Tickets for Weird Al Yankovic

 

Alfred Matthew Yankovic, better known as Weird Al Yankovic, born on October 23, 1959, is an American musician best known for his parodies of contemporary radio hits.  In addition to his parodies, Weird Al Yankovic also includes a medley of various songs on most albums, each one reinterpreted as a polka, with the choruses of various songs juxtaposed for humorous effect.  Weird Al Yankovic's humor lies more in creating unexpected incongruity between an artist's image and the topic of the song.  Weird Al Yankovic is best known for his song parodies, such as Eat It, though he has actually recorded a greater number of original humorous songs.  Weird Al Yankovic was an architecture student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and a disc jockey at the university's radio station where he got his name Weird Al.  When a door to door salesman came around offering accordion and guitar lessons, Weird Al Yankovic's father opted for accordion saying that there should be one more accordion playing Yankovic in the world besides polka king Frankie Yankovic, to whom he has no relation.
