Coming up next… the second part of my interview with everybody’s favorite jokester Weird Al Yankovic! This time around he tells the story of doing weeks of research on a funny animal to nail a classic 80s parody I Want a New Duck. As well as the time he tried to get legendary guitarist Mark Knopfler to approve a comedy version of his famous 1985 hit Money for Nothing. Mark hemmed and hawed and finally agreed to it if he got to come in and play the guitar part and as it turns out, his own guitarist played it better.. find out why next. As well as how Madonna begged Al to make fun of her song even giving him the song title Like a Surgeon and how a pizza delivery guy talked him into letting him be his famous 1988 music video. All of these great stories are coming up next in our exclusive interview next on Professor of Rock.
