Al here. .. No, really, it's Al. Seriously. .. What, you don't believe me? Go ahead, check ....weirdal.com..... Hit the MySpace link. See if it brings you right back to this page. Go ahead. I'll wait. .. See? It's really me. .. I should point out... this means that conversely, all those other people on MySpace who are claiming to be me or implying that they are me... are definitely NOT me. I'm sure they're very nice people... they're just not "Weird Al" Yankovic. I assure you. .. You know, I've been wanting to get on MySpace for a while, but I always thought it would be kind of redundant to have both a MySpace page and an ....official web site..... But then I remembered my New Year's resolution: "Try to be more redundant!" So here I am. .. Anyway, thanks so much for dropping by. Just because you're still reading this, I already consider you one of my dearest and closest personal friends. So please keep in touch, okay? Don't be a stranger. .. Love,.. Al .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... ........ .. About Your Comments .. .. .... .. .. Thanks for asking, but… I never reply to comments or leave comments on other people’s pages. Believe me, I’d like to, but I just don’t have enough time in my life. Sorry… it’s nothing personal. .. I’m also sorry to say that I don’t have time to read private messages, but I do try to read as many comments as I can. .. Speaking of which… this page isn’t maintained by my record label or an assistant or an underling or a fan – it’s maintained by me personally. So if you’d like to make my life a little easier, please… .. ......DON’T POST HTML....... I disabled HTML a while ago because I was tired of being spammed with inappropriate images. So if you try to post a comment to this page that includes images or links, it will just show up as code. Which isn’t very fun to read. So don’t do it. .. ......DON’T ADVERTISE....... Whether it’s obvious spam or just somebody trying to solicit friends for their own page, this isn’t the place for it. .. ......DON’T BE REPETITIVE....... Please please please please please please please… don’t post the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Even if it’s something nice. It just annoys everybody. .. Also, don't forward chain letters of any kind, don't post ultra-wide messages that stretch out the page, and... well, just don't be a rude, obnoxious jerk. .. If you do any of the above things, you will be deleted and/or blocked. Sorry. .. Also, I know this is MySpace and all, but in keeping with the whole “family friendly” thing, please try to watch the profanity. .. I really do appreciate all of your wonderful comments… they mean a lot to me. Thanks so much! .... FAQ Lite I've found some songs on the Internet that have your name attached to them, but they just don't seem like the kind of songs you'd write. What's the deal here?? .. .. .. Unfortunately, there are many "funny" songs floating around the Internet being attributed to me which are, in fact, NOT by me. "Barney's On Fire," "I Ran Over The Taco Bell Dog," "Weenie In A Bottle," "I'm A Wigga," "The Beer Song," "The Devil Went Down To Jamaica," "Elmo's Got A Gun," "Which Backstreet Boy Is Gay," "What If God Smoked Cannabis" (the list goes on and on)... these are NOT my songs. All of my material is fairly family-friendly, so if you hear one of "my" songs and the lyrics are vulgar or obscene... well, that's an excellent clue that it's not really one of my songs. Hope I've cleared that up. Oh, while you're at it... stop stealing my stuff off the Internet, you hooligan! .. .. .. How did you get started in the music business? .. .. .. I started sending in cassette tapes of my material to the Dr. Demento radio show when I was in my early teens. The Good Doctor gave me airplay when any right-thinking disc jockey wouldn't have dreamed of it, and by the time I graduated from college, I had a modest cult following and a couple of nationally-released singles ("My Bologna" and "Another One Rides The Bus"). I signed with Scotti Bros. Records in 1982 and did my first 9 studio albums with them (currently I'm with Way Moby/Volcano/Zomba/Sony BMG). .. .. .. Do you get permission to do those parodies? .. .. .. Yes, I do get permission from the original songwriters. While the law supports my ability to parody without permission, it's very important to me to try to maintain the relationships I've built with artists and writers over the years. Thankfully, most artists seem genuinely flattered to get the "Weird Al treatment." Some groups (including Nirvana) have publicly stated that they didn't realize that they had really "made it" until they heard my parody! .. .. .. When are you going to do some original songs? .. .. .. Umm... Half of the songs on my albums are original songs. Many of them are done in the style of another artist, or in a specific genre, but they are original compositions. Any other questions? .. .. .. Are you interested in my incredibly lame idea for a song parody? .. .. No. .. -

- Christopher Brown1 year ago
Al love the music do not stop. Been listening and a fan since your days with Doctor Demento. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to some new music. Enjoy that I can share it with my kids and we can all have a good laugh.

Dear Al.
I remember taping your first auto-biography,which was so brilliiant!
You talked about when you were just a single-celled amoeba.. a "parpamesieum"
Which made me laugh so hard.You are so very intellictual with your music and lyrics, and a fantastic transcomposer and performer and listener.... you are
the " intellectual trust fund"
Jennifer Lopez insured her butt with "LLyods of London"
Surely we can pass this gene to future generations
and the legacy of your talent and generous heart.
I see your a family man to us all.
Bless your Family Always,
Thank you for YOU!

Hey. My best friend's parents met you today and, hopefully, had you sign two lime green spatulas for us. So it's like I met you vicariously. =) I can't wait to hear how it went, it was like a question and answer session. I offered them a hundred bucks for a ticket (and I'm a student... with no job...), buuuuut they were pretty bent on seeing you.
But it's funny how life works out. 'Cause then my other best friend told me that he's giving me a signed picture of you. And I sort of cackled joyously for a few minutes. It would have gone on longer if I didn't have roommates...
The point is, just the thought of you signing a spatula for me makes me happier than anyone would care to know.
You rock hard, Al, and I love you to the power of infinity. It's not often that I remember how to have fun, but listening to one of your albums always does the trick. Plus, you're way sexy. There, I said it. (Isn't it great that bizarre humor and accordion talent translate into sex appeal? You got a good thing going, Al. *lovesick sigh* I was sooooooooooooo close to meeting you... No disrespect to your wife, and... well, I guess I shouldn't swear that I'm sane, but I will swear that I have no intention of stalking you.)
Peace (unless, of course, that's not creatively pragmatic... no, even then. You've got enough money to trade it in for happiness, right?). =) - George Kiefer2 years ago
Al, I am so pleased to be playing many of your songs at the ballpark this year, including "Hey Rickey"and "Yoda". Of course..uh...there are no lyrics......but hey, who DOESN'T think of those songs when you hear "Hey Mickey" and "Lola", right?
- The Knight2 years ago
Hey Al, I was so disappointed last night when Stephen Colbert's album beat it Internet Leaks. You have been a dedicated artist for over two decades now and produced tons of great music, and I thought Internet Leaks had some of the best tracks you'd produced yet. Stephen is a comedian first, and a divisive one at that. He's hardly genuine, as he merely plays his fictional pundit. It's a shame that they thought his album was more deserving. I patiently and excitedly await your new album. Best of luck to you this year, Al!
- Kristen Jensen2 years ago
Hey Al!
I've loved your stuff since I was ten, which was the same age I bought my very first album: "Dare To Be Stupid".
My dad told me about your most-awesome performance of "Pinball Wizard" at the Lynwood High Honor Society dinner. I wish I could have been there!
I'm definitely going to try to check out your show in Costa Mesa. Can't wait!
Hugs!!
Kristen
P.S. It's too cool to see They Might Be Giants in your Top Friends. They make my ears very happy :). - Andy Griffith2 years ago
hey ali watched your bio and your movie from the 80s both were great im a big fan of yours now can you answer this i heard that in the 80s you commited suicide because people wouldnt buy your cds(heard it from king of the hill)i know its not true because you wouldnt be here but howd that rumor start.well my last name is griffith and you see my names andy well i get picked on and i got the nickname weird andy i dont let it put me down and i heard you dont let the name weird put you down either.thats it try to talk to me or something.

I'm quite disappointed you just lost to Stephen Colbert, after all..I held my breath for the entire duration of the Grammys in hopes of bringing you luck! But think of it this way, once you release a physical album you'll be up for next years Grammys! Oh, and we need to get you that star on the Walk of Fame!!! I don't want to live in a universe where Ryan Seacrest and Tinkerbell have stars but you do not.
As always, Keep up the AWESOME!!!
