Al why are there newspapers all over the place?

Is that like a Huey Lewis and the news joke or something?

No, Al welcome to watch mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 celebrity reactions to Weird al songs for this list.

We're going over the most shocking, surprising, ridiculous and entertaining reaction celebrities had to their music being parodied by Weird Al Yankovic.

Which of these caught you off guard.

Let us know in the comments if you like what you're hearing, be sure to check out the full song at the link below hammer.

But my honeys like Beyonce number 10 Madonna for as big as she was back in the eighties one would expect a pop star such as Madonna to develop some kind of ego and take their music way too seriously.

Madonna is not like most pop stars.

In fact, she actually had a hand in the making of Weird Al's like a virgin parody, Like a surgeon turns out Madonna was actually friends with Yankovic's agent and had mentioned the likelihood of Al parodying like a virgin.

Somehow the agent passed the word along to Yankovic and the rest is history number nine Coolio.

As we'll see a couple of times on this list, not every music artist has been receptive to Weird Al's parodies for a time.

Coolio was the most infamous case.

Perhaps the rapper's most famous song was gangsta's Paradise as I walk through the Valley of the shadow of Death my life but his Paradise was shattered after Yankovic put out Amish Paradise.

Coolio took offense to the parody claiming that Al was quote desecrating the song in the face of this criticism, Yankovic still paid Coolio royalties and even sent a direct letter of apology.

It wasn't until 2006 when the two made amends and in 2014 Coolio admitted that his outrage was quote stupid.

Coolio later expressed resentment over how he handled the situation, saying quote real people should be able to admit when they're wrong and I was wrong bro, in hindsight, it was stupid of me to to say something about him, you know, doing a parody of Paradise number eight lin Manuel Miranda lin.

Manuel Miranda has certainly made a name for himself in entertainment, having written music for Disney's Encanto as well as the broadway phenomenon.

Hambleton I am not, but which song would be the one for Yankovic parody?

Well why not?

The whole thing.

The Hamiltons polka covers almost the entire musical and Miranda.

Heard it for himself, I'm willing to work work.

Miranda's wife filmed a Youtube video of Miranda listening to the whole polka medley and laughing hysterically.

Yeah, we were just as amazed at the song as Miranda was Washington isn't gonna listen to discipline dissidents, this is the difference number seven a millionaire, whereas Coolio wasn't cool with Amish Paradise pun intended, a millionaire sang a different tune also pun intended when White and nerdy was released in 2006, just a few months after riddance debut since Yankovic's parody ca millionaire has shown nothing but gratitude for the song.

My Myspace page is all totally pimped out, got people begging for my top eight spaces.

Yo I know pi to 1000 places, according to Yankovic, Millionaire approached him at the 49th annual Grammy Awards after riding one for best rap song and personally thanked him.

The rapper has even gone so far as to praise Weird Al for his outstanding rapping abilities and has attributed riding success too white and nerdy Number six Eminem, it's strange to see one rap artist be disdainful and another praising its even stranger to see one land on both sides.

While Eminem did approve of Weird Al's lose yourself parody titled couch potato.

He wasn't so keen about the idea of a music video.

Yankovic already had a plan for the music video until Eminem refused to allow it, claiming it would damage his reputation.

He also refused to allow the song to get a commercial release sometime later, Yankovic would put out a mock interview on Al tv where he openly criticized Eminem.

So you think for example, if somebody wanted to do, oh I don't know a parody of somebody else's video, they should be able to artistically express themselves and just do it.

The rapper has since re conned his concerns, calling both the parody and mock interview, quote funny you can watch anything, you want to make number five kurt Cobain before the world lost Kurt Cobain, the frontman of Nirvana did get a chance to listen to smells like Nirvana Weird Al's parody of smells like teen spirit.

In the parody, Yankovic sings about not remembering any of the words to the song and fills in some bits with nonsensical words and sounds.

We could understand why someone might misconstrue the song as an insult but not Cobain according to him, he and his bandmates saw smells like Nirvana as a sign a sign they had made it as music artists.

Number four Lady Gaga.

Lady Gaga is discovery of her parody was a rather bizarre one and one that probably resulted in someone getting a stern talking to while performed this way, A parody of gaga's born This way was being made.

Yankovic was denied permission to parody the song by goggles management team.

The team stating that gaga herself refused was superstar.

However, after the song gained a ton of traction gaga came out and clarified that she had no idea the parody even existed and that management had denied the parody behind her back gaga further stated that she was a fan of Yankovic loved the parody and openly granted permission for the song to launch on his then upcoming album.

Al apocalypse.

Number three, Don Mclean Mclean's american pie is a rather heavy song to listen to despite its somewhat upbeat tones, it's not easy recounting the day the music died, especially if you're someone who had lived when it happened.

So for someone to come in and Star Wars it up like Yankovic did with the saga begins, you would expect someone to be angry time ago in a galaxy far away.

On the contrary, Mclean has publicly stated his love for the parody and has even confessed to nearly singing Yankovic song instead of his own by complete accident during his live shows.

No two Michael Jackson.

Yeah, even Michael Jackson knew about weird al's parodies and he was fully supportive and communicative with Yankovic about their work.

Not only was the king of Pop, a fan of Edith, the parody of his beat it.

Jackson even helped Yankovic with the fat music video by giving them access to the studio where the bad music video slash short film batter was shot.

The only time Jackson did not approve of a parody was when Yankovic wanted to write one based on black or white, Jackson believed the song held a very important message that he did not want ruined and Yankovic ultimately agreed just before we reveal our number one pick here are some honorable mentions, the presidents of the United States of America.

The band has referenced gump when playing lump at concerts Brian May, the queen guitarist found another one rides the bus to be quote hilarious.

Mark Mothersbaugh, The devo frontman said that dare to be stupid was quote the most beautiful thing I had ever heard crash test dummies loved headline news so much that they've performed it with Weird al twice.

He couldn't quite explain it.

Number one James blunt and atlantic records of all the music artists and record labels, Yankovic has dealt with James blunt and atlantic records have seemingly been the most difficult despite having blunt's approval to parody your beautiful Yankovic was refused permission by atlantic records to release your pitiful months after his inquiry and being told he'd be approved, quote when the time is right.

Not only was Yankovic denied a commercial release by blunt and atlantic before the song quietly launched in 2006, He was denied by Atlantic again in 2009 and in 2016, he was denied permission from Blunt himself.

Yankovic still performs the song at live shows and since then, Atlantic records has been the butt of several jokes across music videos and live performances.

I added Wikipedia in a way it's beautiful.
