Your mileage may vary.
From his classic Michael Jackson parodies ("Eat It" and "Fat") to "Smells Like Nirvana," "Amish Paradise" and his brand new Eminem parody, "Couch Potato," "Weird Al" Yankovic has made an art out of mocking classic videos and lampooning today's current hits.
Now the king of rock and roll parody is back doing what he does best...
Hot on the heels of his CD release, "POODLE HAT," pop culture's consummate prankster cranks up his "pirate satellite broadcasting transmitter" to take over the airwaves of VH1 with "AL-TV." In this outrageous one-hour special, Al is visited by some of the world's biggest music stars, who drop by the AL-TV studios for their "exclusive interviews" (you'll have to tune in to understand why we put the quotes there). Al also introduces his best friend and world-class stunt rodent Harvey the Wonder Hamster, and of course... he plays all the videos that HE wants to watch! (Strangely, they're all his own... hey, it's his show!)
It's "AL-TV"... the reason television was invented.
So it looks like they will play it to death. And all over the schedule to get maximum coverage.
Wind up those VCRs kids! Oh, and if you are a Nielsen family... watch and/or tape every single episode.
Maybe if we blitz VH1 with thanks and requests we can get them to get Driven and the old eps of ALTV out of mothballs.
