The Objectively Definitive Weird Al Tier List
Do you like “Weird Al” Yankovic? I love Weird Al Yankovic! Everybody loves Weird Al Yankovic. What do you mean, you haven’t heard of Weird Al Yankovic? Only complete losers don’t know about Weird Al. If you don’t want to embarrass your entire family on the world wide web, then you need to watch the Objectively Definitive Weird Al Tier List! Behold as three white and nerdy guys listen, analyze, and rank every single Weird Al studio recording ever put to tape or digital bits!
This project was cooked up back in November. My good pal Brickroad and I were chatting around Discord (as we do) and he proposed the idea of ranking every Weird Al song ever recorded. I don’t need an excuse to talk at length about music, let alone Weird Al, who is one of my favorite artists. But we knew this project would be too big for the two of us to tackle, so I suggested we bring in mutual friend notabuttface ShifterChaos to act as our Canadian Idiot. Before you know it, the three of us had the criteria for our tier list defined in the most scientific way possible.
We go through every one of Weird Al’s fourteen studio albums and methodically review and rank each and every song. From Mr. Frump in the Iron Lung to Craigslist to It’s All About the Pentiums, we’ve got them all. Which songs will reach the rarified S-tier? What will be unlucky enough to fail in F? Plus, at the end of each show we review a bonus potporri track from Weird Al’s archives. Don’t worry, The Brain Song, our funky, funky neurons haven’t forgotten about you.
So if you’re interested in hearing the most accurate list of rankings for Weird Al songs, you can head over to Brickroad’s youtube channel. Here’s a playlist you can follow which will have all the videos in chronological order. A new video covering each studio album will be posted every Saturday. So see it! See it! Don’t you make me repeat it!
