Weird Al Yankovic still parodies songs
The long curls and Hawaiian shirts remain the visual trademarks of the 52-year-old architecture degree-holding Cal Poly grad, and he'll still strap on the accordion for a large chunk of the
MODESTO, Calif. — For 35 years, listeners to Weird Al Yankovic have focused on his words.
Of course, that is the stock in trade for every performer whose livelihood is based on putting new words to already-successful melodies and styles, and Yankovic is the all-time undisputed champion of that sparsely populated genre.
The guy has put together a fierce backing band. Yankovic's recordings have sold more copies than any other comedy act in history.
But as Yankovic's craft has developed from the early accordion-based song parodies, through his full cinematic years on MTV and into the current stage of his career, his clever words have been paired with a equally strong force.

show.
But as he has displayed since his early albums and continues in his 13th studio effort, the June release "Alpocalypse," the full Weird song treatment includes an uncanny reproduction of the original music. In many ways, when Yankovic takes over a song, it's more of a musical tribute than many pure "tribute" bands have the chons to muster.
"We put a lot of attention to those musical details and the band knows the drill, that we're trying to emulate the music as closely as possible," Yankovic said in a phone interview.
"The joke now is to sucker the people into thinking they're hearing the original song, before taking a left-hand turn. We get complements from the bands and artists about the way we're able to pick their songs apart, even picking up the nuances they threw into their recordings. We duplicate that exact sound the best we can."
