With Alpocalypse, he had his best material to date on tracks like ‘Polka Face’ and ‘Party in the CIA,’ but we can’t forget the classics like ‘Amish Paradise’ and ‘White & Nerdy.’ What parodies would we want to see the most on the new album? Katy Perry’s ‘Dark Horse’ could be re-imagined as a Star Wars song as ‘Dark Force,’ and One Republic’s ‘Counting Stars’ can be an ode to cheating casinos as ‘Counting Cards.’ Eh? EH? Okay, maybe not. ‘Weird Al’ covers all sides of the spectrum. Foo Fighters? Smashing Pumpkins? Whoever the band is, there surely won’t be any shortage of parodies of older songs and newer ones. The new Weird Al album is supposedly going to parody Iggy Azalea At KS107.5's Summer Jam in Colorado a few weeks back, she allegedly agreed to it, and the song in question may just be Iggy’s hit, ‘Fancy.’ Additionally, comedian Patton Oswalt tweeted out that he’s in “awe” after listening to his new album, and that he parodies a band that Oswalt’s worshipped since the 90’s.

'Weird Al' will release his new album on July 15Īs for his final album, it’s something that’s only been speculated, but the upcoming record is going to be the last of his current record contract. The master of pop parodies spent the past couple of days hyping up an announcement, and finally let the news out with a tweet him dressed in a Russian-style military outfit with text that says “July 15.” So, a new album is coming – his first since his 2011 release, Alpocalypse - but what in the world does the uniform have to do with anything? He’s ‘Weird Al’ for a reason though, so it won’t be long until everything (kind of) starts to make sense. ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic is back at it again, but it might just be for the last time in a long time.
