Note: This imitator is not to be confused with "Weird Al" Yankovic (note the spelling!), the pop music parodist!

Boy, are there some really bad imitators you have to know about, so you won't be fooled into shelling out your bucks and getting burned at the record store!

Wierd All Yankovich, or Werd Al Tankovic, or whatever he spells it with, is best described as the ANTI-WEIRD AL. Unlike the real Weird Al, Wierd All has no clue how a song parody works, nor does he care how your money is wasted as long as you spend it on him! He is unfunny, uncreative, and dull!

Wierd All has way to much dictatorial power in Southeast Asia....it really bugs me, he's a jerk. He's the crown prince of exploding toilets!

Yes, Wierd All, indeed, does suck. He sucks. Man he sucks. Dude, does he really suck. He's the suckiest suck that ever sucked.

Now, Weird Al, on the other hand, rocks. He rocks. Man he rocks. Dude, does he really rock. He's the rockiest rock that ever rocked.

Wierd All has been a long-time arch-nemesis to Weird Al. And, of course, who could forget All's side-kick, Wierd Al. Oh, and then there's his other partner in crime, Weird Al Yankovich... and the crime boss, Wierd Al Yancovich.

How can U forget Harv's arch-nemesis Harry the Blunder Gerbil, the only guy on #wierdal and alt.music.wierd-al (oh yeah, I saw a guy spam to "alt.music.wierd-al"! LOL!) going!

Who are Wierd All's band members? Jim East, Steve Kay, Bremuda Weiss, and Ruben Sandwich, or are they Jim East, Steve Gay, Hawaii Shortz and Ruben Valtura?

And the Wierd All show on Cable Access channel 10, Aurora right after Wayne's World!

Didn't this Wierd All guy plan to do an album called "You, Yourself, and Them," but the master tapes got erased when he passed the ticket booth at a train station?

Wonder why Wierd All sucks so much. Oh, I remember:

  • A while back, Weird Al's evil twin brother, Wierd All, decided to make music parodies of songs and subjects nobody cares about.
  • While Weird Al refused to do a parody of the Macarena, Wierd All did the parody...resulting in boos, hisses, rotten tomatoes, poor record sales, and financial ruin at his former record label.
  • While Weird Al refuses to use other people's ideas, Wierd All said ok to all kinds of listener ideas, most of them mediocre at best, but Wierd All never got permission to use them, nor figure out royalty payments for their copyrighted work.
  • Wierd All used them in his albums "Bad Fair Day", "All-la-pa-loser", "On the Deep End", "VHF", "Even Better", "Dare to Be Brainy", "In 2-D", and his debut album titled "Wierd's All, Folks". Lawsuits never caught up with him until his 1997 album "Thank You Fools!" and ticked off dementoids demanded payments for his poorly-sold parodys of songs nobody wanted to buy.
  • As I type this, Wierd All is facing over $1 billion in lawsuits, and he is asking Ted Turner for the money to pay off the plantiffs.
  • Wierd All refused comment in my post.
  • So, I guess you're right, Wierd All sucks, but wEIrd aL RULES!

    Someone heard that Wierd Al was sued by Disney after doing a polka medley of popular Disney songs called Polkahontas. This may mean the end of Wierd Al as we know him! Long live Weird Al! Now, if only we could do something about that Wierd All guy...

    WIERD ALL! Isn't he that guy who wrote "Like A Table"? If thats him, then YEA! He DOES suck! He also did "Like A Sturgeon" (his song about fish) and the infamous "Omish Paradise", and "Adventures of The Radioactive Hamster From A Planet Near Mars"

    Wierd All had nothing but a good hair day.

    Didn't Wierd All first submit his song "My Aunt Mona" to the Sgt. Serious Radio Show back in 1979? He played the triangle in a noisy bus stop on the tape!

    How do you misspell his name?

  • Weird All

    Wierd All MP3's?

    Q: Anyone know a good page with some wierd al MP3s? I am looking for mainly the older stuff. Any help would be appreciated, just e-mail me, please.

    A: He put them up on his own website, but that was a bad move. Everybody thought his songs were free and they simply saved his files on their hard drives without paying, therefore, Wierd All cheated himself out of the residuals that would have come from the sales of his songs. Again, Wierd All is not only a bad parodies, he's a bad businessman as well.

    T: You know, I'm still wondering when someone's gonna go to the length of actually recording an authentic Wierd All song and put it up somewhere!

    A: Sorry, but "Wierd All" Yankovich's songs are digitally programmed to only allow ripping in the MP0 format. Each song, especially the older ones, will take up 134 GB of space on your hard drive.

    This Just In from Joe DeAngelis...

    Once again, Wierd All Yankovic is in trouble with the law. Days after being sued for not getting permission to do his most recent polka -- Polkahontas -- All has been caught again. This time, Wierd All was kidnapped by John Linnell of They Might Be Giants after updating a TMBG hit with James K. Polka.

    It has been said that the Johns will only release All if he promises to make them a batch of his homemade Split Pea Fudge. Press releases are still pouring in. More on this breaking story when details come rolling in.

    On a totally seperate note, "Weird Al" Yankovic is not being held in any custody and is in no legal trouble. We now return you to "The Hanson Show" -- with guest star "Weird Al" Yankovic here on CBS.

    The VHF Movie

    FAQ: Does anyone know what Wierd Al's plot in VHF was?

    Elvis answered:

    Yes. Wierd Al played Goerge, a character who was a successful enteprenuer. In a blackjack game, his aunt Hervay won a tiny little VHF station. Against his aunt's wishes, Goerge quits his other jobs and invests all of his money into the station. With programs like "Wheel of Hamsters", "Raul's Carpet Lint Collection", and "Conan the Vacuum Cleaner Salesman" the station goes belly up in less than a week. To add insult to injury, Goerge's long time girlfriend dumps him and leaves him forever. In a last futile attempt to save the station, Goerge put's his janitor Stenlay onto the air. Stenlay decides to put on a telethon which sadly raises only 72 cents. George's family disowns him, and Goerge dies pennyless and homeless. Rated PG-31.

    A Simplicated Song
    

    Hey! I also bought the new Wierd All CD and at $72, it was an absolute ripoff!

    Look at what this Wierd All guy did on his CD "Walking With Sisters":

       1. American Rye
       2. My Baby's In Love With Saddam Hussein
       3. Pretty Fly For A Fried Ham
       4. The Wierd All Show Theme
       5. Phil Donahue
       6. Perms
       7. Chant Power
       8. You're Horrible Today
       9. It's All About That Benji
      10. Yugo Drivin' Song
      11. Pant Suit Riot
      12. some song about a suburb of a city I can't recall.
    
    None of these tracks are worthy of your time or your money, you're better off buying some 'N Sync imitators CD that this piece of junk who just can't get a clue on how to write a funny song. Sheesh!

    American Rye was about some forgettale story centering on some bakery's love of rye bread, and equally as bland at that.

    My Baby's In Love With Saddam Hussein just shows us how sick society has become when females start lusting over evil heads of state in foreign countries. This baby is a mental case!

    Pretty Fly For a Fried Ham is nothing more than a twist on the expression "When (Dead) Pigs Fly!" To add further insult, they use triangles instead of guitars!

    Phil Donahue is about a long-gone TV talk show host who pioneered his genre but who cares about him anymore?

    Perms is about hair and that's it.

    It's All About the Benji is about some 70's mutt from the movies that today's children have no clue what he's about.

    Yugo Drivin' Song is yet another song about a cheap economy car from the 80's that already sucked to begin with.

    Pant Suit Riot is a complete farce about battles in the fashion industry. A compleat yawner.

    Out of 10, this album gets a MINUS 27! A complete stinker! A total loser! And a waste of CD burning effort!

    Weird Al fans, don't be fooled by Wierd All's music. Stay aware and informed and DON'T let ANYONE rip you off! Insist on the original!

    Weird Al, with the E before the I!

    Problems with the Wierd Al Website

    From: Mpyendra

    Hello, I'm having problems getting to www.wierdal.com. Whenever i type in the address to go there i get a web site that has a list of domain names that are for sale. I never thought much about this before, because I just got in the habit of going to Bermuda's old website and following that link, but i see taht his site is not at that address at all anymore... Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong?? Thanks for your help....

    From: Rot 13 to Reply

    Oh no. That putz Wierd Al couldn't even keep his own website up? What a maroon!

    From: Gblankcs

    I went to wierdal.com and a list to a bunch of outdated sites and stuff appeared.


    Relationship

    FAQ: What is the relationship between "Weird Al" and Wierd Al? Are they bitter enemies?

    ANS: Wierd Al is the evil twin of Weird Al


    References

    FAQ: I heard there were two references to Yankovich (not Yankovic) on the TV show, KING OF THE HILL. Is that true?

    ANS: According to Hank Hill, he blew his brains out in the late eighties when nobody bought his albums, and another one when Bobby, is trapped and he says "I'm going to die, alone and friendless, just like "[Wierd] Al" Yankovich".


    Video Game Parody?

    FAQ: Maybe Wierd Al did have a pac man song, i don't know

    ANS: No, Wierd Al had a song about another videogame: Channel F, which went nowhere fast. Guess Wierd All just can't pick the subjects right.


    Weird All's Number

    FAQ:If "Weird Al" is associated with the number 27, is Wierd Al associated with the number 72?

    I don't think Wierd has a number.

    Wierd All's number would have to be an imaginary number, something like what you get when you take the square root of a negative number or raising a negative number to a fractional power.

    Michael adds: Actually, certain fractional powers are OK. For example, (-1)^(1/2) = i (an imaginary or complex number), but (-1)^(1/3) = -1, which is just a plain old integer.

    Osserman adds: More precisely, a negative number to the p/q power, where p and q are relatively prime natural numbers, will have a real solution if and only if q is odd, will be purely imaginary if and only if q=2, and will be complex with nonzero real and imaginary parts otherwise (note also that the choice of root is not well-defined over the complex numbers, eg (-1)^1/2 = +/- i.) Actually, I think Al might do better with a surreal number. The complex numbers are a little pedestrian.


    Who's Sargent Seriouso?

    Briefly, he was responsible for giving Wierd Al all the needless airplays since 1976. He also hosts a weekly syndicated song program heard on no stations, playing boring songs and otherwise bad stuff that nobody wanted to ever hear again. Home, Latest News, Weird Al, Articles, E-Mail
