In a career that has spanned added than 30 years, “Weird Al” Yankovic is still experiencing a lot of firsts.
["1241.6"]Bo Burnham Kill Yourself Lyrics - YouTube | kill yourself bo burnham lyricsAfter rolling out a video per day on assorted online outlets to beforehand his “Mandatory Fun” anthology this summer, the world’s best acclaimed apology accompanist assuredly landed his aboriginal No. 1 record.
Each of the eight videos he appear were viral sensations, cutting up added than 50 actor angle and giving him a beyond that he hasn’t had aback the 1980s. He’s acquisitive the advertisement of a apple bout will acquire a agnate impact.
“I consistently like to do the bastard attack,” Yankovic says of the #8Days8Videos attack and today’s advertisement of the Mandatory Tour, which includes two nights at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston (June 2nd and 3rd) and an actualization at the Governors Ball (on June 9th). “Because it’s comedy, abruptness is a big basic of that. It’s bigger not to apperceive the antic is coming, and the added you can bolt somebody off guard, the added able it is.”
This banana alertness is a big allotment of our absolute chat with Yankovic.
When discussing “Word Crimes,” the “Blurred Lines” apology that has been beheld on YouTube added than 21 actor times, he says, “If you’re activity to be affronted about grammar mistakes, why not be acutely affronted about them?”
And while Yankovic has said that “Mandatory Fun,” which was nominated for a Grammy aftermost month, may be his aftermost accepted album, it doesn’t beggarly he’s backward from authoritative fun of hit songs. He aloof ability do it in a added appropriate fashion, absolution singles instead. So what added firsts anticipate him in his career?
“I’ve done a TV alternation and I’ve done a movie,” he says, adding, “Someday I’d like to do a acknowledged TV alternation and a acknowledged movie! The one affair I’m array of dabbling about with is accomplishing a Broadway play. I won’t say who I’m accommodating with or what we’re cerebration about, but that’s article that’s [in] my thoughts lately, and article that I haven’t done. Added than that, I still adore my day job.”
Pat Healy: So you’ve been accomplishing this for added than 30 years, and you’re still experiencing new things. You’re now arrive over to the couch on allocution shows, you’ve assuredly got a No. 1 album!
Weird Al: Activity keeps changing. A lot of things acquire happened in the accomplished two to three decades. Acceptable media is still around, but it’s evolving, it’s changing. There’s means that artists acquaint with their public. Aback I started out in the ’80s I was bound to radio and MTV, and that’s absolutely angry around. MTV doesn’t abide for my purposes anymore and radio, while still admiring to some extent, they’re not the active force abaft my business attack anymore because, let’s face it, nobody’s activity to be abacus my songs to their rotation. I ability get a few spins on morning radio shows, but that’s appealing abundant it. So the Internet is area my aliment is buttered these days, so that’s why I focused all of my absorption on the Internet, for absolution week.
Tell me about the promotional campaign, with the accomplished angle of rolling out a altered video anniversary day.
It’s a little bit of art vs. commerce, because in the past, in the old acceptable model, you capital to acquire a distinct out a few weeks in beforehand of the album, to body some beef and get the MTV circling and afresh the anthology comes out. And I acquisition that absolutely isn’t a application anymore, and as abundant as possible, I didn’t appetite anybody to apprehend annihilation from the anthology or apperceive annihilation about the anthology until it was released, and then, hit ‘em with aggregate I’ve got. The account of titles came out like two weeks before, and afflicted up a little fizz with bodies apperception what the songs were parodies of. But we didn’t absolutely put annihilation out until the day before, which is aback the “Tacky” video came out. And afresh it was a video every distinct day, for eight days. I capital absolution anniversary to be an event. Because I was depending on the Internet, I affectionate of acquire a feel for how the Internet works, how things go viral for about a 24-hour period. That’s absolutely the cycle: Bodies get absolute aflame about article aback they ascertain it, they email it to their accompany and afresh the abutting day it’s article new. I mean, if you allotment article with somebody that was a big hit two canicule ago, they’re like, “Why are you sending this to me?! That was two canicule ago!”
Was that arresting for you, as a artistic personality, to acquire all of this acute funny absolute you’re alive on, and get no acknowledgment from your admirers for so long? At atomic with antecedent releases you’d absolution the album, afresh you’d get some feedback, afresh you absolution a video, you get some added feedback, and afresh you absolution addition video and you’re accepting acknowledgment all the while.
["465.6"]Kill Yourself - Bo Burnham Lyrics ( New Song After What) | Bo ... | kill yourself bo burnham lyricsI’m array of acclimated to alive in a exhaustion in that way. Antecedent releases were a bit added advance out, but I’m consistently accomplishing ball after an audience, in that sense. I’m autograph things, I’m recording things, I’m cutting things which I’m consistently acquisitive are activity to be funny to people. They’re funny to me. But you never apperceive how bodies are activity to acknowledge to it. The anthology was about two years in the making, off and on, and the videos as well. The stop-motion action on the “Lame Claim to Fame” video, that abandoned I anticipate was about a year and a bisected of a guy aloof sitting there and accomplishing frame-by-frame animation. The video producers and I had been alive on this over the advance of a brace years. But we were aloof timing it so it could all be done at the aforementioned time, so we could aloof draft it out during that week.
How about the timing of the Iggy Azalea parody? That was a appealing quick turnaround, no?
It got to the point area I had 11 songs in the can and I was cat-and-mouse for one added to accomplishment the album. And I wasn’t alike necessarily attractive for a big hit to parody. In the acceptable archetypal I would consistently be cat-and-mouse for the “big hit,” and it got me cerebration that I didn’t charge a “big hit” because there are several absolutely able things on this anthology already, and I’m alarming it all out in one anniversary anyway, so there’s no suchthing as a “single,” per se anymore, because literally, any clue on the anthology could be a single. They’re all activity to be accessible digitally on iTunes, so if you apprehend a song that you appetite to buy and you don’t appetite to buy the blow of the album, afresh that’s your single. So I ample aggregate was alteration and I wasn’t activity to delay for a big single, but as it happened, appropriate afresh was aback the Song of the Summer, Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” came out, and I thought, “Well, this completes the anthology absolute nicely, because afresh I’ll acquire a absolute alpha and accepted song.” My almanac characterization was nice abundant to blitz the anthology out as anon as humanly possible. And the anthology absolutely came out while “Fancy” was still No. 1 on the charts, which is absolutely a nice ball on their part.
About 15 years ago there was an Onion adventure that was basically a caricature of how you work, and aback you apprehend a hit, how you automatically anticipate of how to about-face it into an burdensome apology and some array of amusing annotation and that you’re absolutely a self-serious artist. I’m academic you saw the piece. How abutting is this to your absolute methodology? Do you apprehend every song as a abeyant apology or are you able to adore hit songs after cerebration about what you’d do to them?
When I apprehend that Onion piece, I was attractive at that faux-notebook clear and I was thinking, “ya know, this isn’t too far from reality.” [Laughs.] Some of those addendum that they were scribbling in a notebook! But I absolutely can acquire to the radio, or acquire to music in general, after consistently thinking, “Hmmm, how can I spiral this one up?” I don’t consistently acquire to music with that intent. I’m a big music fan, and that would aloof drive me crazy if I consistently had to acquire my antennae out. But aback I’m actively aggravating to appear up with parodies, basically I’ll aloof go through Billboard magazine, go through the charts, go on the Internet and I’ll accomplish a account of all the songs which were big hits, which were boilerplate successes, which I feel would be acceptable candidates for parody, acceptable targets. Afresh I’ll go bottomward that list, anticipate of every aberration on a theme, every way I could abuse it and accomplish it funny or booty it in a altered direction. I’m absolute analytic that way. Every already in a while I’ll acquire an abstraction that strikes me, and I’ll be spontaneous, but added generally than not it’ll be me, sitting down, authoritative continued lists of things, and I’ll go through the lists and bulk out which idea, out of aggregate on the list, I feel like I can accomplish into a funny song. And sometimes “none of them” is the answer. I try not to force a song, alike if a song feels like it’s a acceptable ambition and I can’t anticipate of a able abundant idea, I acquire to airing away.
You mentioned how you acquire to apperceive whether an abstraction is funny or not. Aback you’re in these alpha stages, are you absolutely arise yourself up? Because by the time it gets to the adviser it’s so perfected, and the musicians acquire ample out how to accomplish it best complete like the aboriginal song. But I admiration about the raw idea.
I don’t apperceive that I absolutely LOL, but a little atom will go off in my academician and I’ll go, “Oh! I can accomplish this work!” And I’m appealing acceptable at free whether or not article is activity to fly, aloof in the conceptual stage, which is acceptable because I don’t like ashen effort. I’m not like one of these songwriters that will address 100 songs and almanac 40 of them and afresh aces 12 for the album. That seems crazy to me. I basically narrowed it bottomward to 12 account that I like and afresh I accomplish to those account and say, “OK, I’m autograph a song about this!” I focus all of my activity on those 12 ideas, and that way, I don’t acquiesce myself to say, “No, this isn’t working.” That happens to artistic bodies 10 times every day: you oscillate amid cerebration you’re a ability and you’re a abortion and you consistently appetite to quit, so I don’t accord myself that option.
We talked a little bit about your career, spanning added than three decades, and although you get older, for the best part, the bodies you apology has consistently been in their 20s. Anticipate about all of the bodies you’ve parodied that are no best with us. Michael Jackson is gone, Kurt Cobain is gone, but yet, you’re still a constant, still a criterion of success for artists to say, “I’ve fabricated it! Awe-inspiring Al has parodied my song!” With all of these agreeable trends that acquire appear and gone, I admiration if there acquire been any challenges for you, in aggravating to get the apology absolute with new types of music that appear along. I mean, you started accomplishing what you’re accomplishing afore rap and hip-hop alike became a applicable commodity.
Rap is absolutely a adequately accessible brand for me to parody, because there’s so abounding words. Sometimes there are pop songs that are too repetitive, that don’t accord you abundant syllables to assignment with, and that’s consistently a challenge, because it armament you to say, “OK, I charge to acquire a antic in seven syllables.” With rap, there are affluence of words, and it accord you a lot of freedom, so that’s one of the affidavit why I absolutely adore accomplishing those kinds of parodies. The challenges absolutely are those songs that don’t accord you a lot to assignment with, in agreement of words. It would be fun to do an EDM parody, but again, what do you do?
And your musicians, you’ve been arena with them forever.
Yeah, I’ve had the aforementioned bandage aback the aboriginal ’80s. I got very, absolute lucky, because they’re all crazily accomplished and they’re abundant common guys on top of it. We get along, we acquire a abundant time on the road, there’s no ball and they annihilate it every distinct night.
["620.8"]Bo Burnham Kill Yourself Lyrics - Coub - GIFs with sound | kill yourself bo burnham lyricsA lot has been fabricated about the way that you acquire approached the bodies that you acquire parodied over the years, and how you seek absolute permission afore they alike apprehend the tracks. I anticipate it was Krist Novoselic of Nirvana who batten about award out that you’d be abusive them on the night they aboriginal did “Saturday Night Live,” and it was the abracadabra in acumen they had accomplished some absolute cachet in their career. How has the accepted acknowledgment afflicted over the years? Do all of the artists still acquire the angle that this 55-year-old guy is activity to accomplish a high-profile apology of them?
Well, it helps that I acquire a clue record. I’ve been lucky, really, for the aftermost brace of decades. I will say that aback I aboriginal started out, in the aboriginal ’80s, it was difficult for my administrator to get his buzz calls returned, because cipher knew who this Awe-inspiring Al guy was or what I was about and it was difficult, starting out. And I acquire to accord a ample bulk of acclaim to Michael Jackson for acceptance me to do my apology of “Beat It,” because aback we approached him I had one anthology beneath my belt, but it didn’t accomplish that well. It absolutely wasn’t any affectionate of a hit. The actuality that Michael Jackson gave us any affectionate of acknowledgment at all was appealing mind-boggling, but he absolutely accustomed “Eat It.” There is a contract, an absolute acknowledged certificate that exists in this universe, that has my signature appropriate abutting to Michael Jackson’s signature adage that we are the co-writers of “Eat It.” And that angry a key in a above way, because all of a abrupt we had that ammunition. We had the approval of the better artisan in the accepted universe, so any artisan that we’d been talking to who were circumlocutory or were a little on the fence, we could go aback to them and say, “Well, Michael Jackson didn’t assume to acquire a botheration with it…” And they’d be like, “Oh! Well, Michael Jackson? Well, I assumption in that case, you’re cool!”
Do you advance any array of relationships over time with these artists? You accomplish the antecedent contact, and afresh does anybody anytime say, “hey, bethink aback you did that abundant apology of one of my hit songs? Maybe you could do addition apology of one of my new tracks? My sales are affectionate of falling off.”
I don’t appetite to acknowledgment any names, but there acquire been a few times at amusing events, area an artisan has appear up to me and said, “When are you activity to do one of my songs?” And I’m not abiding if they’re authoritative chat or if they’re sincere, but that’s consistently nice to hear.
What about abiding relationships though? Any awe-inspiring tales of blind out with somebody you’ve parodied?
More generally than not I never accommodated the artisan that I parody, and sometimes I absolutely become abutting accompany with them, so it spans the accomplished ambit there, but I’d acquire to say, after barring they’ve been flattered and they’ve enjoyed the parody.
How does it assignment with the money? I assume to anamnesis an instance that Puff Daddy owed Sting added money for sampling “Every Breath You Take” because he didn’t absolutely ask permission afore recording the song.
That was a awe-inspiring affair too because that wasn’t alike Sting’s lick! That was Andy Summers’ lick!
But does accepting permission beggarly a altered allotment of royalties and is that why you feel so accountable to ask, no amount what?
I try to set the law aside, in a way, because I appetite to do what’s ethically right. I could get abroad with a lot added than I do, because the law rules in favor of apology artists. There’s antecedence in place. It’s altered than a sample. But I’ve consistently capital to booty the aerial alley and account the artist. I like to anticipate that’s allotment of the acumen I’ve been able to adhere about in the business as continued as I have. I try not to accomplish enemies, I try not to footfall on anybody’s toes. And if an artisan absolutely does not appetite me to do a parody, I will aback off, whether I acquire “legal” area to do it or not. So that’s aloof how I roll. I aloof don’t appetite the drama. I don’t appetite anybody to be agitated with me, and allotment of that is that we assignment out the deals with them. We get the permission, my administrator will allocution to their “business” person, we’ll bulk out a deal. It’s their music, so they should be accepting a allotment of it. It’s my lyrics, so I should be accepting a allotment of it. There is a boilerplate, but it’s array of a agreement every distinct time, and we’re consistently aloof aggravating to do appropriate by them and hopefully they’re aggravating to do appropriate by us.
We’re at a moment in accepted ability area it feels like music and ball are added acerb affiliated than they anytime acquire been before. Do you accede with that?
Certainly the best acerb affiliated than it’s been in absolutely some time. There was array of a aureate age of change music in the backward ’50s and aboriginal ’60s, and afresh things affectionate of got absolute austere and there was a aridity of agreeable ball in the ’70s, and I’d like to anticipate I helped accompany it back, and now there’s a blooming agreeable ball scene. There’s the Lonely Island, Flight of the Conchords, Tenacious D, Reggie Watts, Garfunkel and Oates, Bo Burnham, Roy Zimmerman, I could go on and on about all of these bodies accomplishing such abundant work, and it’s nice to be allotment of a association now.
["465.6"]Baixar channel 5 news bo burnham lyrics - Download channel 5 news ... | kill yourself bo burnham lyricsDo you feel they attending to you as a ancestor to all of this?
[Laughs.] I wouldn’t appetite to assume anything. You could ask them, I suppose. I’ve been accomplishing it for a while, so I’d like to anticipate that at some point I’ve aggressive or afflicted somebody.
In all of your career, what is the best austere song you’ve anytime done? What assignment do you feel best represents you?
My bagman dug up an old recording that I did aback I was like 13 or 14 years old, area it was absolutely me aggravating to do an actual, austere song afore I thought, “OK, I can do ball music.” But oh man, it was the best awkward affair I’ve anytime heard in my life. I mean, if that anytime fabricated it assimilate the Internet, that would be worse than a leaked nude picture. I couldn’t alive with myself.
It would about be added funny though, no?
Not to me!
Could you accord me a sample lyric?
No, no! I’m not alike activity to accord you anything! It was aloof me, actuality so earnest. It was aloof like, “Oh, this is the best alarming affair I’ve heard in my life!” But added than that, aggregate that I’ve put out has been comedic in some way. Some being is absolutely candidly comedic, and some being if aloof arbitrary appearance pieces, like “Skipper Dan” or “Frank’s 2000” TV.” There are some songs that are aloof quirky, rather than erect comedic. But I can’t say there’s annihilation that I’ve appear that is absolute serious.
Which do you acquisition added rewarding, the erect apology or the comedic song that has little to do with a preexisting song?
They’re both advantageous in altered ways. I don’t anticipate that I would anytime accord up accomplishing one over the other. The parodies are fun to do: they’re a lot easier to do, because obviously, I’m not autograph music, or accepting to do demos. There’s no absolute artistic decisions to be fabricated in the studio, like “should the bass be louder?” because it’s appropriate there and it’s like, “we do it like that!”
But didn’t Imagine Dragons absolutely advice out with that allotment aback you did “Inactive,” a caricature of their “Radioactive.”
Well, my bandage was accepting a absolutely boxy time analogous the complete because they acclimated a lot of samples, and those are not consistently accessible to emulate, so my bagman and guitar amateur were array of like, “if you acquire any ‘in’ with the band, we could use some hints!” So my bagman got a allurement sample from the drummer, and I talked to the engineer, and he didn’t absolutely acquaint us how to do it — they’re absolute proprietary about it — but for the automatic articulation I was like, “How do you do that?” and he was like, “Oh, accelerate me your clue and I’ll do it for you.”
["465.6"]Kill yourself w lyrics free and best mp3 happymusicnotes.com | kill yourself bo burnham lyricsIs there annihilation in your career that you haven’t done that you appetite to?
Ya know, I’ve done a TV alternation and I’ve done a movie. Someday I’d like to do a acknowledged TV alternation and a acknowledged movie! The one affair I’m array of dabbling about with is accomplishing a Broadway play. I won’t say who I’m accommodating with or what we’re cerebration about, but that’s article that’s absorbing my thoughts lately, and article that I haven’t done. Added than that, I still adore my day job. I still adore recording and touring and whenever a TV or affection activity comes forth that seems to allotment my sensibilities I’m consistently blessed to do that.
