This really is the Ultimate Video Collection! — 1 year ago
When I heard that this was coming out to DVD, I didn’t give it a second thought that I was going to get it. I had Weird Al Yankovic: The Videos and Weird Al Yankovic Live, so between the two I could watch every video that Weird Al ever made up to that point other than the video he did for “Bob” on AlTV.
But it’s much nicer to be able to watch all of them at once from one DVD, plus The Ultimate Video Collection also has the afforementioned Bob video. The greatest thing about this DVD though is that it has some really great videos in the extras section. There is Weird Al’s first national television appearance where he performed Another One Rides the Bus with just his drummer Bermuda as backup, except Bermuda played accompianment by beating on Weird Al’s accordian case. It’s really great to see how far Weird Al has come since his beginnings. There is also a great Easter egg that has shows a young Weird Al playing My Bologna on his accordian. My favorite extra though is the Weird Al show clips. I had never seen these before, as I was always missing the Weird Al show when it was on. I saw it previewed by Al in an interview on Regis and Kathy Lee but I could never remember to watch it when it came on. These videos are really funny. “Haircut” in particular is great. It has me laughing every time I see it. :)
