Weird Al's Real Life Might Be Weirder Than His Fake Movie (Are You Sh!#ing Me)
The real story of Weird Al is stranger than his fake biopic. The accordion came from a traveling salesman and a polka name coincidence. His record deal came from the band he parodied. "Amish Paradise" dropped without Coolio's permission due to a miscommunication nobody can fully explain — including Weird Al. And when Prince's management sent him a telegram telling him not to make eye contact at the American Music Awards — Weird Al sent one right back. 27% of the movie is true.The 27% is unhinged.Are you sh!#ing me?Cheers!#AYSM #aysmpodcast #SILWARR #brett #WeirdAl #WeirdAlYankovic #AmishParadise #Coolio #Prince #MusicHistory #FunnyHistory #TrueStories #ComedyPodcast #BehindTheMusic #ParodyKing
