By the way, this is a totally farcical account of Yankovic' life (no, he did not have a relationship with Madonna), just like his song parodies. But it does look like it will be fun to watch.

Pure comedic, musical genius.
WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story - official trailer
My favorite:
My Favorite is “White and Nerdy.”
Weird Al is great! I like the one with the Amish and Gangsta Paradise.
I also like the Paul Shanklin parodies on Rush Limbaugh. My favorite is “In a Yugo.”
“Another One Rides the Bus.” “Like a Surgeon.”
Thanks, will definitely watch
I’m so watching this.
His “(I Lost On) Jeopardy” featuring Art Fleming was credited with bringing back the game show in the ‘80s.

weird al is doing for music biopics that he’s done for music... parody. he was not that cool... weird al will probably wake up in bed at the end, with bob newhart.
I graduated HS in 1987 and a couple of years before that a teacher had us paid up and write a satirical song to current lyrics.
My partner and I wrote…”Every Chore You Make”. It was an ode to our parents.
“Every leaf I rake”
It was a fun exercise…
Don’t know that one , I think.
What’s it spoof?
One of my favorites

With his help I wrote/edited an Al fanzine for several years. It’s shocking to see some of those years are covered in this film! It was a brilliant idea to get Daniel Radcliffe to play Al —- it may introduce Al to a whole new generation of Radcliffe fans.
Years back VH-1 did a farcical “Behind the Music” episode with Weird Al.
Hilariously, in this "biopic", they're making him out to have been a booze-drenched trainwreck who was banging Madonna.
I'm sure that's part of the joke!
Looking forward to watching this.
Some Rap song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9qYF9DZPdw
I recall on Sunday evenings in the mid Seventies, listening to the Dr. Demento show. (KMET 94.7) Weird Al would hand deliver his tapes and the Doctor would do the rest. Good times.
Oh good, I did not know that, thanks!
