"Weird Al" Yankovic - Sports Song [+ Review]


The latest "Weird Al" video to be released is the pretty blunt 'Sports Song' which echoes what all sports songs are really about - reminding the opposite team how great you are, and how much they 'suck'. Yankovic makes this relatively clear in his new video as he initially trots around the issue using eloquent language and then bluntly states that 'we're great (we're great)/ And you suck (you suck)', in a manner so that the other team can fully comprehend what Al and his marching band are saying. Yes if you ever needed a more grand way of saying that your team is better than someone else's, bring in a whole extravagant marching band complete with drummers, trombone players and Al as your leader. 

Also, throw in some enthusiastic sports fans in the background and you've got yourself a game! 'Sports Song' is the first track, to get a video, that is not a direct parody of a pop song, instead it is parodying sports songs as a whole, and how they all essentially say the same thing. So, if you ever needed a way to say to an opposing team that your team is better, feel free to whip out "Weird Al"'s version to really get your point across in a humorous and effective way. Remember, you're great! Watch Al's sports-tastic video over at Funny or Die, below:
