World of Weird Al Yankovic

The Rock N Roll Hall of Fame Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, often includes pieces of rock memorabilia from all artists throughout rock history regardless if they are actually members of the Hall of Fame. The question I pose is this: if some day in the future, the powers that be at this or some other rock museum decided to feature a single costume on display for everyone to see, which costume would you like to see? Could be anything from a music video, album cover, live performance, UHF, etc.

My choice would be the Fat costume, either from the video or simply the live version. I would love to see what that actually looks like when not attached to Al's body and perhaps some behind the scenes stills of how he gets into this costume every night vs how it was constructed for the music video.

It would have to be the Fat costume. It's the most famous Weird Al costume by far. And it's the one that really launched Al's career.

Any costume that parodies a costume already there would be perfect. Bad/Fat probably qualifies.

I fourth the Fat suit! Classic. Iconic. Al.

Yes, the Fat costume is with out a doubt the most famous.

I'd like to see the Dare to Be Stupid one, too.

The "Fat" costume is pretty much the quintessential Al costume but at the same time when I think Al fashion I still think Hawaiian shirts (does he still wear them?).

He wears them for some of the non-costume songs in concert, and for public appearances as Weird Al. They seem to have mostly faded out of his off-hours wardrobe. Unless maybe when he's actually in Hawaii?
