And it’s already Video Saturday again. Time passes almost too quickly. Especially on the weekend itself.
Today I would like to show you some of the really good parodies “Weird Al” Yankovic has made. Although you might say that he just copies other people’s song, and where’s the talent in that, just listen to his lyrics (he knows what he’s singing about) and listen to how well he actually covers the music itself. Besides, he doesn’t only make parodies. But mostly.
Anyway, without further ado, here we go:
