[peacemkrmattarmour02]

Now I know why he's called "weird al"

[JustinSTUPIDITY]

"but i only watched Will & Grace one time, one day. i wish i hadn't cause TiVo now thinks i'm gay" best lyric in the whole song! lol

[raypsi]

WOW

[supermankelly2]

If he is not lip syncing then the audio is out with the video and definitely doesn't match.

[einat1622]

This guy is still funny after 3-4 decades ! Thanks for uploading, I enjoyed it a lot!

[patt7000]

@einat1622 Thank you for your appreciation, everyone should hear Weird Al :)

[Zacca981]

@einat1622

Decade? Really? So you're saying this parody of Eminems song Lose Yourself was made and released on this show, before Eminem could talk?

[einat1622]

@Zacca981 Read my comment again - I was talking about Weird Al , not Eminem.

[DMANDUSTYN]

I Remeber The Last Time I Was Watching This And Some Guy On Here Tried To Tell Every One Weird Al Was Lip Sync What Retard I Wanted To Punch That Guy In The Face!

[imaclown12345]

fuck you for this, fucking al yankovic.

[pankakesforlife]

@imaclown12345 what's the matter kid?

[imaclown12345]

@pankakesforlife who ya callin' a kid, bitch?

[pankakesforlife]

@imaclown12345 i still don't get why you're pissed.

[proffesorcaresser]

Sync between video and audio is outta whack...... but i'd definately say he's singing live.....sounds different to the other vids....pretty impressive!!

[DMANDUSTYN]

WEIRD ALS A DAMN GOOD RAPPER BETTER THAN MOST OUT HE COULD GIVE EMINEM A RUN FOR HIS MONEY I BET!

[zhengjohnny123]

@DMANDUSTYN he lip synced it...

[DMANDUSTYN]

@zhengjohnny123 NO HE DIDNT HE THATS DEFINITLY WEIRD AL VOICE YOU MUST BE RETARDED!!!!!!

[TheBeanSpirit]

@DMANDUSTYN He is a good rapper. Back when White and Nerdy came out Chamillioionair was asked about this parody of his song he said that he liked it. He said that not only was it funny he was impressed with Werid Al's rapping abiliy

[doodledougie1]

@DMANDUSTYN No he can't

[phineassprouse]

It's obviously not lip-syncing, as you can hear the singing is slighly different than the album version.

[supermankelly2]

@phineassprouse Musicans create a live recording to that which is in albums for that reason is it's very different.

[eminemfan606]

u suck

[chaoticlamb]

@grimcow4000 this is not lip synced, unfortunately don't trust the uploader just because the audio is off with the video

[patt7000]

@chaoticlamb *facepalm* I said it because he's so stupid he cant read what i wrote in the annotation box.

[ManiacalBunny]

having a song parodied by wierd al is the equivelent to winning an award it shows you really have made it

[Jojicarson13]

@ManiacalBunny Amen brother!!!

[nerddude7]

wierd als my idol hes awesome wait no EP!C

[firephilip10]

lol i saw him perform yesterday!!!!!!!

[LtDanw]

weird al doesn't lip sync, if he screws up live, he screws up - he keeps it real.

[iamsobored]

@snoop0851 watch?v=fUxXKfQkswE Parody of Born this way

[iamsobored]

@snoop0851 He has a new gaga parody out 

[1eminemslimshady]

lip sync



[jb6313]

Now u dont make a parody about eminems songs

[smartlamppost]

@jb6313 Why? They're so stupid, it provides endless possibilities!

[Jojicarson13]

You know you have arrived as a music star when Al takes the time to parody one of your songs. If your stuff was crap why would he waist his time on your discount bin CD? So all of you wanna be's who have uninformed opinions should think of this if your little minds can handle the strain. If Weird Al is such a looser as many of you claim ...where are others like him trying to cash in on what he started? That's right, there is no one better or near his level, maybe even in the normal music world.

[eggie947]

omg,

you peeps are missing out,

i went to the weird al concert and it rocked,

i had to leave early,

mum did not like it at all.

he did not sing this , but he showed a short video inter view vith the song in it.

[eggie947]

omg,

[eggie947]

lip synking

[MrThrasha666]

sAW this LIVE in '07, guy puts on a better show than anybody! Except like AC/DC but amazing band he has, Jim West is a way better guitarist than anybody they do a parody of.

[MegaMearsProductions]

@TheSohilz1 Learn to laugh, it's a joke.

[MWxCJadenWM]

This guy is gay

[H1N1Conspiracynews]

Shady is awesome, but you gotta admit even if you are a Shady fan, you gotta admit this is pretty fucking hilarious lol. Damn its funny.

[katelynnmathers63]

@TermaNateD7 its a good song , but not the best. well actually there all the best (:

[slimshadygirl18]

diss parody fuckin sucks u dont make fun of Emin3m like dat u know

[maniac923]

@slimshadygirl18 He got permission from Eminem so I think he's okay with this song

[slimshadygirl18]

@maniac923 he did get permission but eminem said its wimpy or sissy or corny one of those i also think is corny

[TheHawki235]

@slimshadygirl18 such a big fan of eminem ? Go read his book ,it will explain to you that he's cool with weird al.

[Alisterhenry]

@slimshadygirl18 eminem is great, but so is wierd al, you're too young to know.

[jlp0719]

@slimshadygirl18 AWWWWW isnt that cute 

[zathras]

@slimshadygirl18 Why not...M&M is a parody of a singer so it's appropriate.

[hummingbee66]

it's disappointing! I expected it to be better! compared to the other parodies it's kinda boring!

[idrive88fiero]

why hasn't he worked with bo burnham or the lonely island yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ROBLOXIANgordonrox24]

He isn't lip syncing, the video and the audio just aren't synced up.

[pearl1978wagner]

why !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[piskywolf]

dam he's uncoordinated ....

[taylorriggscom]

I don't care wait anyone says he lip song this song

[MaxKemeny]

You can tell he's not lip syncing because he misses a word at 2:18 He's supposed to say "You're gonna lose" but he only manages to say "lose" cos he's out of breath.

[izzdom]

This Is GinGin1971 same person is at Civic Theatre - Newcastle

[DFFragenstein]

[grimcow4000]

[patt7000]

@grimcow4000 Yes :)

[isetmfriendsofire]

@patt7000 Doesn't sound like it to me. O.O

[KennethKaniffFromCT]

@patt7000 No

[jasoncinema]

@patt7000 No.

[cupcake150234]

@grimcow4000  yes

[TheDaysOfLinkinPark]

@grimcow4000 NO

[KickSnareNichtsMehr]

@grimcow4000 no, unless he recorded an alternative live version and lip synced to that. The intonation and arrangement are different than the CD.

[zathras]

@grimcow4000 No he didn't...the audio is out of sync with the video

[GH3TT0AS1AN]

i dont like it

[16bstme]

fuuunnny

[mauraxx3]

it looked like he lip sangg but good video :)

[DutchDude87]

@mauraxx3 posibly because the sound ain't in sync with the vid

[BrettDeffner]

hahahaha 40 people are offended by the fact that they are couch potatoes O.o

[YeNx12]

this song is too good to be disgraced by a parody

[Maper555]

hahahaah woot woot woot wewt wewt wewt wewt wewt wewt wewt wewt wooot w00t w00t

[realmusicfan7]

weird al has been going for nearly 30 years i think coz he started in the early eighties i hope never stops producing parodies as he is the best at doing them someone correct me if i got the date wrong

[wiimaster990]

@realmusicfan7 i think that he might have started in mid 70's but didnt really get so famous till later in the 80's

[classicalhero7]

@realmusicfan7 He started in the late 70's with My Bologna. But he first started parodying in the mid 70's but it was not until My Bologna that he had success.

[tangogrrl]

@classicalhero7 Oh that's right! thanks! That was a parody of "My Sharona" but I forget who did that song.

[Jojicarson13]

@realmusicfan7 Al's first hit was My Bologna in 1979. I have been a fan since then

[tangogrrl]

@realmusicfan7 No you are right! One of his first parodies was "Another One Rides the Bus" a parody of Queen's hit "Another One Bites the Dust". It was a huge hit in LA. I think it was recorded by Al with a tape deck in a public restroom or something; hence the echoey sound. It aired on KMET radio on the Doctor Demento show, and callers boosted it to the top of the charts. His only instrument I think was playing his armpit and an accordion or something.

[ThuSkyline]

Better than most rappers promoted today. Move on over, flake - err, drake: Weird Al is on the scene, lol.

[sonic10158]

I cannot find Poodle Hat anywhere in stores >:(

[mocthezuma]

@sonic10158 then download it

[applestabbers]

This song rocks

[rickhren]

It is actually not possible for Eminem to sue Weird Al, under Fair Use Parody laws. When Al requests permissions to cover stuff, it's out of respect, not requirement.

[odingreen]

Weird Al is way cool! I've liked him since 1984. Actually he's been around since 1980 with My Balogna.

[triciap15]

It seems like the sound is a little off. You can also tell weird al is running out of breath

[marineboy090]

FUCKING BRILLIANT!!

[fhr26]

man this guy needs to make up his own songs all he does is to make fun of other peoples songs

[qrankit]

@fhr26 LMFAO. dumb ass. thats how he makes his money.

[ExuberantArmadillo]

@fhr26 Are you stupid? That's the whole point of a parody you fucktard.

[bujin1977]

@fhr26 About half of the songs that Weird Al have been originals.

I think some people need to buy a sense of humour from somewhere.

[typoking]

@fhr26 Dare to Be Stupid was original, among others.

[xanado74]

pure genius...



[revertives]

Eminem gave him the permission to record this and to make a video but at the last minute, he changed his mind and forbid Weird Al to make the video. Sorta lame, but whatever.

Weird Al's biggest fan was probably Kurt Cobain.

[ilikescreamo1991]

@revertives most likely it eminem song so he can do whatever he want but at the time he was a jackass now he change

[bigdaddy2106]

most artists actually consider it an honor for Weird Al to parody one of their songs.

[SoutherngurlNC24]

Wow, this song is genius!! But every parody Al does is genius! UR AWESOME AL:)

[Onlinepoetrycafe]

Most ppl don't think he actually does original songs, but there's alooooot! And permission now is a must.. yes. Which doesn't make sense with those rappers who are copying from 80's songs, and other popular songs without it. Weird Al respects them, puts his own twist on them, and just make them funny. Who doesn't like to watch T.V now and then? It's not making fun of Eminem, just rapping about television! : D!

[Mr86Fast]

All you guys are stupid Weird Al Yankovic gets Permition for most of his parodies so Yah.

[MoodzBlog]

gay

[Onlinepoetrycafe]

@MoodzBlog ya, u r!

[MoodzBlog]

@Onlinepoetrycafe i am what

[Gamefanatic249]

@MoodzBlog OK, YOUR A FAGG

[redrich00]

Weird al is brilliant. Eminem is a vulgar jerk and deserves to have this stupid song made fun of. I loved the song you're pitiful which parodies the James blunt song you're beautiful which is total crap.

Can't wait till weird al does songs of la-dyke gaga who should be locked up for all her stupid gay support.

[stopeatingthepizza]

@redrich00 Eminem is awesome, and Al isn't making fun of his song, he's PARODYING IT. He asked Eminem for permission first before making this song. Al only parodies singers who have really made it in life. You're the vulgar jerk.

[TheGMZSPhilms]

tevo now thinks I'm gay XD

[mpargo]

damn i cant follow him

[penquin402]

Weird al is a great rapper. idk that he could rap. he's so good. i love weird al, he is great at parodies.he is the king of parodies i dont care what people say he is the king and i will have tons of people backing me up on this.

[bamit11]

@penquin402 he's also good at singing rock like in sue ya

[penquin402]

@bamit11 i know he is, i like smells like nirvana and canadian idiot.

[coolcop211]

i hate that muther fuker his old stuffwas good!!

[kepr1]

bite your tongue 

[SuperNorthAmerica]

Kurt Cobain and MJ weren´t bothered by Al. Why is Eminem so afraid of Al. He´s just complementing him.

[schuyoff]

Now that is talent!

[deathswangkiller24]

i like weird al and eminem i would like to see them battle.. that would be cool

[LaxissOfficiel]

FUCK YOU MAN , EMINEM IS THE BEST , DONT TOUCH LOSE YOURSELF !

[silasdjo]

@LaxissOfficiel dude let it go stop complaining and sucking eminems dick its not als fault you cant take a joke

[SlowBrakes]

just a pity though that em didnt let him make a video.

[loutish77]

I just downloaded this mp3 at audiogetnow..com

[SGTItachi47]

Not one of his best, but man is he funny. "I wish I hadn't, cuz now Tivo thinks I'm gay!"

[TheJoeFlaccoShow]

why isnt the crowd laughing??

[StardustCrusade]

@TheJoeFlaccoShow Because he's not funny.

[TheJoeFlaccoShow]

@StardustCrusade yeah ok

[ribjr1980]

@TheJoeFlaccoShow it may be funny but it sounds good too lol weird al is in my opinion the most diverse performer out there

[zekapeka111]

@TheJoeFlaccoShow

There payd by Eminem !

[Someinsanegenuis]

@TheJoeFlaccoShow cause the sign isnt on?? american just do as they are told :P

[r4sh89]

@TheJoeFlaccoShow maybe cause they are all couch potato!!! xD

[oldinfant23]

I really miss his mustache!!!

[Jsmith12292]

I like Eminem and Weird Al

[ilikescreamo1991]

@Jsmith12292 me 2

[StinkArmsBG]

weird al can rap

[CommentFly]

@MrYourmon569. Are you a member of the KK Clan or something? Rucka Rucka Ali is a poor parodyist and a racist fuck

[MrYourmom569]

FUCK WIERD AL FUCK HIM EVERBODY KNOWS THA RUCKA RUCKA ALI IS THE KING OF PARODIES

[Jojicarson13]

Al is a true artist , he took an unused area of music and made it his own . Other artists take it as a badge of honor , that they have made it , when Al makes fun of their song .

[MrYourmom569]

@Jojicarson13 UMM NO

[DanteDevil2727]

Al is such an underrated artist. haha

[BigBabacup]

lol



[Jewelrylover111]

Much much much much much better then Eminem. (I don't like Eminem anyway. XD)

[janickaan]

@Jewelrylover111 You gotta be kiding me.. The original is way way better.. but this isnt bad at all

[partypack30]

they can only be sued if they use the same name or if the song is too familiar

[RagDollSam]

I'm still amazed he can hide all that hair so well it's awesome

[wizard101major]

i hate it when pple complain that weird al might be sued for making paradys of other songs -.-...........you have to ask the original artist to make the parady or else its copyright...idiots XD

[Lotsoffun111]

@wizard101major no you dont actually idiot. you have to ask the RECORD COMPANY. he says he asks the artist so he doesnt get in trouble with them personally... like Eminem didnt let him do a music video. Amish Paradise the artist hated his song and threatened to kill Weird al.

[Cormorant5]

@Lotsoffun111 You don't have to ask someone for it to have the same tune and maybe some hint it's a parody. As long as you mention "Parody of-" in the name it's fine. But being the polite person he is, Weird Al asks anyway.

[eurasianchica]

@wizard101major No, parodies fall under "fair use" under USA law. Weird Al can make whatever parodies he wants, and he could have made the video for this one, but it is more respectful to listen to the wishes of the original artist.

[MsRedrum41]

thats so cool wonder is eminem seen this he should its cool

[devilduck5150]

Dude , best artist since Alice Cooper !!! Nobody does a show like them !!!

[sack46]

Weird Al is a Genius!

[vanillabitty]

It can be hard to see past the goofiness sometimes, but he really is a comedy genius.

[furiouscruzer]

i know eminem let him do the song, but he should let him do a music video to it aswall, very dissapointed in eminem

[ptownpresident]

At least 10x better than eminem. Tivo thinks I am gay he is totally keeping it real.

[AMMindfreaksisters]

Before weird al makes any parodies of songs that originally belongs to someone, like this song originally belongs to eminem, he has to ask permission first, or he could be sued for either copyright or playgerism

[Thepaddster]

@AMMindfreaksisters He couldn't be sued for either. It falls under parody which is exempt from copyright laws. Its just a moral he holds.

[AMMindfreaksisters]

@Thepaddster Well, that's just anothe reason to love him :)

[monkeyjeffhardyboy]

weird al looks like a try hard lol

[iPHANN]

sounded kinda messy

[whoru19061]

he isnt lipsyncing, the recording sucked or weird al did but i dc because its amazing song

[Weezy8887]

his fuckin parody sucks dick

[777SOTC]

You can never say that someone/something is better than someone/something else because there will always be someone who disagrees with you and their opinion stands as strong as your's. You can say "I believe..." or "In my opinion..." but you can never say "He/she IS better..." or "That IS better..." :) Lecture over.

[MaddDogg81]

If I was a singer it'd be a compliment to have my songs parodied

[kozskate]

love the lipsynching

[wazasss]

@kozskate He isn't lip synching. The video's audio isn't synced right. =D

[freerunningflame1]

@kozskate half way it gets off sync

[twistedmetalfreak90]

wierd al yankonic is asome



[spior]

this will be the only time i say this....FUCK YOU AL!!!

[MrDarksonic]

@spior it was funny but you should be mad at mj he told him to make this

[CallOfDutyFan808]

Eminem should do a diss to this guy.

[shotup911]

@CallOfDutyFan808 I agree.

[montigekyou]

@CallOfDutyFan808 eminem let him do this...
