Weird Al Yankovic - Dare To Be Stupid Lyrics






Put down that chainsaw and listen to me
It's time for us to join in the fight
It's time to let your babies grow up to be cowboys
It's time to let the bedbugs bite

You better put all your eggs in one basket
You better count your chickens before they hatch
You better sell some wine before its time
You better find yourself an itch to scratch

You better squeeze all the Charmin you can while Mr. Whipple's not around
Stick your head in the microwave and get yourself a tan

Talk with your mouth full
Bite the hand that feeds you
Bite off more than you chew
What can you do
Dare to be stupid

Take some wooden nickles
Look for Mr. Goodbar
Get your mojo working now
I'll show you how
You can dare to be stupid

You can turn the other cheek
You can just give up the ship
You can eat a bunch of sushi and forget to leave a tip

Dare to be stupid
Come on and dare to be stupid
It's so easy to do
Dare to be stupid
We're all waiting for you
Let's go

It's time to make a mountain out of a molehill
So can I have a volunteer
There's no more time for crying over spilled milk
Now it's time for crying in your beer

Settle down, raise a family, join the PTA
Buy some sensible shoes and a Chevrolet
And party 'till you're broke and they drag you away
It's OK, you can dare to be stupid

It's like spitting on a fish
It's like barking up a tree
It's like I said you gotta buy one if you wanna get one free

Dare to be stupid (yes)
Why don't you dare to be stupid
It's so easy to do
Dare to be stupid
We're all waiting for you
Dare to be stupid

Burn your candle at both ends
Look a gift horse in the mouth
Mashed potatoes can be your friends

You can be a coffee achiever
You can sit around the house and watch Leave It To Beaver
The future's up to you
So what you gonna do

Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
What did I say
Dare to be stupid
Tell me, what did I say
Dare to be stupid
It's alright
Dare to be stupid
We can be stupid all night
Dare to be stupid
Come on, join the crowd
Dare to be stupid
Shout it out loud
Dare to be stupid
I can't hear you
Dare to be stupid
OK, I can hear you now
Dare to be stupid
Let's go, Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid

  6. D.... ....

    This song is going to be played before the reading of my will. I'd have it played at the funeral but I figure the ones at the will reading will be more incentified to watch the whole thing and pay attention. As I will explain that it holds all the answers to why I've divided my life's accumulation the way I have in the reading of the will that will follow. Just to find out I left it all to the dog.

  7. S.... J....

    This is cool!

  8. T.... ....

    Shitpost before shitposting was a thing I see...

  27. N.... ....

    Literally only 2 things in this song were not stupid
    1. Turning the other cheek
    2. Giving up the ship
    People often choose other options, sadly.

  28. m.... ....

    This is the greatest song in the history of the world.

  29. C.... ....

    My mom forbade me to listen to this song when I was a kid (1990s) because she thought I'd actually be stupid enough to try turn the microwave on with my head in it...like, you can't turn the thing on with the door open...you couldn't back then, either.

    C.... ....

    She dared to be stupid

  30. S.... H....

    Weird al yankovic is God

  31. T.... S....

    this is an odd music video...even by Weird Al standards

  32. s.... ....

    I have no idea how I never watched this video. I always watch a bunch of Junkions fighting Autbots.

  33. a.... a....

    when Al was more Devo than the real Devo

  34. B.... H....

    Bah Weep Gra Na weep nini bong!

  35. V.... ....

    Do I...






    DARE TO BE STUPID?!

  38. T.... F....

    I wonder if the Toastercaster is really a thing??

  39. M.... S....

    I played this in a junkyard. All the cars started dancing .

  40. F.... M....

    This is the song that got me into Devo.

  45. C.... K....

    I wanna get Steve Jay's bass strap so badly, does anyone know where I could buy one?

  46. �.... ....

    Looking back, i now realize Al is why im like this

  47. R.... R....

    Perfect description of boomers.

  48. C.... V....

    wish i have those dreams

  49. B.... 1....

    Someone please take all the stupid challenges and add this song to them. I would watch it. (Like the Tide pod Challenge)

  50. w.... ....

    I had this as my alarm for a while so I cant stand the intros music but I enjoy his songs enough to really not care

  51. C.... Z....

    The official motto of the Republican party!

    C.... Z....

    Democrats too, welcome to [current year]

  52. y.... e....

    doing land scaping and listening too music at the same time. right when i picked up the chainsaw weird al said " PUT DOWN THAT CHAIN SAW AND LISTEN TOO ME"

  53. C.... 1....

    Weird Al "woke" before woke was a thing

  54. G.... H....

    Transformers fans where you at?

  55. J.... D....

    it's one of his first style parody. He did one of beach boys, nine inch nails, the pixies, talking heads, the doors, etc

  56. B.... ....

    Jesus christ, 1985, I had no idea that Weird Al was making songs even back then, that was 11 years before I was born. My lordy.

  57. n.... ....

    Ha - he's standing at the Interocitor from the movie This Island Earth. Brilliant!

  58. s.... ....

    Absolutely brilliant! If this had been an actual Devo song, it'd be one of their best hits.

  59. P.... ....

    Catagory : Music
    Song :TOM's DINER

    Good Job Youtube.

  60. W.... P....

    Transformers the movie

  61. D.... M....

    I like this one!! But they don't have those hats on!!

  62. R.... ....

    whats the original?

    R.... ....

    There is none. Over half of Al's songs are originals and this is one of them.
    This one is what Al calls a style parody. He studies the body of work of an artist and then he writes an original song in their style.

    R.... ....

    @chickadee ok

  63. B.... ....

    Transformers

  64. S.... M....

    Mashed potatoes can be your friends

  72. G.... B....

    DEVO !
    The True Pioneers Of Rock and Roll Music Videos
    DEVO is Ahead of Their Time !

    It’s honestly pretty impressive how many DEVO references he managed to fit into the music video.

    T.... I....

    Because DEVO is Weird Al Yankovic
    Favorite Band !

  74. H.... ....

    I listened to whip it immediately before listening to this song. I can definitely hear the similarities

  75. H.... G....

    Mash Motatoes are my friends.

  76. H.... G....

  77. G.... B....

    Since DEVO is Weird Al Yankovic
    Favorite groups !

  78. G.... B....

    It sounds like the keyboards
    are saying DEVO DEVO DEVO
    Dare to Be DEVO !

  79. B.... P....

    It's not hard to knock them down, it's getting them to stay down that's the trick!

  80. G.... B....

    Happy New year 2020 !
    Weird Al Yankovic and DEVO fans !

  81. S.... M....

    My last 4 brain cells in 3 AM:

  82. M.... T....

    More devo than devo

  83. S.... t....

    You cannot listen to this song without remembering the scene from the transformers g1 movie

  84. W.... D....

    Transformers: The Movie. The best 80s movie. Who's listening to this after seeing the movie?

    W.... D....

    I just watched the Transformers movie 2 days ago. I always listen to these afterwards.

  85. R.... A....

    Transformers The Movie...the cartoon movie not Michael Bay's versions....

  86. A.... S....

    The description says the song is TOMS DINER

  87. T.... ....

    “You can eat a bunch of sushi then forget to leave a tip”
    Tbh this is me

    T.... ....

    That's the voice of Milo Murphy right here!

  88. P.... R....

    My first Weird Al cassette tape given to me for my 10th birthday in 1985. I have bought many of his videos when they were in VHS format. My VCR still works, but it's pretty old and too much work to rewind them these days. They're all stuck at the end. *slouches in my car seat and taps the screen on my phone* This is the way to go today.

  89. s.... ....

    On this day in 1985 {December 29th} 'Weird Al' Yankovic performed "Dare To Be Stupid" on the ABC-TV Saturday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'...
    "Dare To Be Stupid" was track two of side one on his third studio album, 'Dare To Be Stupid', the album peaked at #50 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart...
    One track from the album made Billboard's Top 100 chart, "Like A Surgeon", it reached #47 in July of 1985...
    Between 1983 and 2014 the Downey, California native had eleven records on the Top 100 chart, one* made the Top 10, "White & Nerdy", it reached #9 {for 1 week} on October 15th, 2006...
    Alfred Matthew 'Weird Al' Yankovic celebrated his 60th birthday two months ago on October 23rd, 2019...
    * He came close to having a second Top 10 record when his "Eat It" peaked at #12 in April of 1984...

    s.... ....

    Why doesn't having his album, Mandatory Fun, debut as #1 on the Billboard Charts count?

  90. F.... ....

    Everytime I listen to this song I totally forget I'm listening to Al Yankovic and not Devo

  91. 8.... r....

    Who's here from hearing this in the the 1986 Transformers movie?

  92. N.... M....

    That is the eight years of Obama

  93. R.... W....

    This was from the Transformers film.

  94. S.... J....

    Weird Al is such a genius😁

  95. c.... f....

    Still can't believe this song was in Transformers 😂😂😂

  96. B.... M....

    1.2k people have no sense of humor.

  97. i.... ....

    Every time I listen to this song and there's a commercial before or afterwards, my brain thinks it's part of the movie UFI and I wait for the punch line...

  98. U.... ....

    Hey- beavis- ehehehehhehe uheheheh This is cool
