Weird Al Yankovic

I mean, I had more fun every Saturday night doing the Weird Al show on my campus radio show. I looked forward to that. That's what I lived for. And the rest of the week in the architecture lab, that was just like, just get me to Saturday night.

You know, I don't know. I was always good in school. I worked really hard at my studies. That meant a lot to me. I was the valedictorian in my high school, straight A's all the way through. And, you know, I think my parents appreciated that, but it was a personal point of pride. I just, you know, I knew I was good at it and I kind of wanted to be the best at it.

And also, it was me trying to be the best version of me that I could and express that through being a good student.

When I first started out, I mean, literally, I was just, you know, a kid sending songs to Dr. Demento as a teenager. You know, I didn't think, oh, I should call up Queen and see what they think of this parody. And in fact, that got us into a little bit of trouble because, you know, after Another One Rides the Bus became a big hit on the Dr. Demento show, we got a call from Queen's lawyer saying...

You know, you probably should have asked us about this or run this by us. And thankfully, they had a good enough sense of humor that they didn't sue me or anything like that. They just, you know, finished up the paperwork and said, OK, now it's legal. So it was a little shaky in the beginning because I just didn't know how to do it.

And then by the time I was doing my second album, I wanted to do Eat It. But I thought, you know, Michael Jackson is the biggest artist in the universe and there's no way he's going to. you know, agreed to co-writing a song with this, you know, idiot kid. But word got to him and he approved it. And so now there's a contract with my signature next to his saying that we are the co-writers of Eat It.
