I have listened to Weird Al Yankovic's music since I was a young teenager and still to this day at 35 years old am still entertained by his sense of humor and incredible music creativity. Below you will find a short Biography of Weird Al and my top 10 list of You Tube Music Videos that make me laugh still to this day.Al Yankovic is known for his humorous songs that make light of popular culture and that parody specific songs by contemporary musical acts. Since receiving his first accordion lesson a day before his seventh birthday, he has sold more than 12 million albums and recorded more than 150 parody and original songs. His works have earned him three Grammy Awards amongst nine nominations, three gold records, and five platinum records in the U.S. Yankovic's first Top 10 Billboard album and single were both released in 2006, nearly three decades into his career. The Album was titled "STRAIGHT OUTTA LYNWOOD" and the son on the album was titled "White and Nerdy". In addition to recording his albums, Yankovic has written and starred in his own movie (UHF) and television show, directed music videos for himself and other artists including Ben Folds and Hanson, and has made guest appearances in television shows such as The Simpsons, Behind the Music, Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, and RobotChicken.
