Alfred Matthew "Weird Al" Yankovic (born 23 October 23 1959 in Downey, California, USA) is an American comedy musician, writer, and actor. He is best known for writing and performing comedy songs that often parody specific songs by contemporary musicians. He also performs original songs that are style pastiches of the work of other acts, as well as polka medleys of several popular songs, most of which feature his trademark accordion.
So far Al has released fourteen studio albums. He also starred in the 1989 film UHF and had minor roles and cameos in various other films such as The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1987) and its two sequels (1991 and 1994), Spy Hard (1996), and Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020).
Al signed a CD cover for me after his concert at the O2 ABC in Glasgow on 9 October 2015.
