Evolution of the Yoda Chant 1994-2007

[deathpar]

i was there about 5 days ago.. its about 5 min long now.. and i love it

[kylegilkey1994]

I love this one. I just when to his concert a few hours ago, and he did that. It was great.

[touch37]

Everybody!

Sad thing is, I totally was singing that part along with them on Saturday xD

[jtlats]

I was there! Section D, Row B! FRONT ROW BABY!! It was hilarious! And a GREAT Concert!

[NMAfreak]

seeing this about 2 nights ago, its nearly 3 minutes long now, still evolving! :-)

[MNpyroMN]

@NMAfreak Oh i know! Practically as long as the actual song haha. I wish youtube would allow me to tack on the new part to the end of this video.

[deeblite]

@MNpyroMN I just got back from seeing him perform a few minutes ago =) The chant is now well over 3 minutes, and i believe it may be LONGER than the actual song now.

[MNpyroMN]

@deeblite I was at Glendside too! Great show and crowd!

[tigerjemm]

look for weird al yoda live (max_g_force_2008) that has the best chant

[mertdejedi]

last is always the best

[Phantomsbreath]

Yknow, this reminds me sorta of certain Indonesian musical notations

[wayamy27narf]

If this keeps up, eventually half of his concert will be spent doing the Yoda chant. Maybe he'll just put in another entire hour for it.

[betlamed]

Well, I know worse ways to spend a night! (And better ones, but I won't go into that here.)

[raCteJ]

5:05 "PORK!" XD

[Imakemoviesthatrule]

Isn't that ironic since he's Jewish?

[FinalFreek]

@Imakemoviesthatrule i had a feeling he was jewish which his song of "pretty fly for a rabbi" and how his last name is Yankovic.

[MalarkyDude145]

@Imakemoviesthatrule He's not, he's a member of the Chhurch of Christ. Google Famous Members of the Church of Christ and you'll see. :)

[ralius18]

all different

[rhcp1lovethemgreat]

a bit weird...

[SyntheticJewel]

I didn't know about this when I went to his concert and it blew me away! He's an amazing guy!

[Homsarlover13]

I want to memorize this but its really hard to get all of the sylables right

[ff72692]

that is one of the best parts of his whole concert! THE WHOLE CONCERT ITSELF IS AMAZING! =D

[Homsarlover13]

Where is that place at, at 5:47? I think that I went there

[neulatyyny94]

I think Melbourne, Australia. At least so the video says.

[Homsarlover13]

sorry I was looking at something else so i didnt see it comeup

[lot24]

Wow, I saw him in 2000. Makes me wish I could've seen the epic ones or where he makes everyone join in

[Homsarlover13]

wait does he say pork?

[supremetaco]

Yup.

[wayamy27narf]

I've been watching videos ALL day, and this was the best thing I've seen EVER!!

[99bottlesrootbeer]

this reminds me a LOT of konakkol (drumming language)

[redspade200]

wierd al rules!

[Pinesal]

The Chant featured on the Disney Special "There's No Going Home" (I think that's the title). Is different than all of those.

[Weirdalover]

Hawaiian chant alway

[ImFluffy13]

Everytime I do the "Yoda Chant", All of my friends get really annoyed!

[jaredch]

[WeirdAlCrazy56]

Haha, wow, look at Jim go! In some vids, it looks like he's more into it than Al! GO JIM!!

[ImFluffy13]

[iZacLess]

Good video!

How good is he live?!?!

We're you there? if so, do you remember the 2 hour wait at the start!

Thanks

[funkydaffy]

Great vid love the song and the chant

[WeirdAlaholic1100]

yoda chant rules

[horsecowgirl]

i loveeeee the yoda chanttt great jobbbb i love you alll

[dpettek]

I love Al so much, but I HATE the Yoda chant!!! Al... why??

[nicholaswright2006]

BECAUSE YOU DON'T REALLY LOVE WEIRD AL

let me put it a different way:

Weird Al specializes in the random, seen especially in his polkas with the random crazy sound effects.

This is kinda like that. It also sounds cool.

So if you don't like random as a humor, you don't like weird al. =[ lol

[dpettek]

Gee, Nicholas, thanks for explaining that to me. Suddenly the CDs and tapes I've been collecting since the 80s, the box set, the Alapalooza tee shirt, the polkas I've memorized, my MySpace wallpaper, and all those concert stubs make a lot less sense. Clearly I don't like Weird Al.

[nicholaswright2006]

you're welcome, dpettek. =D

[dpettek]

Real love means accepting the good with the bad. For me, the bad is the Yoda chant. It's okay if you like it. It's okay if I don't. I doubt if Al cares about either of our opinions. Here's another opinion for you--you're a spaz. :P

[nicholaswright2006]

hey now, don't call me a spaz. either way, different opinions are fine. I like the yoda chant, but it's totally OK if you don't like it. =)

[mickeynotmouse]

Weird al does NOT specialize in the "random"

He specializes in clever, smart humor.

[xtinafreak13]

mmm. i lvoe the yoda chant <3

[gisapan]

I saw him last monday in NJ, this dance in a show it's like magic... He is amazing!!!

[stephaniecrazykid]

he looks so creepy in the 96 one, he doesn't even blink

[Fireboltflyer28]

Can anyone give a the entire lyrics of the most recent chant? All the ones that I have found do not include the middle part. They go from

Mmmmmmmmmm... doggie!

(Turn neck to left, make cracking sound)

to

Heh... heh... heh...

La la la, nice lady!

I am getting most of it, but if anyone knows the missing lyrics, it would be greatly appreciated.

Awesome video!!

[Fireboltflyer28]

Sorry, I didn't meant to post the question when someone already answered it.

But you really did make a cool movie!

[Maestrojosh87]

That part you're thinking about was written by Steve Jay as part of a song called "Big Shoes", and was released on a solo album he did 10 years earlier called Sea Never Dry.

[Maestrojosh87]

By that I mean the really low part in the 2007 version where the lights go dark all of a sudden and the voices get deep.

[DanishCartoonist]

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!!!

[starbrightshadows]

Awesome that you put this video together. Thanks so much! Oh. And, umm... I got to sing this chant along with Al last night in Kettering OH. I was in the audience, obviously, but I was there, and I know the whole chant.

[MNpyroMN]

Nice! It's allways fun to do that at concerts, especially when your one of the people that knows the chant so other people look at you in amazement, like how the hell does this guy know this?!

[MNpyroMN]

Your dad did a great job with that! Thanks again... I was actually the second person that got a copy of that recording and I was amazed when i first saw it :D I still am lol Hopefully more recordings of that quality will show up sometime soon

[darkviewoflife13]

[guillereturns27]

La mejor es la del 2007! Acabo de verlo en vivo, y funciona a muchos niveles XD

[The27Master]

hey do you know what's the name of that thing added on 2007?

man, didn't know it was that short at the begginings, the current chant ROCKS!!!!!!

[Mullenfreek]

idk if its what your talking about, but I believe its called The Hawaiian War Chant and i know the words to it lol.

[The27Master]

no, I meant the one at 6:01

the Hawaiian War Chant was added on 2003, I already knew that

[ren182]

I always wondered what it yoused to sound like or when it started, the yoda chant is sooooooooo awesome! LOL!
