Weird Al proves that one man and his accordion can bring joy to the world in these tough times we are all facing. I have loved Al since I was 7 and heard 'Eat It' for the first time. I was an odd kid, and there was something about Al I instantly connected with. I have bought almost every record and watched almost any show or movie with Al in it. Heck, I even went and saw UHF in the theatres with my mom. It was a double feature along with the Pheobe Cates 1960s set film 'Shag." I just came to see UHF and skipped the other film.

He was actually annoyed they weren't cool enough to cover and when they started getting radio play and he thought he could sell their parody, he called Kurt. Kurt said that was the moment he realized he had made it.
