It has been a long drought since Weird Al Yankovic released any new music. Well, today, the floodgates were opened because he released his first song in a decade.
Polkamania includes songs ranging from Adele’s Hello to Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off. And I can’t shake it off how good it is.
It is a total adrenaline rush. My heart was pumping like crazy, and I hadn’t even had my coffee yet.
Why did he release the tune today, of all days? He wrote, “Happy New Weird Al Single Release Day! I decided to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of my last album Mandatory Fun by doing a polka medley of some of the biggest hits of the last 10 years.”
Which ones do you think he missed?
