[extropy-chat] weird al takes on rap

[Amara Graps]

This music video is brilliant! Each time I saw another detail
I missed previously; Weird Al Yankovitch is a genius.

First I couldn't get the song out of my head, and I had to play
it a few dozen times. Then I had an uncontrollable urge to play
some Oingo Boingo music. That 80s has a feeling, after all, you
know?

"This is the song that I was born to write, basically. I've been doing
research on this song my entire life, so it's basically the culmination
of a lifetime of work. It's also my first big-budget, live-action video
in seven years, and it was a lot of fun to do. "
