Weird Al: Seriously

weird al: seriously

From his love of accordions and Hawaiian print shirts to his popular puns and trademark dance moves, “Weird Al” Yankovic of Local 47 (Los Angeles, CA) has made a 40-year career out of making people laugh. In this book, for the first time, the parodies, original compositions, and polka medleys of the Weird Al universe receive attention through interviews with Yankovic himself. Lily Hirsch reveals that Yankovic’s jests have always had a deeper meaning, addressing such topics as bullying, celebrity, and racial and gender stereotypes.
