It seems to be working. He’s been relevant since long before I was born and I’m old as fuck

Right? It's weird to think he gained popularity in the 70s.

Weird Al has been relevant longer than most artists he parodied. Its going to be sad day when somebody finally milkshakeducks him and we find out he plays like Sea of Theives and is racist against italians.

Weird Al is right up there with folks like Mr. Rogers and Levar Burton.

Absolute legend. He certainly didn't invent musical comedy, but he's a paragon of the genre and has brought it into the public eye like no one else.

I always thought if the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame ever pulls their head out of their collective ass and inducts him, it would be a fantastic tribute for all the living artists he's parodied to perform his version of their song.
