At this point I've got a bit of a track record. So people realize that when 'Weird Al' wants to go parody, it's not meant to make them look bad... it's meant to be a tribute.

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.

Until you came along I never dated anyone this low on the food chain.

If something is good enough, it can be out there and people will see it.

I start with a comprehensive list of all the recent songs that have been big hits - and then I go down that list and see if I can come up with funny ideas for them. I can always come up with ideas, but not necessarily good ones!

One of the hardest things I've had to deal with in my career is keeping my material topical even though I only release albums every three or four years.

There's enough people that do unfunny music. I'll leave the serious stuff to Paris Hilton and Kevin Federline.

I don't think there are any new media I'd like to cover.

As it turns out, there is a thing called the Internet, and stuff does go out there whether the suits like it or not.

I can't get too offended when somebody parodies me.

I'm watching the charts every week and hoping something will pop into my head.

I think I'm equally as abusive as the editors normally are for the Letters and Tomatoes column, which is the fan mail part of MAD Magazine and an ongoing feature.
Al Yankovic
Image
I don't want to pooh-pooh modern pop. I appreciate that as well, but my personal favorite kind of music is guitar-based rock. I like grunge and garage bands and alternative music, but that's more my personal taste.

Velvet Elvis never puts on weight.
Al Yankovic
Image
I mean, I hate to gloat, but I'm extremely satisfied with my position in life and the way things have worked out for me.

I guess I lost a little bit of self-esteem that time that you made it with the whole hockey team.

By the time I'm in the studio recording my parody, 10,000 parodies of that song are on YouTube.

People that were a little nerdy in high school would look up to me and know it gets better.

I was a huge fan of 'Mad' magazine when I was 11, 12, 13 years old. I'd scour used bookstores trying to find back issues, and I'd wait at the newsstand for a new issue to come out. My life revolved around it.
