just like Dan Quayle did that time
I would think that Weird Al could be one hell of a freestyle battle rapper. He has the intelligence, vocabulary and quick wit....he would probably embarrass a lot of these battle rappers. Weird Al should get on BET's 106 & Park Freestyle Friday. Can you imagine the insanity of that, when he starts winning and demolishing those rappers? LOL.
emeinem accually gave wired al permission to make this parody,... wierd al accually asks permisson to make parodys. although emeinem didnt say he could make a music video.. only the song.
although i LOVE weird al eminems song IS better.. nothing like the original. but come on.. this is funny
@dentros Weird Al could release all of his songs without asking, and they would be protected by copyright law. But he respects all the artists, so he doesn't release parodies without the original artist's permission. But I'm not sure what Eminem really thinks, because he wouldn't let Weird Al release a music video for Couch Potato. (Do you guys realize that I still have 101 characters remaining?)
This may not be as good as his last parody's, but look what he has to work with. This should be fun...not something to get upset about . Wierd Al has been around a long time.
i know all them em is better than al crap eminem is probely laughing at this cause it is funny its not dissing eminems amazing songs its just a funny alternative
shit fucking i dont care if you spam me put the thumbs down this is eminem shit eminem is way better i used to listle to weird al i even went to his consert dude not cool song
next on fox watch lions eat cristians lmfao weird al is all genres of music eminem is just rap so of corse hes gonna be better but he pisses me off cuz its always bout his life expereinces n the music is always sad sad lyrics depressin beat but still good music
I love AL too. I got to hang out with him on his tour bus for a whole hour last week! My friend used to work for him. He was tired after the concert but was cordial and just so, just so . . . real! He hammed it up for the pics though!
My favorite one yet!
