"Weird Al" Yankovic (born Alfred Matthew Yankovic on October 23, 1959) is a god among men.
A multi-Grammy-winning musician for over twenty years, "Weird Al" is famous for his parodies of popular songs, as well as "style parodies" that emulate specific acts' musical styles.

He has produced and starred in numerous specials on MTV and VH1, a cult-hit movie UHF, and his own one-season Saturday morning TV show.
