Alfred Matthew "Weird Al" Yankovic (born October 23, 1959) is an American singer, songwriter, musician, comedian, actor, and satirist widely known for his parodies of contemporary popular music. He plays the accordion and is known for his humorous lyrics and polka medleys.
Yankovic's career began in the late 1970s. He gained wider recognition with songs like "Eat It" (a parody of Michael Jackson's "Beat It") and "Like a Surgeon" (a parody of Madonna's "Like a Virgin"). His work often incorporates elaborate costumes and music videos.
Beyond music, Yankovic has ventured into television and film, including starring in the movie "UHF" and creating "The Weird Al Show."
