'Weird Al' Yankovic talks about his biopic spoof, 'alpha-nerd' Daniel Radcliffe, and dealing with the 'Devil's squeezebox'
song for the last album. Instead of “Let It Go,” I was going to do “Make It So,” but then I did a Google search and found out that there already was a parody like that. That’s the problem with the YouTube age; there’s no idea that hasn’t been done before.that did not really happen to you but people will believe it because, “Hey, it’s in a movie,” what makes you happiest for someone to believe?AVC: You know it’s going to happen. How many people seeI know.
I’ve been asking Roku about this, and so far, they have been against releasing any physical media. I’m going to keep pushing them. This needs to be out on Blu-ray, a nice 4k Blu-ray. Obviously, they want this exclusively on the Roku Channel. That was the whole reason why they were making it. Again, they have said that this is not going to happen, but I’m going to keep pushing. Hopefully at some point, there will be a Blu-ray.
AVC: You’ve had huge hits. You’ve written bestselling books. You’ve played sold-out concerts featuring your parody songs and sold-out concerts with your original songs. And now you’ve made a biopic parody. What’s the next challenge?I don’t think there’s anything I’m itching to try. I feel very fortunate I’ve been able to do everything in my life I’ve ever wanted to do. I’d like to do more of what I’ve been doing. If this movie does well, maybe I’ll get an opportunity to do more movies.
