Will "Weird Al" Yankovic Apologize for These Songs?
Hollywood In Toto ^ | April 29, 2019 | Christian Toto

Posted on 04/30/2019 6:55:18 PM PDT by Ciaphas Cain

“Weird Al” Yankovic is in his fourth decade poking fun at the biggest pop songs around.

Does he have to start apologizing for a few of them now? If so, he’s not alone.

Comedians are revisiting their past material given our overly sensitive times. Often, the decision is made for them. Just ask would-be Oscar host Kevin Hart, felled by old homophobic jokes.

Others are taking pre-emptive measures to avoid those “Apology Tours.” It’s why Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen apologized for their comedy hit “Superbad.” It might explain why Judd Apatow, the king of “white dude bro” humor, went woke.

So far, “Weird Al” has mostly avoided the PC Police.

Mostly.

When Eddie Murphy apologizes to Mr. T, then I know the Apocalypse is upon us...

Dear Mr. Toto.

YOU offend me. Please apologize. Then just go away somewhere, get a real job, and leave us alone.
Thank you.

No and never. He’ll probably write a song about not apologizing.

Honestly that’s the sh!t that’s out there. Weird Al can only use what is there. Good music died In The 80’s

Bring on Andrew Dice Clay. And for music, try the actually-innocuous musical piece, “The Little Negro.”

I know. It’s not his fault, but it limits his appeal (to me). He’s actually the star voice actor of a cartoon called Milo Murphy’s Law, so he’s doing good right now either way.

"Hey Norton! Come down here, I want to show you something....."

Delirious is still as funny today as it was then. I still laugh as hard at it now.

Wow, that tells me how old Craigslist is, because Ray has been dead since 2013.

I’m not a big fan of Jimmy Fallon, but he did a good Doors-inspired version of the Reading Rainbow theme.

“You didn’t get no ice cream, you didn’t get none, you didn’t get none, ‘cause you are on the welfare, you can’t afford it...you can’t afford it....you can’t afford it....and your father’s an alcoholic...”
