Ryan Krzak (YouTube: RWappin), the creator of popular fan music videos for the Weird Al tracks “Albuquerque” and “Everything You Know is Wrong,” was hired by Al to animate the “Uptown Funk” segment of his latest release, “Polkamania!.” That segment starts at 2:24.
This is similar to how Al liked Jarrett Heather’s “Shop Vac” video, and asked him to animate his track “Word Crimes”. Jarrett Heather, incidentally, is also in this latest video. He animates the “W.A.P.” segment.
The Weird Al-fan dynamic is something more wholesome than can be described. There’s a genuine love there.

Al remanes one of the few celebrities I’d actually want to hang out with, would be really cool of there was some sort of make a wish foundation things for non terminal adults, maybe something to do with billionaire tax money the make a wish lottery
weird al is one of the few lawful good musicians.
lawful good? surely you mean chaotic good?
He asks for permission from the original artist before parodying a song. If that doesn’t qualify as lawful I don’t know what does.
Even though legally, he doesn’t need permission. That’s respectable.
isn’t fair use for parodying the copyrighted work itself?
Al is fucking magical.
The illusion works surprisingly well, and he breaks it so nonchalantly.
One of my favorite songs of all time, and I don’t know why…
Harvey from a decade and a half ago.
Also, this version is friggin hilarious.
I like how careful and gentle he was with the hamster.
He’s the best
Lol. Water drip, donkey, cat.
Oh shit he’s doing a parody of Uptown Funk? Hell yeah!
