🌀 The Weird Al Show Theme Song Lyrics

Oh this is a story about a guy named Al And he lived in the sewer with his hamster pal But the sanitation workers really didn’t approve So he packed up his accordion and had to move To a city in Ohio where he lived in a tree And he worked in a nasal decongestant factory And he played on the company bowling team And every single night he had a strange recurring dream Where he was wearing lederhosen in a vat of sour cream But that’s really not important to the story Well the very next year he met a dental hygienist With a spatula tattooed on her arm But he didn’t keep in touch and he lost her number Then he got himself a job on a tater tot farm And he spent his life savings on a split-level cave Twenty miles below the surface of the earth And he really makes a mighty fine jelly bean and pickle sandwich For what it’s worth Then one day Al was in the forest trying to get a tan When he heard the tortured screaming of a funny little man He was caught in a bear trap and Al set him free And the guy that he rescued was grateful as could be And it turns out that he’s a big shot producer on TV So he gives Al a contract and what do you know Now he’s got his very own Weird Al Show

Behind the Lyrics: Meaning & Story

The The Weird Al Show theme song is a classic piece of narrative comedy songwriting. It serves as a mock-biographical origin story for Al’s foray into Saturday morning television on CBS in 1997.

The song brilliantly parodies the “rags-to-riches” TV theme trope, suggesting that Al only got his show by sheer luck after rescuing a TV producer from a bear trap while trying to get a tan in a forest.
