Dude's still got it.
And that's speaking as someone for whom Weird Al in 3D was the soundtrack of my 3rd grade year.
Man, he is hitting hard on this one!
Please, Al, don't hurt them!
Also, this has been up for an hour, and no one is mentioning the reddit shout out yet? You guys are slipping.
Awesome, awesome song. Holy crap is Al a genius.
But also, BIG shout out to whoever Al hired to produce this video. Every single animation is perfect.
ITT: Everyone triple-checking there grammar before posting.
I like this one better than yesterday's.
Somewhere in this world, the "cool" English teacher is going to use this video in an attempt to connect to his students. I promise you.
The irony vs coincidence clip showed rain on your wedding day.
We're looking at you, Alanis Morissette!

For anyone wondering, this song is a parody of Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines. The video on Youtube has over 325M views, so I'm prepared to admit that I might be the only person on Earth that had never heard the song.
