And now for something a little different. We love Weird Al Yankovic here. You know that Weird Al does a lot of original songs in addition to his trademark parodies. Well, what do you get when someone parodies one of Weird Al’s originals? You get this, from Steve Goodie:
The slightly disturbing video of the studio version shows how faithful Goodie is to the source material, which I’ll get to in a moment. I’m greatly impressed by his ability to cram all those lyrics into such a small space, and to do so in a mostly comprehensible way. That song, along with other covers, tributes, and parodies of Weird Al tunes can be found here, and if you’re a fan it’s well worth the ten bucks.
In that spirit, here’s a tribute video to the original song, “Hardware Store”:
If there’s an official version of this video, I can’t find it, but that’s OK. It’s more fitting this way.
