The ending is confusing unless you've seen the Thriller video - the ending there has MJ turning with a wide smile, with creepy yellow eyes. It's a different song and music video altogether; dunno why Al decided to put it in the parody of Beat It
K ya im wasnt confuzed WELL DUUH!! ive seen thriller but like it was questionable cuuuz the parody was beat it and then randomly put the thriiller ending lol
The reason why the guy with guitar explodes is because, it is said when Eddie VanHalen was recording in front of Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones for "Beat It" he played the famous guitar solo and the amps they had caught fire.
Just thought I'd share that with everyone, seeing the comments regarding that.
MJ didn't mind you know, he had weird al in his vid liberian girl and that was after this song and fat was released so he was clearly ok with it. plus that's weird al's style, parodies, it's not specifically mocking mj he has done parodies of loads of other people before and since.
SPIT PHHHHH/HAPPY FACE COAT/HEAD/LYRICS/DOOR/WALK WHEN HE WAS GOING INSIDE THE COUNTER/POSES/EATING/WALKING/UTENSIL FIGHT/GUITARIST/MOUTH/ GUITARIST EXPLOSION/=LOL FUNNIEST VID EVARRRR!!scary endin
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
weird al owes alot to mj. if he didn't let weird al parody this song, al wouldn't be the legend he is today. and then michael let him uses the same set for fat, he liked al. al did a very nice article about mj in the rolling stone
Weird Al probably still would be popular, but MJ did help him a lot by letting him do those two songs since they did get really popular. But I think he still would be doing really good even without those two songs.
Yeah. Weird Al is in MJ's Liberian Girl video. MJ let Weird Al borrow the studio he used for Bad, and Al did his song Fat. Weird Al kicks some major booty.
Sorry, I wish I had been on earlier to send this reply at the right time. There are Thriller references all over this video. Look at 1:05-1:07, and the end starting at 3:13.
I really wish people would stop assuming everything MJ-related is a tribute to him. This video was made around the same time as the song it's spoofing. Like Fat (parodying Bad) and, really, all his parodies, he got permission at the time, and his Jackson parodies obviously worked out pretty well.
As I've read it, and I hope I'm not misquoting you Al, Mr. Yankovic has (in my opinion wisely) declined to comment on the MJ tragedy at this time.
DISCLAIMER: These comments based upon an entry in his Twitter page around the time of Jackson's death. Weird Al rules. All Weird Al sweetness is the property of its original source. Weird Al Yankovic. Who owns himself. I think.
no al did an article in the rolling stone about mj, and after he found out mj died he had a twitter comment saying that 140(?) words is not enough to describe the mj trajedy
Thank you for posting this. After seeing your comment, I looked up the Rolling Stone article, which was a pleasant surprise. Rather than commenting on the death, he simply remembers Michael fondly.
And yes, it was around the neighborhood of 140 words/characters in the quote. Interestingly enough, when this was posted on Wikipedia's "Death of Michael Jackson" page, it was removed as being from an inadequate source. Not sure it can get more official than Al himself. Silly nazis...
This is the first Al song I heard about when it was originally released. I've been a fan ever since. Al did a prequel to this, ALLEGEDLY approaching Jackson (I don't know if it really was him) at the end of a long table and asking sheepishly for permission to do Eat It. Jacko stuck out his thumb as it wavered up and down until he made his decision. Goofy? Yes. But I'd love a copy of that clip.
Is that what it was? I always wondered about that. I thought of it as a prequel to the infamous visual jokes about Michael Jackson being an alien in disguise. Perhaps unintended. Maybe I'm reading too much into it. At the time I first saw this video, I had not yet seen Thriller.
