I've been having fun watching "Weird
Al" Yankovic's eight new videos in eight days campaign for his
new album. And I like this one (including the wonderful two-second shot
at Alanis Morrisette) a lot. Words and music by the Wieird One,
animation by Jarrett Heather.
But this song, by Tom Lehrer of the p3
pantheon of gods, remains the definitive grammar song. It's from the old Children's Television Workshop series The Electric Company, which boasted regulars like Morgan Freeman and Rita Moreno. And it's in klezmer
style. Take that,
Weird Al.
