Weird Al Yankovic
Alfred Matthew "Weird Al" Yankovic (pronounced /ˈjæŋkəvɪk/ ; born October 23, 1959) is a Grammy Award winning American singer, musician, actor, satirist, parodist, songwriter, music producer, accordionist, and television producer. Yankovic is known in particular for his humorous songs that make light of popular culture and that often parody specific songs by contemporary musical acts. Yankovic received his first accordion lesson a day before his seventh birthday, and since his first-aired song parody in 1979 has sold more than 12 million albums (more than any comedy act in history), recorded more than 150 parody and original songs, and has performed more than 1,000 live shows. His works have earned him three Grammy Awards among nine nominations, four gold records, and six platinum records in the United States. Yankovic's first top ten Billboard album and single were both released in 2006, nearly three decades into his career.
In addition to recording his albums, Yankovic has written and starred in his own film, UHF , and his own television show, The Weird Al Show , and directed music videos for himself and other artists including Ben Folds, Hanson, and The Presidents of the United States of America. He has also made guest appearances on television shows such as Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! , The Simpsons , Behind the Music , Johnny Bravo , Space Ghost Coast to Coast , The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy , Robot Chicken , and Transformers: Animated in addition to starring in his own Al TV specials.
