April Fools Day is for amateurs. You NEVER need an excuse to mess with people's heads.So, this is just a joke trailer? At first that's what I thought but Al on Twitter and facebook, and on weirdal.com make it sound real...and it's early for April fools lol.
Yeah, and all those Weird Al videos were pretty damn elaborate for songs that weren't, y'know, REAL...Still, it's pretty elaborate for a hoax.
Funny Or Die makes lots of funny viral spoof videos that, through website ad revenue, can afford to look as elaborate and professional as the real thing, thus helping the joke. It's not a HOAX exactly, more of a...oh, what's the word for it? Kind of a........PARODY.
Yeah.
Anyway, I hope Al plays this clip in concert. The most ideal place would be right before "Fat," replacing that old MTV spot from 1998 (another satirical take on Al's career that went swooshing over the heads of some irony-impaired folk, myself at the time included...)
Really enjoyed this! It wasn't perfect, and granted I probably laughed harder when listening to the new Richard Cheese album earlier, but still thought that this was done really well!
