Harris Center to Welcome Weird Al' Yankovic, 8/30-31
by Tyler Peterson
- Aug 13, 2015
A musical parodist in the broad, juvenile yet clever tradition of Mad magazine, 'Weird Al' Yankovic is known for adding his own gently satirical lyrics to current hit songs. His shaggy, hangdog appearance, affection for slapstick, and amiable willingness to do seemingly anything for a laugh made him a natural for videos. Yankovic is undoubtedly the most successful comedy-recording artist in the world, with more than 12 million albums sold. His newest tour offering, The Mandatory World Tour, covers his latest album Mandatory Fun (RCA Records), fresh from winning a Grammy and topping Billboard's album chart, for what can be deemed his most successful musical comedy endeavor to date.
