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 2 years 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!
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Al is harmless & fun & makes the world better but AI is a threat to human wellness & sanity & employment.
VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Well, the documentary said he was going to come back with a zombie army after Madonna had him assassinated.
Brekky@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Legit thought this was a bad joke about people mixing up AI (Artificial Intelligence) with Al Yankovic!
xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 2 years ago
it is
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 years ago
We’re making that happen in the comments.

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
arudesalad@sh.itjust.works 2 years 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
niktemadur@lemmy.world 2 years 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.

I saw the biopic, Jackson shamelessly ripped him off.
CitizenKong@lemmy.world 2 years ago
It’s a disgrace Madonna wasn’t even put on trial back then!

Al isn’t original
Clearly OOP forgot about the best song of all time
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 years 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.
MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 years 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
phorq@lemmy.ml 2 years ago
Can’t tell if that’s Al or really a photo of Daniel Radcliffe…
Davel23@fedia.io 2 years ago
Considering Al died in the mid-'80s, I doubt it's him.
neatchee@lemmy.world 2 years 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 2 years ago
Madonna is still in mourning.
dumbass@leminal.space 2 years ago
I’m sorry Mr. Weird Al Yankovich. I will try to be better.
FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 2 years ago
*too
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.
SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 2 years ago
But all his stuff is Al generated and it always has been.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Sure, but he was trained on a bunch of other musicians.
Dioxid3@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Oh my god this is hilarious
Norgur@fedia.io 2 years ago
And all Al says is convoluted, kinda off and weird.
Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 2 years ago
He posted this joke himself lol Image
SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 2 years ago
How did he parody me before I wrote that?
