Weird Al Yankovic
Singer / Comedian
Alfred Matthew "Weird Al" Yankovic was born October 23, 1959, in Downey, California, and raised in the town of Lynwood. He is an American singer-songwriter, music producer, accordionist, actor, comedian, writer, satirist, and parodist. Yankovic is known for his humorous songs that make light of popular culture and that often parody specific songs by contemporary musical acts. Since his first-aired comedy song in 1976, he had sold more than 12 million albums, recorded more than 150 parody and original songs, and has performed more than 1,000 live shows. His works have earned him three Grammy Awards among nine nominations, four gold records, and six platinum records in the United States. Released in June 2011, Yankovic completed his thirteenth studio album, entitled 'Alpocalypse', his first studio album since 'Straight Outta Lynwood'. The album contains the five songs from the previous 'Internet Leaks' digital download release, a polka medley called 'Polka Face', a song called 'TMZ' for which Bill Plympton created an animated music video, and five other new songs.
