I hope he makes it in someday but I fear not for a long time. His best chance was probably during his mid 2000s career revival but I'm not sure. It's worth mentioning he has inspired many (Flight of Conchords, The Lonely Island) and has outlasted many acts he parodied

I honestly believe the man deserves to be inducted, and eventually will be.

If Weird Al is inducted it certainly shouldn't be for music because he never developed any music, he just parodied what was already out there.

And if he is inducted, Doctor Demento should go first.

Posted by D. Stroy on Friday, 06/21/2013 @ 15:56pm

I love Weird Al, but he probably won't get in anytime soon, whether he deserves to or not.

After looking at Roy's list of "rare" Weird Al songs, I'm doing a search for those. They look priceless!

Posted by CP on Wednesday, 07/24/2013 @ 11:23am

Those songs were never actually released anywhere.

Posted by Roy on Wednesday, 07/24/2013 @ 11:42am

I actually have some of those rare songs on my computer (back when the old and 'real' Napster was in business). I'm sure someone by now has uploaded them to Youtube

You really think Weird Al should be taken seriously? All of his stuff is the music of others with his own parody lyrics. Other than those parodies, he hasn't created any music, or moved music forward one step. He basically helped keep the Dr. Demento show going for a number of years, but other than that, pfffft. If you want to get someone in from the Dr. Demento show, it should be either Dr. Demento himself or Alfred E. Newman for "It's a gas."

Posted by D. Stroy on Thursday, 01/23/2014 @ 12:30pm

"You really think Weird Al should be taken seriously?"

Michael Jackson, Nirvana, Mark Knopfler, the Presidents of the United States of America, Chamillionaire, Don McLean and Lady Gaga all thought enough of him to be fans or allow him to parody their songs. George Lucas reportedly enjoyed "The Saga Begins", and the Presidents changed the ending of "Lump" to what Al did. It's not US taking him seriously...it's the people he parodied.

Posted by SotN on Thursday, 01/23/2014 @ 20:22pm

Also, one could argue that his music has exposed fans to some artists through his parodies.

Posted by Steve Z on Thursday, 01/23/2014 @ 21:56pm

I think the true "Unquestionable musical excellence" of "Weird Al" Yankovic is focused in his style parodies. The brilliance of his mimicry of others in original styles is truly a gift. Song like "Trigger Happy", "Pancreas", "Dare To Be Stupid", and "Bob" show a keen observation and analysis of music itself. Additionally, I think his lyrical style has evolved and matured over the years. I think his songs have gotten more bite over the years. You may not think so because they are still comedy/novelty songs, but satire and mockery can still be powerful social motivators and/or commentary. It kind of began with "Another One Rides The Bus", using stereotypical annoyances of public transit. But I think it really began to blossom with "Trigger Happy" about the dangers of gun nuts. I think it continued on later in the '90s with songs like "Your Horoscope For Today", poking fun at astrology; "Everything You Know Is Wrong" which is both deep in its own metaphysical and semi-scientific hypotheses and interestingly hilarious in its ridicule of metaphysical and semi-scientific hypotheses. "Don't Download This Song" which not only pokes fun at the whole supergroup exploit, but also poke fun at the whole Napster upheaval.

I think Alpocalypse shows his best social observations to date. Granted they're more "first-world" problems, but that's the society he's in and sings about. "Skipper Dan", my personal favorite is about crushed dreams. "Craigslist" in addition to pointing out the absurdities you can find, but also mocks its usage as a social medium. "Ringtone" is pretty self-explanatory, as we've all heard some really obnoxious ringtones in our day. "TMZ" openly mocks the paparazzi and the American culture of obsession with being obsessed. "Party In The CIA", well, I think that would have been more potent a social commentary if he'd made it "Party In The TSA", but it's still a funny song. "Another Tattoo", while not my favorite song of his does make fun of the tattoo-nistas. And "Stop Forwarding That Crap To Me" is an undisputed masterpiece, as many of us have been both the offending party and the offended party in our internet social experiences, while also attacking the very existence of memes and viral cybermaterial. It's sheer genius.

So while he's not the textbook definition of "original" a little abstract thinking points out the absolute originality and genius of "Weird Al" Yankovic. So yes, I'd be ecstatic if he got in the Hall.

Posted by Philip on Thursday, 01/23/2014 @ 23:33pm

My favorite Yankovic song in that vein would have to be "Headline News" considering it seemed to anticipate the news media turning into entertainment and focusing on trivial stories and beginning to ignore hard news RIGHT as it was happening (but you could say that song didn't do anything that Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry" hadn't accomplished well over a decade earlier, or movies like "Network", etc...) Even better, it mocked "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" which was quite possibly the dumbest of all the faux-alternative hits of the '90s.

"Genius in France" has to be the best style parody simply because of how hard it is to mimic Frank Zappa.

As for the Hall, I can fully understand why somebody would argue passionately either way, but I don't really have any opinion myself.

I went back and checked all the credits of Weird Al's songs again. Weird Al never had any help with the lyrics to his parodies or his original songs. Weird Al wrote all the lyrics! Weird Al also wrote all the music for his original songs. So, "Weird Al" Yankovic should qualify for the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Word Crimes # 39 on the Billboard 100 Singles Chart. 4th Top 40 Hit for Weird Al.

Hot 100 debuts include 5 Seconds of Summer's "Everything I Didn't Say" (No. 24) and new Billboard 200 leader Weird Al Yankovic's grammar-lesson parody of Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines," "Word Crimes" (No. 39). The comic icon scores his fourth top 40 hit on the Hot 100, following "Eat It" (No. 12, 1984), "Smells Like Nirvana" (No. 35, 1992) and "White & Nerdy" (No. 9, 2006). Reinforcing his longevity, he's, thus, now sent a new single into the top 40 in each of the last four decades, something that only two other acts have done: Michael Jackson and Madonna, both of whom, he's, of course, ribbed in his inimitable good-natured way. (Jackson's streak actually stretches back to the '70s, as, earlier this year, "Love Never Felt So Good," with Justin Timberlake, rose to No. 9. The peak made the late King of Pop the first artist with top 10s in five distinct decades, and six if including his hits with the Jackson 5.)

Express your passion. Tell me to f off and explain why I'm wrong about Yankovic in your own words. You are capable of that.

Let me break it down very succinctly. Weird Al Yankovic is mad funny. He is master of the rock musical parody because he actually is very talented. He's done Madonna, M.J., Dire Straits, etc. ... most recently Pharrell's "Happy" ("Tacky") etc., etc. and the original artists love his takes and are honored by them.

What if "Weird Al" Yankovic isn't nominated and inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in the main performers category, but instead, he is inducted in the "Musical Excellence" category or the "Lifetime Achievement" category? Would that bother anyone?

Posted by Roy on Thursday, 01/28/2016 @ 19:41pm

He should be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame too. I don't know why the Hollywood Walk of Fame is taking so long. That should be easy for someone like Al.

Posted by Roy on Sunday, 03/13/2016 @ 10:09am

Bohemian Polka from Alapalooza was a remake of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, word for word. So it's Weird Al's only actual remake of another artist's song. Well, George of the Jungle too.

Absolutely. Sure, there are arguments that he didn't write the music, just the lyrics. But, he got permission from each artist &/or band, and plus, he is very much well known around the world and is one of the funniest people in the music industry. Plus, his versions of songs are really good. A definite yes on Weird Al getting inducted.

Posted by Nathan Miller on Thursday, 09/15/2016 @ 23:44pm

imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But Al hasn't really released material that starts with Al. His stuff can be funny and remind us of Michael Jackson or other luminairees, but he doesn't possess t creative spark or originiality.

Al's cover of "What Is Life" is very phenomenal.

Weird Al has also done a polka medley for the songs from "Hamilton". And he has remixed some songs by Portugal The Man, most notably "Feel It Still". This was not the first time Al and the band have worked together, as I saw Weird Al and Portugal perform on-stage at Bonnaroo years ago.

Why hasn't there been another artist like "Weird Al" Yankovic since "Weird Al" Yankovic started? A parody artist whose career has lasted 40 years. Is no one trying?

Posted by Roy on Monday, 03/11/2019 @ 21:07pm

I'm sure there's plenty of Youtubers who are waiting for their big break on becoming the next big parodyist. Even Al himself once stated in an interview that he's competing with people on Youtube and the Internet, and maybe somebody bigger than him will arise.

I don't think that many people equal the amount of talent that Weird Al has. Al could create several characters out of himself. The reason Weird Al is the biggest novelty act for Generation X-on is because he's always re-invented himself -something not very many people have noticed.

Weird Al is the top-selling comedic musician of all time. Not just that but he has managed to stay influential for over 40 years. Not many musical artists can claim even that.

Posted by Andrew on Tuesday, 08/20/2019 @ 16:50pm

Monty Python should have a page on FRL as well.

Posted by Roy on Saturday, 10/10/2020 @ 16:25pm

Since Al's musical style and genre is unique, I'm looking for a baseline for comparison.

Al had 14 US-charted studio albums over a 32 year period.
11 were Top 50
8 were Top 20
2 were Top 10
1 was #1

Al has 5 Grammy Awards

Are there any other eligible artists who can match/exceed those accomplishments who haven't gotten in yet?

Posted by Andy on Monday, 10/19/2020 @ 14:05pm

Weird Al is my number 1 current snub from the hall and I'm not saying that as a meme. You look at the chart and video successes, the way he forged his own path in a field that was all his own. The respect he has amongst other artists is there. Think of all the artists he has parodied and them saying it was a highlight of their career.

Posted by Erik on Sunday, 02/7/2021 @ 06:45am

The Weird Al film will be out next year or so on Roku with Daniel Radcliffe. While the Motley Crue biopic didn't help them out (Pam and Tommy probably will delay them longer) I feel like this flick will boost Yankovic. I'm thinking he'll get a nomination soon and probably be awarded Musical Excellence right after.

There's no one else like him

Posted by mat r on Thursday, 03/3/2022 @ 22:52pm

He is a unique talent, but if you put him in, what about Steel Panther? To me, those guys are just as talented with their parody stuff. Probably better musicians too.

Posted by Paul in KY on Friday, 03/4/2022 @ 07:13am

steel panther is talented but weird al had the longevity, genre range, commercial success, and Cultural icon status that steel panther came no where close to.

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story

Posted by Roy on Monday, 05/9/2022 @ 06:34am

The inspiration for "You Don't Love Me Anymore" is Nicolette Larson's "Still You Linger On from her 1982 album, "All Dressed Up and No Place to Go". Why would Weird Al be taking inspiration from a Nicolette Larson deep cut?

Now the song is actually an Andrew Gold cover. The original version was released on his 1978 album, All This and Heaven Too. It also bears some semblance to You Don't Love Me Anymore, but it also has a keyboard part (or possibly guitar?) that shows up throughout, and it doesn't really have the strings that the Nicolette Larson version has. Anyways, he and Nicolette Larson were in a serious relationship in the early 80s and were engaged. He produced her album "All Dressed Up and No Place to Go", but the two broke up after recording had finished.

"Weird Al" Yankovic and Nicolette Larson dated briefly in the late 80s. Given that a lot of Al's Style Parodies are based on people that Al has developed friendships with over the years, it actually makes sense as to why Al would have been inspired by this song. Perhaps Al was inspired to write this after the two had broken up?

If he does get in, I would love to see Steve Martin induct him.

I feel like Weird Al is the most recognizable artist in what he does in parody, in that he could be called the King of it. Often artists feel honored and like they "made it" in the music industry if Weird Al parodies one of their songs. As well that his parodies help boost the popularity of the original songs, so it isn't just what it parodies makes him popular, it's who originally did it gets a boost in popularity as well. Parodied Queen in Another One Rides the Bus. Joan Jett in I love Rocky Road. Ritchie Valens in Lasagna. Michael Jackson in Eat It and Fat. Madonna in Like a Surgeon. Nirvana in Smells like Nirvana. Billy Joel in An Ode To a Superhero. All those artists were previously inducted into the rock and roll of fame. They might not have been as popular or solidified in pop culture if it wasn't for those Weird Al parodies. Heck, there's even a movie about Weird Al. It may be more of a parody on typical biopics but it is still about him and how he impacted the music industry. As well he had top 40 hits for 4 decades straight He might not be inducted for a while but he is still deserving of it.
