Learn all about how a young boy from California who listened to polka music and played the accordion became a comedian, parody songwriter, and Grammy winner in this biography for young listeners about “Weird Al” Yankovic!
When Alfred Yankovic was seven years old, a salesman knocked on the door of his family home selling guitars and accordions. Al's life was never the same! He drew inspiration from comedian, radio broadcaster, and novelty songwriter Dr. Demento. By the time he was sixteen years old, Al graduated high school at the top of his class and had his first parody song on the radio.
While in college studying architecture, Alfred Yankovic became “Weird Al." He got a job at his university radio station where he worked on novelty songs, comedy sketches, and developing his public image, which included his signature Hawaiian shirt. His hard work led him to a record deal with Scotti Bros. Records, a time slot with MTV, and a headlining tour act. After releasing fourteen albums, two children’s books, and a comedy movie, Weird Al received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2018. Today, he is as famous for his Hawaiian shirt as he is for his hit songs, including "Eat It," "Smells Like Nirvana," and "Amish Paradise." Find out more about the life and career of “Weird Al” Yankovic in this biography for young listeners.
