Weird Al Yankovic - If That Isn't Love (Alpocalypse)

[74drumdude]

why does this sound like its in a different key?

[Dlareme180]

Im so playing this at my wedding.

[SimuLord]

You get the feeling that every time Al writes a "love song", his wife feels compelled to say "this isn't about me, is it?"

[MrBrownstone8881]

You make a beautiful sunset look like a big fat turd!! :D

[CheatumStudios]

3 dislikes are Women who think love is something else -_-

[MisterMoccasin]

@kenzydollluvsgaga This is definitely late, but yes. You're spot on

[Soulless261]

holy s*it who dares to dislike this! X-(

[sonicdrummersm]

Let me clairfy how all this works, as my degree is int he music business.

No matter where you purchase this album, the label get's money for it. They deserve some since they paid to make the album and market it. Al and his people probably get about 15%, that's pretty typical. He makes most of his money touring, and from merch, but there are typically a lot of fees in both of those worlds.

It's ok that you guys are confused, i'm starting a website to clear up how these things work.

[kravens001]

awesome drums..

[Pampahase]

Sooo sweet ;) Now I finally know why there are always a few drops of milk left ...

[TacoToastify]

Thank you Weird Al now their is a real love song that expresses our (the mans) feelings

[cstockfo99]

Actually Volcano is a small record label, which a lot of artists are doing in order to avoid the corrupt contracts, like Weezer, or working independent of record companies, like Switchfoot. These small record labels are typically owned by current or former musicians who know what crappy contracts are like and only give out good contracts. So yes, Weird Al gets a lot of the money. But either way he has had a super successful career and probably doesn't care a lot about the money.

[RPGgrenade]

you girls just don't understand what men REALLY do to express their love for you =D this song embodies all of the things we think is romantic ~!

[WiiMoat]

@infowarrior2112 Actually, most of a band's revenue these days comes from concerts. So the very best way to support them is make it out to those. But buying their albums still supports them. If it didn't, they wouldn't work with record companies.

[Infowarrior2112]

I really don't think buying albums helps the bands. If you go to best buy and buy this albums do you think that the corrupt record companies are going to pay him, or pay him a good amount? NO!

If you want to give bands money, buy directly from their websites.

[Happydanser]

@Infowarrior2112 1 problem, the website is managed by the record companie. because they deliver the CD's

[emergencyromanticxx]

@Infowarrior2112 Al doesn't have albums up for purchase on his website, only on iTunes and Amazon.

[ShellsOnTheFloor]

@Infowarrior2112 You do realize that artists voluntarily sign the contracts record companies offer them? Record companies aren't some evil shadow organizations. They do all the promotion and advertising and actually make the CDs. Artists aren't forced into signing their deals. They sign because they like the deal they've been offered.

[exmruniverse]

@Infowarrior2112 actually, artest make almost all of their money from ad's so even if no one buys stuff, as long as the video is popular they will make money.

[shizzle803]

@Infowarrior2112 who the hell do you thing sets up their websites and uploads the mp3s? Idiot they can't legally sell their music and get 100% of the earnings when they are tied to a contract with a record company. Thats the fuckin point of a record label, to give killer publicity in exchange for a portion of the earnings!!!

[evilfruitloop]

@Infowarrior2112 Your dumb. First off, this is an artist who has been around for a long time. So I'm sure hes doing just fine. Second record companies work off signing bonuses based on how good you are at what you do and a percentage of profits based on your contract. Without a label to back most starting bands , they could never develop the PR the would need to make any money. why dont you check your facts before blurting your stupidity into the public.

[Xiammes]

@Infowarrior2112 or live venues, which weird al is great live.

[XxfishpastexX]

@Infowarrior2112 itunes fucks bands over, the bands get pennies!!

[PCRenegade]

@Infowarrior2112 Hahahah, who do you think runs the band's website? If they are signed to a label, the label handles everything, they don't just make their own website unless they are unsigned.

[nutfiles]

SO fucking disappointed in this album!

[CheezyAnimationsInc]

that grim reaper guy looks so cool

[weirdalfan5566]

this kinda sounds like hanson any1 agree

[pastemaster99]

@weirdalfan5566 he was trying to make this song sound like Hanson, Taylor Hanson plays the keyboards on it

[Fbiman93]

For all that are unfamiliar with Weird Al's albums, usually half his songs are parodies and the other half are his originals.

[devilduck5150]

Yeah , Weird Al will do STYLE parodies , But Skipper Dan in a 100 % his !!!! Just like this one !!! Honestly , if you don;t buy the albums , then why make comments !?!?!?!

[ChristianMusician85]

@devilduck5150 Actually, all of his originals are style parodies. Skipper Dan is in the style of They Might be Giants, and this song is in the style of Hanson. Taylor Hanson even plays the piano on this track.

[chicagofan76]

@ChristianMusician85 he's directed 2? Hanson videos and appeared in their latest video and claims to be the eldest Hanson brother.

[ThatGamer360]

@ChristianMusician85 Actually, Skipper Dan is an (uncomfirmed) parody of Wheezer. They Might be Giants were parodied for "Everything You Know is Wrong" and parts of "Genius in France".

[tokesalot42069]

ringtone, this song, cnr, skip dan, craigslist, stop forwarding are parodies of diffedrent bands genres not specific songs

[cdrom98]

@kenzydollluvsgaga yeah. this song is Hanson, CNR does the style of White Stripes, Skipper Dan does Weezer, Craigslist does The Doors, Ringtone does Queen, and Stop Forwarding... does Jim Steinman.

[drsinister07]

@cdrom98 It's called ORIGINAL MUSIC, this is an example, Weird Al does parodies but he also writes his own stuff, its not parodies of ANY band.

[impossimadnescyAJ]

@drsinister07 It's his original music. Style Parody means that he made it in the style of that band, but it's original.

[MisterMoccasin]

@kenzydollluvsgaga I think it's a stylistic parody of Hanson

[nowhereman136]

Nice to see Taylor Hanson still working

[MrIr8urfrigginmovie]

@nowhereman136 - They have actually have released a lot of Albums but they just aren't mainstream. I believe that they performed a song from their latest album on Jimmy Kimmel in like January.

[alienjoe123]

naa nana nanananaa

[Mastertbird9697Droid]

Its a style parody of Hanson if I think

[ThatGamer360]

@Mastertbird9697Droid Well, Hanson's doing the piano...
