Weird Al Yankovic - Living Comedy God
Here’s a great interview from the land down under. Listen to Maynard ask Al the secret to his success, the dog on the cover for “Straight Outta Lynwood”, family Christmas cards, the rumble with Atlantic Records, William Shatner, parodies, how he picks songs for his polkas, and much much more.

I couldn’t remember if you had an e-mail address for this site, so this is the best way to contact you. Are you going to put “I Will Comply” in your lyrics section?
I Will Comply
by Al Yankovic
The Weird Al Show
Must Cracked Kiddie TV
Why This The short-lived (but long-loved) CBS
Saturday-morning series — featured Al as a wacky
inventor who lives in a cave — arrives on DVD Aug. 15.
To mark the occasion, EW asked Al to pen a parody
song — which he did, albeit very reluctantly.
Lyrics:
At first I was aghast, I was mortified
When Entertainment Weekly made me swallow my pride
They made it clear that unless I
Wrote them some lame parody
There wouldn’t be
A piece on my new DVD
I tried to make… them understand
I am an artist, you can’t make me crank this stuff out on demand!
I am not your monkey boy
And you are not the boss of me
But if I have to stroke your egos
For some cheap publicity
I’ll write this song… under duress
Just goes to show ya… extortion really works, I guess
You think I’d blow them off and kiss that plug goodbye?
Did you think I’d say no… ’cause I’m such a principled guy?
Oh no, not I
I will comply
Although frankly, I would rather jam a needle in my eye
Can’t believe I’d sink this low
To promote my lousy show
Yeah, I’ll comply
I will comply
Oy vey
