Funny music is often dismissed as light and irrelevant, but Weird Al” Yankovic’s fourteen successful studio albums prove there is a lot more going on than his reputation suggests.
Music Professor Lily Hirsch dives deeper into the world of the iconic man who has made a career out of making us laugh. Hirsch weaves together her interviews with the prince of parody himself and reveals the deeper meaning of Yankovic’s jests, addressing such topics as bullying, celebrity, and racial and gender stereotypes.
This new edition celebrates Yankovic’s vast influence on musicians, comedians, and performing artists as well as what the man has meant to fans—in a time of uncertainty, Yankovic has served as a much-needed bright spot for many.
From his love of accordions and Hawaiian print shirts to his popular puns and trademark dance moves, Yankovic remains unapologetically and unmistakably himself. Reveling in the mischief and wisdom of Yankovic’s forty-year career, this book is a behind-the-scenes tour of the comedic and musical genius behind the hit songs “Dare to Be Stupid,” “Eat It,” “Like a Surgeon,” and “Amish Paradise.”
