Archive material and source history

Alfred Matthew Yankovic started recording parodies as a teenager with an accordion and tape recorder. His first album came out in 1979, and he's been at it ever since with a consistent band that includes bassist Steve Jay, drummer Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz, and keyboardist Jim "Kimo" West.

His parodies cover everything from pop to polka, with songs like "Alimony" and "Gump" showing his range.

Yankovic has put out 14 studio albums, including "Dare to Be Stupid," "Bad Hair Day," and "Mandatory Fun." He's worked with artists from Coolio to Michael Jackson, but his humor stays grounded in everyday absurdities rather than grand statements.
