Weird Al has lasted a long, long,
long time. He's been around since the early 80s. That's longer then most "serious" artists, much less a parody artist like Weird Al. Whether or not you like him you can't deny that he's made quite the name for himself, being the first person you think of when you think "musical parody".
I like Weird Al, his stuff from the early 90s is some of my favorites of his. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m7SldTq8CY.
Check out this song off his new album

So what do you guys think of Al?
