Weird Al Yankovic came screaming on the scene in the 1980s with a crazy sense of fashion and unusual music style. Complete with an accordion and wicked sense of humor, he’s been the undisputed parody king for more than 40 years. Weird Al has an enormous catalog of music that includes familiar songs like Eat It, Like a Surgeon, and Amish Paradise. His shows are truly unique, and something that concert-goers will never forget. While he’s parodied many artists, he doesn’t often cover current hits. But when he does, it’s something extraordinary. Weird Al and Will Forte performed a duet of Hot To Go! on November 9 in Kansas City. It was incredible.

Weird Al and Will Forte Sang “Hot To Go!” At Jason Sudeikis’ THUNDERGONG! Charity Event
The pair teamed up on stage, and Will asked Al about singing a song as it’s written.
“Not change the lyrics,” he asked.
“That’s what I’m talking about,” Will agreed.
“What a novel concept—that’s a great idea,” Al said right before the band began to play one of Chappell Roan’s huge hits.
When the crowd heard Hot To Go! begin, they knew they were in for a Weird Al treat. And, as always, he was on fire.
A fan shared a clip on YouTube that racked up more than 100,000 views in a day.
“Someone in the crowd probably murmured ‘I hope they play hot to go, to themselves as a joke and damn near had a stroke when they actually played it,” a fan joked.
This person pointed out something pretty cool. “It’s rarified air to have Weird Al parody your song, but to have him cover your song? She’s in a league of her own, truly.”
“Weird Al covering Chappell Roan is the making me all kinds of happy. Forget the 6 Grammy nods. This is the true sign that she’s made it,” another fan shared.
“Okay, she has officially made it. Weird Al did a straight cover of one of her songs,” Someone wrote.
We love Hot to Go!, but we love Weird Al even more. This is a match made in heaven. And this person’s suggestion would be a dream come true.
“All we need now is the Pink Pony Club Polka!!”
