"Weird Al" Yankovic



"Weird Al" Yankovic (Alfred Matthew Yankovic) is a god among men.

His song "Dare To Be Stupid" was included in the soundtrack to the 1986 Transformers movie, as the soundtrack was released on Scotti Bros. Records, the label Al was at during that time. (The song's rampant pop-culture referencing certainly fit the scene it appeared in, the battle with the pop-culture-talking Junkions.)

As he tells it, he just got a phone call one day and said "okay" and that was basically the last he heard about it.

Chords from "Dare To Be Stupid" were adapted by Vince DiCola into the background music track "Unusual Allies", found on the "'Til All Are One" two-CD set.
