    But all his stuff is Al generated and it always has been.

    • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Sure, but he was trained on a bunch of other musicians.

        Oh my god this is hilarious

        And all Al says is convoluted, kinda off and weird.

        How did he parody me before I wrote that?

    Wait who is hating on Weird Al?! I still won’t forgive Prince’s dead ass for being mean to him.

    • CaptainEffort@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It’s messed up, right? Loads of people are hating and fear mongering Al for absolutely no reason, he’s done nothing wrong.

      And to all those saying Al is going to take over the world and cost us all our jobs, Al would never do that to us!

        Al is harmless & fun & makes the world better but AI is a threat to human wellness & sanity & employment.

        Well, the documentary said he was going to come back with a zombie army after Madonna had him assassinated.

      Legit thought this was a bad joke about people mixing up AI (Artificial Intelligence) with Al Yankovic!

      • xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        it is

        We’re making that happen in the comments.

  • brokenlcd@feddit.it ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    This is one of those times where using a font with serifs would have ruined the joke since l(L) and I(i) look different

    source
  • arudesalad@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I actually saw this post, the amount of people who were getting mad at ai support even after BEING TOLD THE PUNCHLINE was insane

    source
  • niktemadur@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    “Al” looks just like “AI”.
    In fact, “Artificial Intelligence Yankovich” should be the name of his next album.

    • zarathustrad@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      And, he should use LLM to write the lyrics.

  • hypeerror@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I saw the biopic, Jackson shamelessly ripped him off.

    • CitizenKong@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It’s a disgrace Madonna wasn’t even put on trial back then!

  • DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Al isn’t original

    Clearly OOP forgot about the best song of all time

    source
    • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      To get real for a second, he recently did a tour where he did none of his parody songs. He still had enough for a full show.

      source
      • MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Oh yeah. Al has a lot of original songs, but they’re usually “in the style of” someone. One that stands out for me, is “dare to be stupid” in the style of Devo. Very clearly in that style. But it’s not a parody.

        In so many cases, I would say that Al is as talented, or more talented than the people he parodies. Taking someone else’s song and inventing new lyrics to it that not only make sense, but they’re interesting, catchy and fit the song perfectly, can be a real challenge. He reproduces all the music with his own band, and of course also has original content too.

        Looking at all of that and thinking “he’s unoriginal” is insanity. He’s weird, sure, just as his name implies, and that’s what’s great about him.

      I tried to learn the product list as a kid but it’s so hard with how quick he goes. Still a favorite song

    Sorry Mister Al

    Can’t tell if that’s Al or really a photo of Daniel Radcliffe…

    • Davel23@fedia.io ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Considering Al died in the mid-'80s, I doubt it's him.

      • neatchee@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Yeah, hasn’t that person seen the incredibly accurate journalistic masterpiece documentary “Weird: The Al Yankovich Story”?

        I don’t think he’s seen the 100% true film using only authentic footage from his life “Weird: The Al Yankovich Story” 😮

      • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Madonna is still in mourning.

    I’m sorry Mr. Weird Al Yankovich. I will try to be better.

  • zarathustrad@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Sure, Al has made a ton of deep fakes, and makes us question the nature of art, and the viability of art as a career in the modern era… But he is funny.
