More quotes by Al Yankovic
Nows the time to go for all the gusto you can grab. You'll have plenty of time to be low-key when you're laid out on the slab.
Al Yankovic
I don't think there are any new media I'd like to cover.
Al Yankovic
I don't like to label myself. I know I'm very hard to pigeonhole.
Al Yankovic
I dated Siamese twins, I slept with Big Foot, too. Get me on Sally Jesse, put me on Donahue.
Al Yankovic
I'm always a little leery about doing shows where I'm not the headliner because when I first started playing in 1982 I opened for Missing Persons and got pelted for 45 minutes. After that, I made the decision to headline no matter what, even if I was playing to seven people. I wanted people to be there to see me.
Al Yankovic
I enjoy all kinds of music. But it is kind of strange when I do parodies, instead of setting up drums and guitar amps.
Al Yankovic
I knew we were having problems when you put those piranhas in my bathtub again.
Al Yankovic
A lot of rap songs don't usually have a lot of melody per se.
Al Yankovic
Velvet Elvis never puts on weight.
Al Yankovic
So I'm one of the few celebrities that got to do a repeat performance on 'The Simpsons,' which I'm very flattered by.
Al Yankovic
In the '80s, I was putting out an album virtually every year, I think mostly based on fear - that if I didn't, people would soon forget about me.
Al Yankovic
One of my pet peeves is that sometimes the talents of my band get overlooked because, and it was the same problem that Frank Zappa had, with a lot of groups that use humor, people don't realize there's a lot of craft behind the comedy.
Al Yankovic
I think that nerds, if you want to call them that, have only gotten more hip and assimilated into the culture.
Al Yankovic
Not any specific one, but I was a huge fan of Frank Jacobs, I guess he wrote the plurality of the song parodies for MAD, Sam Hart, a few others, but that was also where I was first exposed to the art form of song parodies.
Al Yankovic
The music has always been my bread and butter, and I've focused more of my attention on that.
Al Yankovic
I make charts of songs that are good candidates, good targets, so to speak. Then I try to come up with ideas for parodies. And 99% of those ideas are horrible.
Al Yankovic
I decided that I wanted to be a voice on every animated cartoon in the history of the world - even shows that haven't been on the air for a very long time, that's going to be harder to pull off.
Al Yankovic
In the '80s, I was the only game in town, I was the only one getting that kind of exposure in any rotation on MTV. Now with internet culture it seems like everyone is doing music parodies. And they're not all good!
Al Yankovic
My hobbies just sort of gradually became my vocation.
Al Yankovic
Whenever I do a parody it's not meant to make you hate anybody's music really.
Al Yankovic
