I already had a sizable collection of Weird Al records before I saw this video and in retrospect Weird Al is responsible for a lot of my musical tastes. I think I saw this video on Nick Rocks (not MTV proper) but it was all owned by the same crap so I think it still counts.
Mark Mothersbaugh has been quoted as saying Weird Al got Devo right better than Devo ever did. Maybe not quite, but it’s close for sure!
