Here’s Thursday’s release which we hadn’t previously posted, Weird Al’s “Handy”. This is his take off on Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” video. In this video, Yankovic spoofs the character Schneider from the sitcom “One Day at a Time” and turns “Fancy” into a song about home repairs.
This is Day 6 in Yankovic’s “8 New Videos in 8 Days” campaign. Let’s recap.
Day 1: “Tacky” spoofing Pharrell Williams giant hit “Happy”.
Day 2: “Word Crimes” based on the Robin Thicke’s song of the Summer 2013, “Blurred Lines”.
Day 3: A parody of Lourdes’ “Royals” which Weird Al turned to “Foil”.
Day 4: Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” turned into “Handy” a parody about home improvements.
Day 5: “Sports Song“, a tribute to how bad someone else’s team always sucks.
