So without further ado, I proudly present all 45 official “Weird Al” music videos. Nowadays seeing a music video on MTV is a rarity but thanks to Youtube (and Al!), all his videos are available online. His most recent album “Alpocalypse” was the first to have a music video for every single track, almost all of which were animated. As a kid who didn’t fit in, I couldn’t relate to the cool and popular version, but I could relate to Al’s.Īl started directing most of his videos in the 90s, but more recently he’s switched over to using animation to make his videos. But Al’s more than a musical chameleon, he takes what’s popular and makes it accessible to the people who aren’t. By becoming Kurt Cobain or Lady Gaga, he tears down the artifice of celebrity and the superficiality of mainstream music. Part of the appeal of Al’s videos is seeing him slip into the roles of the artists he’s parodying.
