'Tacky' by Weird Al Yankovic
- Thread starter Shaka Zulu
- Start date
Apparently there's going to be 8 videos posted over the week.
I loved this guy in the 80's, but I don't know any of the songs he's parodying now.
I'm really glad he's still at it.

Okay, here we go:
'Tacky'-based on 'Happy' (Pharrell Williams)
'Word Crimes"-based on 'Blurred Lines' (Robin Thicke)
"Foil"-based on "Royals" (Lorde)
BTW, here's the video to see instead of to link to: [yt]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsWo8apgLys[/yt]
^ Oh, I could look them up, but the original songs aren't anything I would ever listen to.
Al's 80's stuff was all based on songs I would hear all the time, so I "got" those.
At least he's staying current.

"Word Crimes"
Love it!!!!!
Love it!!!!!
That literally made me laugh so hard Martians registered it 6.7 on the Richter scale.
Word Crimes...........fantastic video. I can't stop smiling. Off to Best Buy now...
Haven't had chance to listen to the whole album yet, but I did like word crimes.
It literally made you laugh that hard?
I would've given that a 10 if he had included lose vs. loose.

It "literally" did.
Both of these are fantastic.
The problem with modern-day Al is I haven't a fucking clue what he's parodying.

My dad, a retired literary scholar, loves "Word Crimes", too.
I really like his new album! 
Just got it from freegal (a MP3 site my local library goes through). Worth every cent. Will be downloading the last two songs from it next week.
I don't either. Found out what they were for Mandatory Fun, via Wiki.
