Personal Quote:

There are a lot of songs that would ostensibly be a good candidate for parody, yet I can't think of a clever enough idea. See more »

Trivia:

Another artist to have denied parody permission is Paul McCartney. Yankovic wrote a parody of "Live and Let Die" called "Chicken Pot Pie", but McCartney (a staunch vegetarian) denied permission. As a result, Yankovic has never released the song, but has performed it in concert. See more »

Trademark:

Displays his remarkable flexibility in many videos, performing feats like putting his leg behind his head or the "boneless dance" where his elbows appear to bend both ways. See more »

Nickname:

The King of Parody See more »

Scorpio
