Description
Weird Al Yankovic's career has been built on making us laugh with his unique blend of music and comedy. This book offers a fresh take on his life and work, revealing the depth behind his jests.
Through original interviews, Weird Al's parodies, original compositions, and polka medleys are given their due respect, showing that funny music is more than just light entertainment. Lily Hirsch explores how Yankovic's humour has tackled topics such as bullying, celebrity, and stereotypes, making this book an insightful look at a true comedic and musical genius.
With his good-guy charm still intact, Weird Al remains unapologetically himself, and this book is the perfect opportunity to revel in his 40-year career, full of mischief and wisdom.
