weird al yankovic

With the new year here, you are probably planning out what things you will be attending like concerts or comedy shows. Here are the concerts and appearances that are coming to West Michigan from now until May.

Daniel Radcliffe gets weird in this spoof of musical biopics.

It is here, and it is weird.

Perfect casting, really.

We have Movies, Music, a Flea Market, a County Fair, Comedy, a Color Run, Baseball, Biking, Bowling, and...the World’s Largest Dog Wash!

Bet the founding fathers never expected the likes of this.

Serious question: does any single entertainer have such complete dominion over their chosen field as Weird Al Yankovic wields over the song parody? Skeptics may scoff that musical spoofery is a stupid thing to become really, really, virtuosically good at, but the point stands that Yankovic has completely and totally mastered his preferred art form. So when the producers behind the upcoming film adaptation of the Captain Underpants chapter book series needed to find a talent for their theme music, of course their choice was obvious. In no insignificant way, Weird Al Yankovic was born to write a peppy pop tune about tightened-whiteys.

The parody artist said he tried many times to land a Prince song, but that he was never given the rights.

The 2014 Emmy Awards skewed a little hipper this year, with host Seth Meyers and his army of comedically inclined friends providing more laughs than your average stodgy awards show. However, the ceremony went full internet-friendly when Weird Al Yankovic, hot off the first number one album of his lengthy career, took to the stage to provide your favorite TV shows with the one thing they so desperately need: lyrics.

Following the great success of the roll out of his latest album "Mandatory Fun", fans of Weird Al Yankovic are petitioning the National Football League to have him play the Super Bowl halftime show. Weird Al released the videos from the album one by one over a week back in July, and one of the biggest hits among his fans was a song titled "Sports Song".

Continuing his promise of releasing eight videos in eight days, "Weird Al" Yankovic has dropped the seventh video off 'Mandatory Fun' (available on iTunes and Amazon) today titled 'Lame Claim to Fame.'

'Weird Al' Yankovic is letting all of his first world frustrations out in 'First World Problems,' the latest in his eight videos in eight days campaign -- and PopCrush has the exclusive premiere of the video.
