"Weird Al" Yankovic, the leading song parodist of his era, has maintained a successful career spanning nearly four decades, outlasting his predecessor Allan Sherman. Known as the king of novelty records, Yankovic has created a repertoire of hits that satirize various musical genres and artists, solidifying his place in music history. His career was launched in the early 1980s after gaining popularity on the Dr. Demento show, and he quickly rose to fame with hits like "Eat It" and "Smells Like Nirvana."

Born in 1959, Yankovic began his musical journey at a young age, drawing inspiration from artists like Frank Yankovic and becoming a fan of musical comedy. After studying architecture and gaining attention with his parody songs, Yankovic signed with Scotti Brothers and released his debut album in 1983. Utilizing the emerging medium of music videos, he found further success with hits like "Like a Surgeon" and "Amish Paradise." Yankovic's innovative use of humor in music videos and continued success in the industry have solidified his status as a comedic music icon.
