My process for the parodies is that I get an idea for a song and then get approval from the artist and then go in and record it and probably try to get it out as soon as possible.

People that were a little nerdy in high school would look up to me and know it gets better.

One of the hardest things I've had to deal with in my career is keeping my material topical even though I only release albums every three or four years.

Right now I'm listening to a lot of Top 40 music, because THAT'S MY JOB.

Ever since the day you left me, I've been so miserable, my dear. I feel almost as bad as I did when you were still here.

Nows the time to go for all the gusto you can grab. You'll have plenty of time to be low-key when you're laid out on the slab.

At this point I've got a bit of a track record. So people realize that when 'Weird Al' wants to go parody, it's not meant to make them look bad... it's meant to be a tribute.
