I'm currently listening to some Weird Al (Alpocalpyse)

I'm wondering if there is any one else like him, with his parody songs an' all.

 

He is pretty awesome, I need MOAR...Like him....

Is there any other's like him?

 

Please, Note any down, I WILL listen to it!

 

Thanks in advance ^-^

I don't know if there's anyone else like him but he's totally one of my favourite artists. I love like all of his songs.

[Chill Mists (Chilly) 801]

I have loved his music and him for a long long time, his songs always make me laugh and they're just done so well :3.

[Neikos 968]

Of course, that man is a legend! His songs are funny, he chooses his parodies well and is all around just a nice guy.

[Pencil J. Doodle 242]

The Lonely Island has a similar style, and they're pretty funny and awesome themselves. I'd say they're best well known for "Throw It On The Ground" and "Like a Boss"

 

But when it comes to Weird Al, yes, i do like him. I don't listen to his music that often, but when i do, i am amazed by the quality and humor that he does. It's just so awesome

[FedoraMemes 582]

I haven't listened to much of him, but the stuff I have heard is brilliant, like his Nirvana parody, and the Drive Thru song. Can anyone link me some good songs by him?

[Samurshy 708]

The key of awesome is a youtube group that parodies all of the popular hit music of today. Most of it is hilarious, I love it when they make fun of ke$ha she deserves to be banished and thrown in a dungeon in the place she was banished to.

[Arcanel 3,041]

Here's a guy that, when making parodies, he knows what he's doing. And the fact he does them in music style, is even more awesome. Power to you Weird Al, and if you ever come to the show, you'll be well received.

Of course! Everyone loves Weird Al! He has so many great songs, his songs are very catchy and fun to listen to

[Ad Foedera Cresco 188]

I Love Wierd Al The closest I could think of him is actually Lonely Island! as somepony already stated.

Well, we've heard the rumors!

We can but hope, Al SHALL grace Equestria!

Imagine his song though....It'll be like Pinkie - Mega-hyped

Eh, Lonely Island are good, especially 'I'm on a boat' and 'Like a boss'

I find them a bit too sweary sometimes though..

 

It's still good!

i'm suprised anyone havent mentioned stephen lynch yet.

and if you want someone who pariodes popular songs (and is pretty much a parody in himself) you might wanna check out rucka rucka ali.

[000 206]

I haven't listened to Weird Al in a LONG time! But yeah, I do like him. Most of the famous Youtubers follows in his path.

 

I'm going to listen to Weird Al now

[Cocodrillo 1,565]

I LOVE that guy. He´s one of the best parody-makers I know and also a great musician.

Here, have one of my favorities:

Have you ever seen Weird Al live? One of the greatest performers ever, and he has perfect pitch, obviously.

 

All around fantastic.

 

As far as others like him? He's one of a kind, but you can find other parody artists....

I remember long ago, back in my years of first and second grade; Weird Al was the coolest thing since....Ever? There was a time where my buddies and I had every one of his songs memorized, and everyone would listen in awe at his brilliance and creativity...

 

But you know, as soon as the internet became more-widely-used; anyone, anywhere, could become a "Weird Al." Anyone could create their own parody renditions of popular songs, and publish them on sharing-sites for all to hear. Now you can hardly watch any video on youtube without seeing a parody-song as a "Related."

 

The world is now full of "Weird Al"s, and now I could care less for the real/original--or any number of the fake/new--Weird Al. There are now too many parody songs to keep track of, so why bother? I honestly can no longer see anyone's fascination with this guy seeing as how anyone with any smidgen of creativity could do the exact same thing just as easy.

[XUNUSEDXXX 3,459]

there are none that can even come close to comparing to the legendary weird al. dont try, your efforts will be in vain.

[Dusty Soul 2,611]

Weird Al is awesome. I love his parodies especially, Ebay. He is a legend among parody writers and musicians alike.

[Ajay 10]

oh and my copy of the Alapalooza album has been signed by Weird Al Yankovic. my brother got it signed for me when he went to a concert.

[BoltingBrony 0]

Weird Al is a legend! And the closest guy I could find was Bob Rivers, who makes many song parodies.

[techno915 408]

My favorite songs by him are party in the CIA (there is also a pmv of it that is fun to watch) and the saga begins. Both songs have good music videos and do an excellent job with lyrics.
