The unexaggerated true story about the greatest musician of our time, "Weird Al" Yankovic. We discuss Director Eric Appel's story pitch, recording audience chants at a Weird Al concert, recording a flexitone and hand farts with legend "Musical" Mike Kieffer, sound design for LSD trips and crafting the musical performances for fan favorites, "My Bologna" and "I Love Rocky Road".

Featuring Director Eric Appel, Supervising Sound Editor Anthony Vanchure, Sound Designer Mike James Gallagher and Re-recording Mixer Tony Solis.

From a conventional upbringing where playing the accordion was a sin, "Weird Al" Yankovic rebels and makes his dream of changing the words to world-renowned songs come true. An instant success and sex symbol, Al lives an excessivelifestyle and pursues an infamous romance that nearly destroys him.
