Wow, that's bad. In a good way, of course. We can all blame Weird Al for every single crappy parody tune that is played on morning radio, he was a pioneer in some sense.

I have hung onto a couple of his father's albums that my grandparents had. Frankie Yankovic, the Polka and accordian master. Apple doesn't fall far.

Therealblankman; According to weird al's website;

Is Al related to the famous accordion-playing Polka King, Frankie Yankovic?

No, although they were friends for many years. (In October 1998, Frankie passed away at his home in Florida at the age of 83.)

I just happened to be browsing his site when i noticed this...

Really? Not related? Oh, interesting.

Well, after some consideration, I choose to disregard your facts, I prefer the truth. Weird Al is Frankie Yankovic's love child.
