This week, I’m joined by Patreon Mixtaper Philip Bergman, and together we’re making the definitive case for why Weird Al Yankovic belongs in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

We curate a 20-song playlist that goes far beyond the novelty label, exploring the full scope of Al’s brilliance — from iconic song parodies and flawless style pastiches to his legendary polka medleys and criminally underrated original tracks. Along the way, we dig into his unmatched musical precision, cultural impact, and decades-long influence on rock, pop, hip-hop and comedy alike.

This episode isn’t just a celebration of Weird Al’s funniest moments — it’s a deeper look at his musicianship, innovation, and longevity, and why humor has always had a rightful place in rock history.

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or finally discovering how deep his catalog runs, this is a love letter — and a persuasive argument — for one of music’s most original voices.

Much like UHF, this playlist’s got it all.
