He performed here in Wilmington the other day and honestly, didn't think much of it at first but had a chance to see it.
I walked away a HUGE Weird Al Yankovic fan. If you have a chance to see this guy in concert - GO!! And take your kids because it's a kid friendly show but something adults can enjoy just as much.
It wasn't just that he did his series of classic hits like 'I Lost on Jeopardy' and 'Eat it' but he has some great new songs out there too like 'Word Crimes' (a much improved version of Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines') and 'Foil' (based on Lorde's 'Royal'), but he performed all these hits in costume too! Between songs there would be a 5 minute bit of Yankovic related videos and then he'd do the next set of songs.
I not only laughed my ass off but I was dancing too!
Here are some videos of his recent songs
