Weird Al Yankovic - CNR (Alpocalypse)

[tubulargoods69]

wheres radio play when you need it!!!!!!!:-\

[mac5279]

CNR= Chuck Norris' Relative

[SimuLord]

Is it my imagination or is there an extra verse that got added into this version from the original "Internet Leaks" version of this song?

[lilkujo]

In case anyone wants to know what song its a parody of its Denial Twist by White Stripes

[2415caley]

@lilkujo thanks

[MasterAndreRaven]

I like the part when he's talking about CNR.

...I mean, VENUSAUR!

[JodiLynn40]

5 people got cnr'd

[DarthBarkerSithLord]

So Al is Famine.

[Dryst5]

this reminds me of ironman by black sabath. is it supposed to be?

[ManiacalArtist]

@Dryst5

Probably because of the pitch change. It's a style parody of the White Stripes

[alienjoe123]

5 people got pushed down the stairs by CNR

[PiFuenftel]

that is an awesome tribute song!

[Stark36]

This song is the BEST piece of work ever.



[rey2150]

what is this a parody of

[LeThereBeatles4ever]

@rey2150 The White Stripes

[comeback16567]

Who is cnr

[fsffsa5325324]

@comeback16567 Charles Nelson Riley. The most bad-ass homosexual man to ever walk on the face of the Earth.

[iamobeliskquake]

@fsffsa5325324 besides Freddie Mercury

[fsffsa5325324]

@iamobeliskquake and besides Dumbledore.

[iamobeliskquake]

@fsffsa5325324 and Elton John

[fsffsa5325324]

@iamobeliskquake Fuck yeah. And he's still alive too.

[CODMODDERZ360]

Wierd Al Yankovic for President!!!

[EasyExpertVillage]

I bought the DVD. does that count.

[SleepyDrummer]

4 people pissed off CNR :)

[cinnaminstix5]

4 people messed with cnr

[Jaywolb]

@cinnaminstix5 millions messed with cnr, but only 4 were lucky enough to live

[crazylegoproductions]

Figured out cold fusion but he never told a sole*boom* XD

[P1gdude]

new verse = epic win!!!!!!!!!

[Darthdesmondd]

Why did he add more?

[thedarkonespeaks]

i went to his concert at the lewis county fair it was awsom my first concert and i dont regret it either

[8BitMonk3y]

Why is the pitch lowered? It ruins the song.

[Kenpokid4]

@8BitMonk3y

To avoid copyright.

[8BitMonk3y]

@Kenpokid4 Couldn't you have lowered it just a little less? Either way, you're basically advertising the album without even being told to and you even said who it belongs to. If I were Al's record company, I would appreciate what you're doing.

[Kenpokid4]

@8BitMonk3y

The way they look at it, it's putting up the music so people don't buy it, but rather listen to it on the internet.

Basic buisness logic.

[eliwood146]

@Kenpokid4 ok but how about we argue that vevo plays it unaltered? even if he didnt change the pitch what would it matter cuz vevo is just doing exactly what he is...just vevo is getting paid for it

[Kenpokid4]

@eliwood146

VEVO is the channel that pays YouTube (and Al, assumedly) to put the official music videos up.

[mrbattlenet]

@Kenpokid4 Thats kinda wierd cause some of those videos i think were fan made

[ElegantWaster]

It has a lot of elements from The Denial Twist

[zajebimevise]

@ElegantWaster it's something between icky thump and dead leaves and the dirty ground

[joyniti]

theres a typo here, the title of this song is Chuck Norris

[JoeRingo118]

@joyniti ....... charles nelson reilly... in the video you clearly see chuck norris head on the wall.

[xRosaliax]

@joyniti You bring that Golden Calf BS into this house of Reilly one more time and I swear I will discipline you.

[odinthegodofwar]

CNR's laserbeam seems to have melted 2 peoples brains so far

[RawrMasterL]

2 people were threw down a flight of stairs and didnt love him anyway

[Randomdudeman54]

2 people have never made sweet, sweet love to a manatee

[gettheledouthomes]

my fav. i love the white stripes haha

[genobahamut1337]

Good song, but CNR will never hold a candle to Chuck Norris. CNR fell off a building and barely stubbed his toe, but Chuck Norris would never stub his toe. In fact, Chuck Norris wouldn't have fallen off the building. Chuck Norris doesn't fall off of buildings, he body-slams the planet.

[Twizts]

@genobahamut1337 I'm sorry but Chuck Norris is obsolete.. Jason Statham is the new bad ass in town.. and has been for sometime ;)

[genobahamut1337]

@Twizts Sorry, but, who?

[guanxingpingyu]

LOVE wierd al. But so far...nothing i like off this album...no DIS AL! I LOVE YOU!

[roflcopterprods]

The 1 dislike was Charles Nelson Riley. He thought the song did not sufficiently capture his bad-assery

[zwfan1983]

1 person didn't get to make sweet sweet love to a manatee!

[jrspike100]

y'know it's pretty easy to mimic white stripes. All you need is: power chords, a bass drum, and a cymbal.

[chickenemoman]

1 person got run over by Wierd Al's horse.

[djiscool221]

@chickenemoman 3 now :)

[trnatu48]

@chickenemoman you spellt weird rong

[chickenemoman]

@trnatu48 you spelt rong wrong

[trnatu48]

@chickenemoman that is the joke

[EasyExpertVillage]

@chickenemoman no. 4 people got ran over by all 4 of the horses. the 1 guy you're talking about was ran over by the red horse.

[chickenemoman]

@EasyExpertVillage OMFG

[EvilEmilsEmail]

1 dislikes? work on your grammar youtube :)

[Megadeth324657]

vvvvvvvv Ickey Thump- white stripes? vvvvvvv

[pgrmoja]

whats the original name of the song

[OrthodoxGod]

@pgrmoja there isnt. Weird Al just did the style of White Stripes. Did it pretty good right? XD

[pgrmoja]

@OrthodoxGod y lol

[387Dima]

@pgrmoja its not a song cover its a cover of the white stripes style

[HarryIsTheGamingGeek]

Al is such a boss!

[CrookedSmirk]

He's not parodying a specific song here, he's parodying the style of White Stripes.

[donnemoiunnom]

So funny how people are trying to guess the style but are putting random songs from bands.

[VictorVonFox]

kind of has the rift from iron man by black sabbath

[freaaa1]

anothe theme - CNR is ... "the most interesting man in the world"

[Lifted4ever]

In the style of White Stripes, more importantly you all realize this song is about Chuck Norris, right?

[Happydanser]

@Lifted4ever Charles Nelson Reilly (not really the right name) not Chuck Norris he is on his wall in the animated version that is on YT..

the animated one is cut though a few lines missing.

[stunningpancake]

Theme comes from White Stripes, but the lyrics come from "You Don't Mess With Jim," by John Turner.

[QBuck1]

@stunningpancake You Don't Mess Around with Jim was sang by Jim Croce and only the spit in the wind line comes from the song.

[jlp0719]

@stunningpancake actually turner wasnt the first to do the song it was round a LONG time b4 him

[Exerius]

@stunningpancake Don't mess around with jim was fromYou Don't Mess Around With Jim

by Jim Croce circa 1972 and topped the charts at number 8 that year

[AK86XXX]

my favorite so far!

[rocketloopz]

It is Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground, but not the exact song. But the same style

[soccerdork100]

sounds like lue orchered by white stripes



[okaminodoku]

@soccerdork100 sounds more like icky thumb

[Ozzmaster2112]

Kinda Black Sabbath style, or Rush. idk.

[klickj26]

sounds kinda like dead leaves on the dirty ground by white stripes.....

[klickj26]

sounds kinda like dead leaves on the dirty ground by white stripes....

[redsoxfan131313]

@klickj26 i believe this is supposed to be a parody of the white stripes in general, with ringtone being a parody of queen

[MediciMedic]

Reminds me of icky Thump.

[TripleFinC]

bad ass song

[UberGwonam]

1:57 That's new

[luvpinata]

@UberGwonam if you bought the song before the album (like me) then its not.

[tasteyrottingchrist]

@UberGwonam Total white stripes style...

[TheGekkjevel]

Id say this is the best song on the album

[13dprime]

what is this a parody of

[ChristianMusician85]

@13dprime It's not a parody. It's an original in the style of The White Stripes. Half the songs on all of his albums are originals.

[MrSparky3976]

I bet you CNR killed Bin Ladin!

[Stormrider019]

@MrSparky3976 maybe if he hadn't already been dead for several years.

[PorygonthePokemon]

am i the only one noticing these slight pitch changes?

[d4m4s74]

this is the only internet leaks song he obviously redid. (the others have either been simply reused, or rerecorded the exact same way)

[MediciMedic]

CNR- California National Republic - New Vegas Division

[ChristianMusician85]

@ArbocDraw Actually, it's Charles Nelson Reilly.

[Intorqueo629]

@ChristianMusician85 It's not really a parody of him, just a joke about him. Kind of in the vein of Chuck Norris jokes.

[ChristianMusician85]

@Intorqueo629 ...I didn't say this was a parody of Charles Nelson Reilly.

[ArbocDraw]

@ChristianMusician85 - LOL! My spell check changed it to "Nathan" for some weird reason! Thanks for catching that!
