Archive material and source history
Weird Al Yankovic started making parodies in the late 1970s, teaching himself accordion and recording his first single "Albuquerque" in 1976. He built a career out of taking popular songs and twisting them into something funny, like turning Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" into "Another One Rides the Bus" on his 1980 self-titled debut album.
His parodies span genres from pop to hip-hop, with songs like "Eat It" and "Fat" reworking Michael Jackson hits. In 2006, "White & Nerdy" became one of his biggest tracks, a take on Chamillionaire's "Ridin'" that poked fun at nerd culture with a catchy beat.
Over more than a dozen studio albums, Yankovic has kept at it without much fuss, sticking to a simple formula of humor and music that doesn't take itself too seriously.
