Here's the weird George Harrison interview:

BTW: Who is this Al guy?

Weird Al is pretty cool. He always comes off just a bit amateurish.

Little know fact:

Rick Derringer (McCoys, Edgar WInter, Hang On Sloopy, Rock and Roll
Hootchie Coo) produced Al's videos mocking Michael Jackson (Eat it -
Fat)

Lizz Holmans...
Actually, back in the 80's, it was considered cool to do a cameo in a
Weird Al song. When he did 'Like a Surgeon', Madonna was his
assistant, filing her nails.

His first hit, 'Another One Rides the Bus' was recorded in his
bathroom with a friend thumping on a suitcase for percussion.

The only musician who refused to allow Al to parody has been
Eminem.One doesn't actually ask permission to do what is obviously a
parody is quite legal and doesn't need the original artist's
permission, but Al is a very clever fellow when it comes to lawsuits.
