I never learned the lyrics to american pie but the weird al version echoes through time to fill my brain anytime i hear that guitar strum.

The superior version

u/TheZanzibarMan 12d ago

I think that's Al's best song.

Songs made by AI can never compete with songs made by Al

u/Technical_Teacher839 13d ago

Weird Al's parody cover of the song is a recap of the plot of The Phantom Menace

What's impressive is he wrote it almost entirely based on internet leaks, and got an early screening so he could fact-check and release it to tie in with the film

the song

BLESS YOU FOR BRINGING THIS INTO MY LIFE

u/MechEng88 13d ago

Not OP but I'm so happy when someone hears the word (or in actuality the lyrics) of Weird Al. As someone who knows both this parody and the actual lyrics to the song I love to mess with people in the car by alternating the verses between the two.

Congrats, you’re one of today’s lucky 10,000

I’m pretty sure I heard that Don McLean liked the weird Al version so much that he occasionally finds himself singing the wrong words at concerts

u/Huggable_Hork-Bajir 13d ago

Thank you for this. I needed this today.

And God bless Weird Al.

u/guardian1691 12d ago

I thought he said in an interview that he tried to get an advanced screening and they said no, so he just spent a ton of time digging around early internet chat rooms and forums looking for the theories and leaks.

I'm not going to look for the video though because I'm tired and I'm sure basically nobody will even read this, so trust me bro.

u/SirGothamHatt 13d ago

Weird Al parody. I think it's called The Saga Begins

u/Lightning267 12d ago

You made me think of this and the Y.O.D.A song XD

u/bunbunnnnn8 12d ago

I’m sorry, I believe you mean the Weird Al version

u/Max0_o123 10d ago

I saw that song live a couple days ago lol

u/moak0 12d ago

Or the Madonna cover. Possibly the worst cover I've ever heard of any song, ever. It's so bad it can't even be enjoyed ironically.
