Weird Al Yankovic is better than ever. Despite the years of performing his hilarious hits, Weird Al may be doing better work than ever. “White And Nerdy” propelled Al to the top ten, and it looks as though he’s not stopping any time soon. Amazingly, Alpocalypse is Weird Al’s 13th full length album, and it marks his 32nd year of performing in show business. PopMatters has a great Weird Al interview; if you don’t want to read it, how about just scrolling down a little and feasting your beady little eyes on the majesty that is Weird Al’s face on a hot girl’s body in his brand new, incredible video for “Perform This Way.”

The fact that it is weird and hilarious is a bonus; I was afraid that Lady Gaga’s riff with Weird Al would cause the song to disappear into Al’s live sets and never make it to a CD. Still, it’s great to see they were able to clear up the confusion, especially since the message of Lady Gaga and the message of Weird Al is to embrace your weirdness and the reasons why you’re different! The Julliard-educated piano prodigy and the teenage accordion phenomenon are more alike than they are different; it’s glad they’re able to come to terms and run with it.
