Weird Al - "Addicted To Spuds"

[luvs2spoonge]

my girlfriend texted me that i was addicted to spuds.

[Wharfratt5]

Done back in the days when MTV had 'quality ' programming!! lol

[sornan005]

Pretty well done live performance. Have to give it up to Al, he doesent just do great paradoy videos and songs, he can actually really do it right on stage too.

[sonic10158]

Lady Gaga coming out of an egg at that awards show: odd

Weird Al's band performing in Mr. Potato costumes: EPIC!!

[MerchManDan]

Holy smokes, I DO dream of bacon bits & sour cream!! :-O

[420Rockerman69]

i think the 4 ppl who dislike this song were in the potato suits XD

[dude13zo]

GA! LOOK AT HIS HAIR! HOLY CRAP LOL!

[Rangermanlv]

Weird Al has been and continues to be the best thing to happen to modern rock music since the Beatles. Noone has done more to keep peoples musical egos grounded in reality than Weird Al.

[MrDwind2003]

I wish Weird Al made this song as a single back then

[thr1llk1lljake]

not Joe Piscipo!

[lbomb8]

imagine being there on shrooms and these big fuckin potato heads are playing instruments?!?!

[phukoff99]

awefull recording quality...

[whenmonkeysattack16]

aw crap...I wanna bowl of mashed potatos now >:(

[supernova2233]

Aweosme! Didnt expect them to be Mr. and Mrs. Potato heads lol

[dejavuman22]

I admit it's the first time I've ever seen potatoes in heels.

[that1weirdkid27]

The poor quality makes me sad, but this video makes me VERY HAPPY.

[iEddiez94]

genius

[TheGreatSimaChops]

wierd al rocked the fucking casba when i seen em at orange county fair few years back.

he swaps between his outfits so fucking quick he threw on the fat suit in like 5 min

i was seriously fucking amazed best concert i ever seen :D

[MadCheesecake]

wow poor sound quality but funny costumes

[Abracamoron]

Haha, Parody of the original music video

[gacklecrackle]

well, thats what it says whenever i look up the lyrics anywhere

[doowoppingchainsawer]

sounds like "muffins seen 'em whipped" But "I've often seen 'em whipped but they just can't be beat" doens't make sense either. WHipped potatoes, sure, but can't be beat. I dunno.

[blueskunk12]

Whipped potatoes, sure. But you can't beat them. They're the best.

Makes perfect sense.

[weirdalfan1980]

I just had 2beers, but is it me or those spuds are hotter then those ladies on Robert Palmers videos?

[doowoppingchainsawer]

what movie is that at the end and what is the line? "....whipped but they can't be beat" Muffins seen 'em whipped"? That can't be it.

[gacklecrackle]

don't know about the movie, but the line is i've often seen them whipped.

[benthemaltese27]

lol! hes doing exactly what they do in the origanal video. stand there and do nothing. lol i luv this!

[th3planetsghost]

haha my mom had his hair style around that same time haha

[Monica1C3]

I'm a little disappointed. I thought Al would have more stage shennanigans. Usually, he'll do more theaterical things than just stand there, and the potatoes would do more than stay in one place for such a production. I remember watching him on a late night award show performing Smells Like Nirvana for the first time. He's still amusing, of course. :-D

[jalamahuri]

Actually it's a pretty good paradoy performance of the video for the song he's doing a parady of.

[leapoffaith20]

The origonal vid featured women in the background performing robotic dance moves with the singer in the for ground doing not a lot.

[breaks0]

Robert Palmer's? All his videos are like that (not counting the power station works, which are altogether different). Palmer's still a legend though.

[tigerjemm]

confusing sentence and parody is spelled different each time, but i agree

[pachoycamico]

the guy at the start creeps me out

[hihi3369]

hes so funny espesaly in eat it

[sirbigmackman]

spuds are awesome

[sweet666la]

i agree

[mattomoros]

And two years later he did it again in UHF

[HenryRiddle17]

nice puns

[conradragzoff]

Holy crap, was that Joe Piscopo? Whatever happened to him???

[1manwalkingfreakshow]

Opened for the Monkees? Ha. Mo' like the Monkees closed for HIM. ;-P

Awesome vid and performance all the same. Wish I coulda seen it live then. :-)-:

[carlitodaw]

wacky,,,,,,,

[algonacchick]

hehe, nice to see this up on youtube. I have a video tape with a bunch of tv appearances on it, and this is one of them. He does look awfully cute here.

[ekkostar]

Weird Al does an awesome job of mimicking Robert's mannerisms in the music video.

[lexmarks567]

theres no way they can by playing with those suites on

[JMullown]

man they must be baking in those potato's

[ImitableChaor]

@JMullown mhhh baked potato's: Right back into the kitchen

[heeriyujaxhunin]

Oh my god!! lmao!! you've got to be kidding me

[toin9898]

TOO funny!

[COL321]

That put a big smile on my face. Thanks for posting it!

[fobrlz007]

LOVE the potato costumes!

[beachgirl7984]

this video rocks and is so funny

[EyeOfTheTiger80]

Wow, Al looks amazing in this video! I miss the days when he had his glasses....so adorable. ^^

[BadgecoonProductions]

not to mention that darling little moustache...

[oenthusiast]

"I woner if his band is actually in the potato costumes? "

Well, it wouldn't be the silliest thing his band has been asked to do, but those potatoes seem to have very... ladylike... legs. And they don't play their instruments very well either. I think they're just costumed dancers. But Al sure is is cute here.

[EvilUncleFrank]

The potatoes aren't even playing the instruments at all. Al's band is probably playing offstage.

[ReallyGoodJoe]

No, I think it is a music-only version of the album recording and he's singing with it.

[GunnsandGod]

I woner if his band is actually in the potato costumes?

[deputyindigo]

The best part is that he got Robert Palmer's permission to do the song AT ALL, let alone to record it or perform it. That's the kind of professional courtesy I'd like to see happen more often in the music biz.

[talk67]

ya deputyindigo... even on his site he says that he doesnt have to get permision and if he got sued the law is on his side but he does anyway and there were atleast like 10 or 15 songs he couldnt do cuz he didnt get permision.. like peeps like the artist formerly knownn as prince and paul mccartney and stuff

[brandonmc09]

@deputyindigo pretty sure you dont need permission to parody something

[beachgirl7984]

i also love the song omish paradise

[WeirdAlCrazy56]

HAHAHAH!

[MystroTheDefender]

omg its funny!
