[morller9]

@mojotheater50 Lol smosh lives there..... I think?

[forevershining1]

i LOVED this as a kid. haha half the weird al songs i thought were originals, who knew:)

[dementis93]

Oh my god, this is so hilarious. Sounds so much like the original it's creepy.

[ciocrasfola]

31 people need a boomerang when they put on their belts.

[MackNJacishopper]

It seems like google images was abused in this video =D

[qattah]

very good!

[royaldinner]

0:54 ewwww

[awsome2464]

Good for him; He was talking all about his weight problems in "Fat" and now he's losing weight. Good job, Al!!

[CaribDude815]

I don't understand. I love this song, but why is it so underrated. I wonder everytime I listen to this, why it isn't bigger than "Fat" or "Eat It"..

[stbays]

@CaribDude815

It probably due to the fact that "Fat" and "Eat It" are parodies of famous Michael Jackson songs where as "Grapefruit Diet" is a parody of a lesser known song by Cherry Poppin Daddies.

[ryukXsayu27]

@CaribDude815 "Fat" and "Eat it" are singles with music videos. The only way anyone would have found out about "Grapefruit Diet" (legally) is by buying the whole album.

[diesweetprince]

when I'm all done eating....I eat a little more

[zerocool08]

its funny how that you only have trumpets pictures and no saxophone pictures...

granted you hear the trumpets more but there is saxophones

but either way still a funny song

[volcanolord100]

I'm hungry now.

[TheMegaAwesomest]

Funny!

[TheGreatSimaChops]

that was funny as hell man i loved all the pictures of the trumpet dude lol

[DeathToTehFurries]

Get out `da way

Let LOUIE play!

[MyLifezAManga]

Mitchell-u t are a GENIUS!!!!!

[vampirebillslover]

nice, reminds of someone i know,they need a grapefruit diet. roflao

[Pacfan98]

We must encourage others to eat Grapefruits so we can put an end to obesity.

[11linksys]

no kidding my band class was just about to

play zoot zoot riot which is the tune of this song

[cheese883]

Armstrong is the best trumpet player

[LordGosai]

I work at McDonald's and today at work this song was stuck in my head the whole time. The irony amused me greatly.

[mike53nepa]

Great parody. Sugar poppin Daddies ought to be flattered

[leebenzaquin]

@mike53nepa *cherry poppin' daddies

[touchmyabs]

@mike53nepa:

it's cherry poppin' daddies

[neoprankster]

@mike53nepa You mean Cherry Poppin Daddies.

[LiloPelakai]

@mike53nepa agreed. they're not nearly famous enough to be parodied by the King of Parodies.

[dontpunchgirls]

@mike53nepa Cherry popping daddies and they are a gr8 band so why should they be so flattered

[stbays]

@dontpunchgirls

Cause you haven't really made it in the industry till Weird Al makes a parody out of your song.

[simmerke1111]

stupid old ppl

[phorselover109]

the imitation at the end is definatly Elvis "The Pelvis" Presley....stupid young people...

[DefconBravo]

Isnt it a parody of the bit at the end of zoot suit riot where the singer says 'im about ready to sing now...' ?

[therelliksan]

You would assume so.

[dmoen76]

awesome vid dude... 4 real

[krickerd]

@dmoen76 No doubt! Perfect timing with the images!!

[JOSHSKORN]

lol in the end, it sounds more like a bad imitation of Bill Clinton.

[20RH10]

I love the random gibbirish part, in the real one, and the parody they made it here

[20RH10]

LOL GREAT

Zoot Suit Riot is an awesome song and so is this :)

[xbad2dabonex]

seriously really disturbing

[megolas17]

WEIRDAL YANKOVICH ROX!!

[BestFruitNow]

[Supertazgirl]

This video made me hungry!!!!!

[summerlovinariel]

the original song is by the cherry poppin daddies so why do you keep showing louis armstrong??

[berserker2391]

the trumpet obviously

[jewelrox]

grapefruits taste feral as!

love this song lol

[TheSoHuman]

This song is a parody of Zoot Suit Riot by Cherry Poppin Daddies.

[see320]

lol this guy is great.

[ZEPPELINALF]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[PhantomDog]

Ha a bandstand Smurf

[prettiep]

grapefruits are better than jelly filled doughnuts!

[Dndrhead]

Hah. I like the Satchmo pictures during the trumpet parts. It adds a little bit of hilarity to the song.

[DizzyVixen]

Oh, lordy! I'm laughing so hard right now! xD

[jimjam485]

How the hell do you guys not know what a cornet is. :P

For that matter, how do you not know what a saxophone is.

[xXxrachhunnixXx]

[OfficeDonut]

You got that right, dude! XD

[OfficeDonut]

Great song! Laughed my ass off! Me like it! XD

[heckjumper]

[Thearl]

Thanks for the post.

[ItsSporkyTime]

best songg

HA.

[GamerBoy53]

Wow, I just thought it was a little different that there are like 10 saxophonists in there and they are the same race, and yet now 5 people intend to be my sworn enemies.

[mitchlol]

lol First of all, it's a trumpet. Second, it's all the same guy: Louie Armstrong. He was one of the most famous trumpet players. And don't worry about it, people on the internet like making enemies lol

[dontpunchgirls]

@mitchlol why louie the original was by CHERRY popping daddies completely different style of playing, i suppose louie armstrong pics are easier to find though

[eternity899]

@mitchlol duh cause its easier to make enemies on the net than friends irl

[soppydogproductions]

@GamerBoy53 well thay are just a bit silly

[bassmantomas]

@GamerBoy53 saxophonists?! keep it up, smarty pants.

[musicluva13579]

@GamerBoy53 you are kinda stupid...its louie armstrong

[GamerBoy53]

@musicluva13579 Yes, I found that out 2 years ago. Get over it, and come up with better insults.

[KillerXtreme88]

@GamerBoy53 kinda hard not to when you have your facts wrong..

[PlatonicAmore]

take it away louie!!!!

love the song, tis funny it made me smile and dance =)

[spydernut1]

cheese

[aap7monkey]

"Doesn't anyone find it odd that all the saxophonists are black??? " No, because whites don't have a sense of rythm where black people do.

Great song :D

[Mindless2164]

Agreed. :P

[kitty1111112]

lol yea but thats a cornet learn the difference

[GamerBoy53]

Doesn't anyone find it odd that all the saxophonists are black???

[adzmodeus]

"All"? It's the same one all the way through. He's called Louis Armstrong, and there's a reason he's used... look him up...

[PrincessLisa32]

LMFAO!! This is awesome!!

[KiyokoTotaharu]

I got more rolls than a pastry truck!!! :0

LMAO!!!! :)

[KiyokoTotaharu]

[Igotopinions]

[ChomuSclavus]

Seems like something from Diablo.

[SaintMisery]

lol we are playing "zoot suit riot"(the song this was made from) in pep band, and sometimes we will sing the words to THIS version when we dont have playing parts. Love this song!

[JHOW95]

[Kerorofan04]

Best one ive seen

[Dolfproductions]

dude... whats with all the pictures of trumpet players???

[mitchlol]

Well it's just one player, and it's because there's a trumpet solo thingy.

[JHOW95]

what about sax

[TheAodhByrne]

@mitchlol Actually, in the real song, it's an alto saxophone, trumpet, and tenor saxophone.

[BedroomDesk]

[mitchlol]

Wow, that's a lot of stars :P, Thanks a lot :D

[WeissDraconis]

Cleverly done. I like the uses of Louis Armstrong for the Trumpet solos, too.

All in all, well pieced together, and I liked the uses of the visuals, good job.

5 stars from me.

[mitchlol]

Thanks a lot :D

[WeissDraconis]

No problem, the truth always deserves to be said.

[JudeMaris]

Okay, this video is FUN! Dig the creativity all 'round. :D

[mitchlol]

Thanks :D

[lightsdevil]

where did you get the picture of obees people

[mitchlol]

The internet. You can find anything if you know what you're doing :P

[chicybo]

i love how u use the trumpeter pics thats kool

[mitchlol]

Thanks. It's Louis Armstrong, a famous Jazz trumpet player and scat singer

[chicybo]

i know i just couldnt think of his name i play trumpet

[sitesurfer897]

this should be part of a weird al trilogy

first: eat it.

second: fat.

third: grapefruit diet.

[skonza]

Oh yeah! That's rich! XDD Awesome thinking there! :D

[mitchlol]

lol good idea :P

[loveland88]

This video sucks, you just put a bunch of random shit there it ruined the song completely

[mitchlol]

Um the pics are not at all random... they're exactly what is in the song. And how can pictures ruin a song? If you don't like them then just close your eyes or something and the song is not changed at all
