Germs - "Weird Al" Yankovic

[Magic1999992]

WHAT!? XD Weird al makes this kind of music!?

[JOtruba]

completly dissregarding that this is suposed to be parody (even that itselve ads whole new level of awsome) this would be incredibly awsome song on its own:

funny lyrics (obviously what else to expect from wierd al,)

great rythm,

impressive performing,

obviously artist is putting his best into this performance (again i should have expected this from Wierd Al).

shame YT removed stars else this would be probably cleanest 5 starts i've ever given. thumbs up and wishing for some more rock by him.

[dariusiscool77]

2 People are covered with germs!

[SlasherMiniFilms]

It's like if Terrible Lie and Closer had a baby XD

[GashPlague]

@SlasherMiniFilms You forgot Carrot Top.

[PowerGlove79]

Gotta give Jim West on guitar props for his awesome job on this song getting the industrial sound just right

[homemoviescolorado]

Many of his parodies are better than the original songs

[itsstillgr8]

I love Weird Als voice.

[itsstillgr8]

I just aplouded alone in my room when it ended.

[itsstillgr8]

The best part is when he shakes.

[eggie947]

@thevoid99

It's called a parody not an offensive cover

[eggie947]

Epic AL!!!

[xshadow193]

Mr. Monk was here

[JamesGraysStudio]

I love germs, this is actually his best track i really like it haha

[momthra]

God help me but I'm turned on by him in this video. And when I saw him do this live. Haaahaaa

[Jcolinsol]

You misspelled NIИ.

[deltamode8]

heh, he even copied trent's outfit

[kentfarm17]

AWESOME! Great performance... so funny!

[th3evildead]

Awesomeness

Nine inch Nails - Terrible Lie parody

- for those whom know not.

[DaveyJonesLocka]

@th3evildead Not really a parody of that one song, but more of a style parody of Reznor in general.

[equarg]

Thumbs up if you took a show after watching this! (with bleach)

[IMcharger]

@dennis7ification it's a parody of Nine Inch Nails' style, specifically Trent Reznor's style.

[Dennis7ification]

does anyone know if this song is a parody of something else? That's what he usually does.

[kilar277]

@Dennis7ification Specifically Closer, Terrible Lie, and Mr. Self Destruct. All by Nine Inch Nails.

[Dennis7ification]

@kilar277 thnx 4 that! i can't find the Karaoke versions of thse songs, though, or this song 4 that matter.

I madea parody of thi sog, u c, and i need 2 find the Karaoke version!

[softie4cats]

@Dennis7ification "Terrible Lie" (general melody), "Mr. Self Destruct" (in the pre-chorus) and "Closer" (drum beat)

[thrasher492]

Terrible Lie!

[Shadowsofheartagram]

He really does a great Reznor impression.

[Gargoreis]

Hey GERMS, why are you doing this to me?

[Streetpartymarty]

excellent

[bamtwo]

I don't know why people still ask why he changed his look. I love the long hair :)

[TheFaithArtist]

And I love Al's impression of Trent's strained falsetto at 1:54

[TheFaithArtist]

Now I'm confused. I don't know whether to go and watch some more Weird Al, or some NIN.

[annaroseRN]

Not my favourite parody, but by god he does a good Reznor impression.

[ChildIncomplete]

@annaroseRN they should tour together! lol

[thevoid99]

this is way more industrial and rocking than anything that linkin park will ever do. they hella-suck as they're nothing but a 5th-rate version of NIN.

[RyokoLeigh]

You are my favorite person for uploading this.

[velcrodogowner]

I can see Trent Reznor laughing his ASS OFF at this !!!!

[DudeRaider5000]

LOL i didnt even know weird al existed when i first heard this song...

[isetmfriendsofire]

0 dislikes? Youtube miracle.

[Charlytrippo]

@isetmfriendsofire You jinxed it!!!! It`s got 1 dislike now. YOUR FAULT!!!!

[nido212]

Ah, Steve's creepy-ass bass voice...

[DrRobotu]

Just watched a 100 video Youtueb Mix of Weird Al.

**** yeah

[GeoWing2]

why is no one dancing in there. I would be rocking out.

[Kahltira]

"I'm Afraid of Americans" is not a NIN/ Trent Reznor song, there is a version mixed by/duet with him, but it is by David Bowie, off of the Album "Earthling" But "Germs" is brilliant, and very much pays homage to Trents style very well. I have always loved Weird Al, he's an evil genius.

[KedViper]

@Kahltira Yeah, but it sounds like a Terrible Lie and Closer.

[vitaemecha]

anyone else notice the germs are trents sycophants?

[0ING0B0ING0]

Trent Reznor should cover this!

[cheesemaker3000]

closer/terrible lie/im afraid of americans/mr.self destruct :P

[myboomstick]

love the reznor get-up weird al :p

[ThatGamer360]

For anyone who cares: This song is a style parody of Closer, Mr. Self-Destruct and "Terrible Lie" by Nine Inch Nails. The only Al song to parody two bands AND a song. Or maybe they're all the same.

[toanuju444]

@ThatGamer360 Wikipedia says that this song is "Original, in the style of Nine Inch Nails.[1] Sounds like a mix of "Terrible Lie" and "Closer", both by Nine Inch Nails.", which even i didn't know. But w.e

[TetrisLock]

@ThatGamer360 Holy crap that sounds about right.

[brunodestructo]

Thumbs up if you'd buy a Weird Al Goes Industrial album.

[FinalConflict99]

Trent Reznor was thinking....WTF!?

[FinalConflict99]

it is NIN! lol

[RocStarr913]

@movieonyoureyelids It's a "style parody" of Nine Inch Nails's music.

[palinite]

seeing as no-one really wants to admit it here- Weird Al is honestly sex on legs. I don't know wot it is about him, but you all know that its there and this is the truth. Now back to reality.

[jimmyface71]

Ah, the official anthem of Howard Hughes...

[thevoid99]

as a hardcore NIN fan. this is actually the best NIN imitation ever. hell, weird al is more hardcore and industrial than linkin park aspires to be. bunch of whiny candyasses.

[NeoZource]

@thevoid99 I'm a NIN fan because of Linkin Park playing Wish. Listen to Blackout. i bet you'll love it.

[thevoid99]

@NeoZource that cover of "wish" was for me, one of the most offensive covers I have ever heard. as for blackout, not interested.

[jadeanmerirade]

first its called a parody

second its not offensive

third most people are honored to be parodied by weird al

fourth if you dont like it why are you watching it

and fith and most importanly weird al gets permission from the people who made the origanal song they let him make this parodie! so get your facts right!!!

[quackman]

I love his EXTREME head bobbing!

[candyscar]

ahaha damn this is good! :)

he actually looks like that guy from 'Prick'

[EvilUncleFrank]

It's not a "copy" or "parody" of any song. It's a general pastiche of the style of NIN.

[MrThrasha666]

hah...just funny cause people would have called him gay and nerdy in the 90's till 99 when he changed his look...hes a genius!

[JohnnyFreakadelic]

nothing original on this, kids

[chaksq]

@JohnnyFreakadelic it's a parody, that's the point.

[proadmin1]

@JohnnyFreakadelic That's rather the point, pretty funny stuff

[deltamode8]

@JohnnyFreakadelic that's why it's called a parody, ya fuckwit

[JohnnyFreakadelic]

copy of closer, this is a SHIT

[Deathmaker2354]

@JohnnyFreakadelic Copy of Terrible Lie

[TheNineinchsnails]

this shows how amazing he is...he can also take trents mannerism...

[deleriummercy]

not at all, he is the sexiest man alive!!! (besides my husband of course...hehe *gulp)

[annabananacanada111]

sexy

[Jcolinsol]

Lul, he's even doing the signature Reznor hunch.

[starstruckstarfuck]

great NIN style parody

drum beat from closer, verse guitar same style as terrible lie, and pre chorus guitar like mr selfdestruct

[spunkyandy66]

Great video! Al can work the stage like none other.

[13sirius13snape]

I love that shirt he wears! Is it creepy that I find Weird Al very attractive?

[MusicOfTheSystem]

@13sirius13snape

lmao! i felt the same way too, and i don't think it's creepy. :)

[pollyyyy91]

@13sirius13snape it may be creepy, but i totally agree with you. he's really really sexy.... i dont even know what i would to do him

[13sirius13snape]

@pollyyyy91 Well atleast I know I'm amongst friends.

[skrapyard444]

@13sirius13snape i want to say yes it is...but he and i have the same type of hair

[wudda099]

@13sirius13snape not creepy at all he's pretty nice looking...

[Liz489]

@13sirius13snape No

[SkellingtonSkullz]

@13sirius13snape Not in the slightest *hugs*

[hiroichi87]

@13sirius13snape yes

[13sirius13snape]

@hiroichi87 lol I think you're the first "yes" I have gotten

[13sirius13snape]

@litatanbonita Point? He wasn't at the time. And there are several attractive men that are well into there 50's or even older.

[sanjouindacapo]

@litatanbonita He don't look 52 - I've seen some recent photos of him and he looks dead sexy still.

[sanhima1]

@13sirius13snape Not at all. I had a roommate who was in love with him. She cried when he got married. Poor girl.

[rach1and1tiff]

see, this is what being an only child with very protective parents do...

[MusicOfTheSystem]

I was looking for this 4ever! Thanx!
