Artistfacts:
| Al has a degree in architecture. |
| As a kid, he listened to the Dr. Demento show. He got his break when Dr. Demento played Al's "My Bologna" (parody of The Knack's "My Sharona"). |
| Al's albums consist of parodies and original songs, but typically it's only the parodies that get radio play. |
| Al keeps his music family-friendly. Many song parodies of a sexual nature have been mistakenly credited to Weird Al. |
| Several times in the mid-'80s, Al got to be an MTV VJ in a segment called "Al-TV." (thanks, Andy - Arlington, VA, for above 5) |
| Contrary to popular belief, Al is not related to Frankie Yankovic, "America's Polka King." However, both Yankovics became famous for playing the accordion. (thanks, Benjamin - Kent, WA) |
