That's her anniversary, so I have to remember that.

But he happened to be in the studio, and I got this new song, another one, Rides the Bus.

Does anybody want to bang on my accordion case for percussion?

He said, I'm a drummer.

Oh, you got the job.

And 46 years later, he still got the job.

It's kind of crazy because when I first started out, nobody wanted to sign me to a record deal because they thought, oh, novelty music, right?

The Daily Show: Ears Edition

It's like the domain of one-hit wonders.

The Daily Show: Ears Edition

And we want artists that are going to have a career and going to stick around for a while.

The Daily Show: Ears Edition

So I'm sort of a novelty dinosaur.

I've bucked the odds.

You've bucked everybody.

There's no one that's been around for this long.

Yeah, the internet is sort of like the Wild West, you know, sort of people just doing things without permission and hope they don't get caught kind of thing.

The Daily Show: Ears Edition

Yeah, and legally, I've always said it's a gray area.

The Daily Show: Ears Edition
$1.8 Billion Slush Fund Has J6ers Playing Victim & Trump Creeps on Coast Guard Grad | “Weird Al” Yankovic

I could get away with doing a lot of these things.

The Daily Show: Ears Edition
$1.8 Billion Slush Fund Has J6ers Playing Victim & Trump Creeps on Coast Guard Grad | “Weird Al” Yankovic

But I just want to respect the artists and the songwriters and make sure they're in on the joke.

And I don't want to step on anybody's toes that way.
