#weirdalyankovic — Public Fediverse posts

Die Welt braucht grundsätzlich viel mehr Polka! Deshalb kommt dieser Film eigentlich immer genau zur richtigen Zeit. Zur Rettung meiner (musikalischen) mentalen Gesundheit bleibt mir doch sonst nur „Schwanensee“ auf ARTE, Pop auf 3Sat – oder eben Weird Al und sein Akkordeon in der ARD-Mediathek. Ich bin so alt, ich kann das feiern! (ARD, Wh.)

On this day 35 years ago Nirvana shot the video for ’Smells Like Teen Spirit’.

And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it’s hard to find
Oh well, whatever, never mind

Weird Al Yankovic, Dare To Be Stupid, 1985 on Scotti Bros.

This was the third studio LP from Weird Al, produced by Rick Derringer. Mixture of paradoes and “style parodies” which don’t copy specific songs but a generalized look and feel – like “Dare to be Stupid” which is in the style of Devo.

Apparently he approached Prince about doing a parody of “When Doves Cry” but Prince refused. (Yankovic could do these without permission but prefers to only do them with the participation of the originating artist). I do wish Prince had consented.

My copy, via Beatnick Records in Montréal Québec, is a Canadian pressing (Don Mills Ontario plant) manufactured and distributed by CBS Records Canada Ltd / CBS Disques Canada Ltée.
