00:00 [CRASH]
00:03 Put it in.
00:04 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:08 I'm tired of people thinking I'm some kind of joke.
00:10 Your dad and I agreed it would be best if you just
00:13 stopped being who you are and doing the things you love.
00:17 My whole life, all I wanted--
00:19 I'm afraid we found your son at a polka party.
00:22 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:25 --is to make up new words to a song that already exists.
00:29 Oh, well, you should do that then.
00:31 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:32 My, my, my, my Sharona.
00:34 Woo!
00:35 My, my, my, my Sharona.
00:38 Oh, my little hungry one, hungry one,
00:41 open up a package of my bologna.
00:44 Dude, I've got chills.
00:48 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:51 Every once in a great while, I can spot a talent that I
00:56 know is the future of music.
01:00 But first, we've got to find you a stage name, Al Yankovic.
01:03 It's long.
01:04 It's hard to pronounce.
01:05 I'm just going to throw this out there, Weird Al Yankovic.
01:10 I love it.
01:11 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:13 I love Rocky Road.
01:15 The ones who go--
01:16 Weird Al has taken the world by storm.
01:21 Do I know you?
01:22 Madonna, I was wondering if you were going
01:24 to do a parody of my song, "Like a Virgin."
01:27 I'm curious, is that song autobiographical?
01:30 Yes.
01:33 Except for the fact that I've had a lot of sex.
01:36 Any one creative genius that doesn't have a checkered past
01:39 involving alcohol--
01:40 That's the medicine.
01:42 --and drugs.
01:43 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:45 I think Madonna's a bad influence on you.
01:47 What?
01:48 No offense.
01:51 I'm a train wreck.
01:53 My parents wrote me off.
01:55 I pushed away my band.
01:57 You're all just a bunch of normals.
01:58 I'm the weird one.
02:00 You've got to take care of yourself.
02:01 I saw in you something special, an artist with something
02:05 to give to the world.
02:08 In front of all the billions of people
02:10 watching around the world right now, all I want to say
02:14 is be as weird as you want to be.
02:17 Yeah!
02:17 You will never find true happiness.
02:23 So you can truly accept who you are.
02:27 Thank you.
02:28 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:31 Oh, Al, you can't smoke in here.
02:37 [GROANING]
02:40 [LAUGHING]
02:41 I totally deserve that.
02:42 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:45 (dramatic music)
02:48 [BLANK_AUDIO]
