Yankovic, Weird Al - A Complicated Song Lyrics






Uh huh ... extra cheese
Uh huh, uh huh ... save a piece for me

Pizza party at your house
I went just to check it out
Nineteen extra larges
What a shame
No one came

Just us eatin' all alone
You said, "Take the pizza home"
"No sense lettin' all this go to waste"
So then I faced

Pizza all day
And every day
This cheese 'round the clock
Is gettin' me blocked
And I sure don't care
For irregularity

Tell me
Why'd you have to go and make me so constipated?
'Cause right now I'd do anything to just get my bowels evacuated
In the bathroom ... I sit and I wait and I strain
And I sweat and I clench and I feel the pain
Oh, should I take laxatives or have my colon irrigated?
No no no

I was feelin' pretty down
'Till my girlfriend came around
We're just so alike in every way
I gotta say

In fact, I just thought I might
Pop the question there that night
I was kissing her so tenderly
But woe is me

Who would have guessed
Her family crest
I'd suddely spy
Tattooed on her thigh
And son-of-a-gun
It's just like the one on me

Tell me
How was I supposed to know we were both related?
Believe me, if I knew she was my cousin we never would have dated
What to do now? Should I go ahead and propose
And get hitched and have kids with eleven toes
And move to Alabama where that kind of thing is tolerated?
No no no no no no no
No no no no no no no
No no no no no

I had so much on my mind
I thought maybe I'd unwind
Try out that new roller coaster ride
And the guide

Said not to stand
But that's a demand
That I couldn't meet
I got on my feet
And stood up instead
And knocked off my head, you see

Tell me
Why'd I have to go and get myself decapitated?
This really is a major inconvenience, oh man, I really hate it
Such a drag, now ... Can't eat, I can't breathe, I can't snore
I can't belch or yodel anymore
Can't spit or blow my nose or even read Sports Illustrated

Oh no
Why'd I have to go and get myself all mutilated? (yeah, yeah)
I gotta tell ya, life without a head kinda makes me irritated
What a bummer
Can't blink, I can't cough, I can't sneeeze
But my neck is enjoyin' a pleasant breeze now
Haven't been the same since my head and I were separated
No no no

Yankovic, Weird Al A Complicated Song Comments
  1. A.... P....

    Here I think that "getting decapitated" is a metaphor for "losing his head"

  2. F.... S....

    I work overnights at Lowe’s and I used to sing this version at the top of my lungs every time the real one played on the overhead. It got to the point where whenever it came on, my coworkers would yell “Don’t do it, Sam!” 🤣

    F.... S....

    But you were singing the better version tho

  3. C.... O....

    Yes....

  4. R.... G....

    He's parodying the gratuitous rhyming with "ated."

  5. E.... P....

    Weird Al is one of my favorite singers. I just love his parodies. But how did he manage to sing this with no head?

  6. U.... D....

    Uh huh, extra cheese
    Uh huh, uh huh, save a piece for me

    But my neck is enjoyin' a pleasant breeze now
    Haven't been the same since my head and I were separated
    No, no, no

  7. A.... F....

    Al has his priorities straight. the biggest inconvenience is not yodeling after being decapitated

  8. P.... P....

    hate to say, but when the original song came out.....we were already singing "constipated" in place of the original lyrics before weird al released this :P

  9. D.... ....

    Mr. Stark... I feel constipated...

  10. D.... ....

    1:37 took me by surprise. Like... Dang...

  11. M.... k....

    This is so underrated wtf!!!

  12. m.... c....

    we listened to this in class and oh my god

    m.... c....

    You have a HOLY class.

  13. M.... S....

    This is so good.
    Because the original is so good.
    He only piss takes the best songs.

  14. F.... F....

    Milo Murphy.

  15. D.... S....

    Is it time to find new friends? Maybe we should ask our children this question.

  16. M.... B....

    good ol' Al..

  17. C.... E....

    LOL!!!!!!!

  18. p.... t....

    Pity Poodle Hat didnae do too well...imagine if we got a music video of this!

  19. A.... O....

    I made the mistake of listening to this at work today and was laughing for nearly 10 minutes.

    Why isn't there a video for this song ?!

    A.... O....

    This album got mixed reviews when it first came out and is only JUST getting the respect it deserves

  20. M.... H....

    This is giving me a great laugh I needed today!!

    On another note, when Avril’s song first came out, my workmates and I used to sing it as Constipated and we used to make up words for it. This is so much better!!

  21. b.... w....

    Damn, dude got fucking decapitated and still did the song.

  22. a.... ....

    It's a shame this song came out before The Walking Dead. In the 4th verse, he could have become reanimated.

  23. L.... P....

    Funny haha.

  24. P.... 3....

    Al should have called it
    whatever-ated

  25. P.... 3....

    Insert your own joke about Avril’s Fanbase here

    P.... 3....

    "They spend most their time living in an _Avril_ Paradise"

  26. M.... ....

    "Hmm, which of these should I write about...? I got it!"

  27. g.... o....

    alabama incest jokes in 2003, wow he was ahead of his time

  28. N.... ....

    "My neck is a joy in the pleasant breeze now."
    What a glorious line written.

    N.... ....

    *enjoyin'

  29. J.... C....

    I rly wish he made a music video to accompany this parody; This is hands down top ten fav Weird Al parodies. Def way underrated. Then again, all his music is pretty underrated. <3

  30. L.... ....

    Why is this song so freakin' underrated?
    Is it the way he took an Avril song and got it all desecrated?

    L.... ....

    ...in the bathroom

  31. C.... P....

    Thank you, Al, very cool

  32. N.... E....

    This was the first Weird Al song I ever heard, way back in elementary school. Everyone just called the song "Constipated", even though that's obviously not the actual title. Weird Al has been a musician for almost twice as long as I have been alive lmao

  33. I.... W....

    I love his voice.. it’s so 2000’s

  34. V.... S....

    THIS IS THE BEST AL PARODY!!!!

  35. S.... O....

    "Move to Alabama where this kind of thing is tolerated"
    Sweet home Alabama. Even Al knows. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

    S.... O....

    Roll tide!

    S.... O....

    Al is an all knowing parody demigod

    S.... O....

    Not true though lol.

    S.... O....

    Honestly I didn't know the Alabama/incest joke was that old (song was 2003...I thought it's like few years old at most). Thought it was kind of a recent thing.

  36. K.... M....

    My art teacher played this in class.........

    K.... M....

    Sounds like you have a great teacher

    K.... M....

    @PyroGothNerd truee

    K.... M....

    You have a fantastic teacher.

  37. B.... S....

    RRRRRRRRRRRR

  38. m.... m....

    Other parodies-makes fun of the song or the singer of the original song
    Weird Al Yankovic’s parodies-Makes fun of himself in a humorous way

    m.... m....

    Patoren 3gou
    Yep, that’s why he’s a beloved parody maker

    m.... m....

    Patoren 3gou
    Yep

    m.... m....

    There's a few where he makes fun of the original song. Achy Breaky Song is the meanest, but Smells like Nirvana and Perform This Way references the original artists as well.

    m.... m....

    bbarrett726
    Ok

  39. J.... S....

    "why'd I have to go and get myself decapitated?!"

    J.... S....

    Sad gamer moment, got himself decapitated.

    J.... S....

    @Darian Headset adjusted
    Knuckles cracked
    Head Decapitated

    Yep, it's gamer time

  40. c.... ....

    Am I the only one who watches his videos and then find the song it
    parodies??

  41. M.... P....

    That was an eventful day for Al

  42. L.... E....

    Here because of Dylan
    (UnitedGamer)

  43. I.... M....

    Just imagine a music video

  44. M.... ....

    Okay, but... how are you singing about this?

  45. t.... g....

    THANK YOU TIMESTAMP! SO GLAD I WATCHED THE SOUL LINK AND FOUND THIS MASTERPIECE! THANKS MAN!

    t.... g....

  46. P.... ....

    Here from soul link

    P.... ....

    same XD

    P.... ....

    Same here,Lol

  47. L.... ....

    1:47 Alabama 💯

    L.... ....

    Lol I live in Alabama

    L.... ....

    @Noah McNeil You living with your cousin?

    L.... ....

    @Sketch Onomadek Lol no, a lot of kids make incest jokes. They really aren't offended. And sometimes you might find that they're a 2nd cousin😐. I personally have a lot of cousins and only one of them is my blood relative.

  48. B.... B....

    very good

  49. Y.... H....

    He who is tired of Weird Al is tired of life!

    Y.... H....

    Homer Simpson sure thinks so. (It's true though)

    Y.... H....

    Dylan Kaiser I rate you for knowing that reference!

  50. Q.... C....

    0:20 Good, as depressing as that is, even more pizza for me.

  51. N.... M....

    New favorite Weird Al song

  52. s.... ....

    Al if you read this i will cut off bodyparts to chill with you for a day.lol.serious......

  53. I.... 7....

    al truly is amazing! he can sing despite not having a head!

  54. C.... R....

    NOT IN ALABAMA!
    😂😂😂😂😂😂

  55. P.... ....

    Anthem of Clace? 😂❤️

  56. G.... C....

    I love this song because Al couldn't choose whether to use Constipated, Related or Decapitated so he just used all three.

    G.... C....

    Grandma's Cramp mutilated pretty much summed it all up

    G.... C....

    Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

    G.... C....

    Your profile pic makes me uncomfortable


    Not because I’m a liberal but simply because he exists

    G.... C....

    That's always his style. Every chorus is about something else.

  57. K.... o....

    Poor Al. He got constipated, realized his girlfriend was his cousin and had his head cut off by a roller coaster all in one day. I blame his friend for inviting him to that pizza party.

    K.... o....

    Nathan Skip he could only make a video for one song cause Eminem decided to be an egotistical dickhead and thought a weird al music video would ruin his career

    Proving once again that Slim Shady didn’t actually understand the music industry


    Probably explains why he makes a video for 90% of the songs on his albums after that

    K.... o....

    But worst of all he simply cannot yodel anymore

    K.... o....

    You are that friend though.

    K.... o....

    "Today I lost more than you could ever know"

    K.... o....

    Sounds like Albuquerque

  58. G.... R....

    I like to think in an ideal world, Al was the original artist.

    G.... R....

    Glen Ryder A parallel universe where Weird al is the original artist & all the other songs are the parodies

    G.... R....

    @DMZ-1955 No, Al's parodies came first.

  59. K.... ....

    Who else is here after Head Above Water?

  60. W.... ....

    Ya know IN THE BATHROOM

  61. A.... T....

    19 extra large pizzas would’ve costed around $380-$400 dollars. Plus tip.

  62. B.... ....

    1.5x speed

  63. G.... ....

    Cheese is our friend but it is also our enemy

  64. J.... E....

    Weird al is the best

  65. T.... E....

    How can you be alive if you and your head separated?

  66. H.... A....

    If he got decapitated, then how the hell was he able sing this song? (Unless this was written in the Futurama universe then never mind)

    H.... A....

    Comedy.

    H.... A....

    He's singing this song while his decapitated head expires due to loss of oxygen in the brain.

    H.... A....

    It's complicated.

    H.... A....

    @Hermit Oldguy Pray to God it does not get real illustrated.

  67. C.... T....

    WHY DIDN'T THIS EVER COME UP IN MY RECOMENDATION?!

    C.... T....

    because Youtube's algorithm is wack

    C.... T....

    @Roguish RavenTrue that.

    C.... T....

    Fr tho.

  68. B.... B....

    Anybody who can't see that this guy is an absolute GENIUS...I don't know what you're looking for.

    B.... B....

    Al skipped two grades and started high school at 12. For an example of just how big a genius he his, all one has to do is listen to "Bob."

    B.... B....

    @r0bw00d the schooling system is to inhibit genii, not encourage them: the sooner you part and do not look back, the better off you are to discover your own potential free from military-type "education" structures of obedience, propaganda, indoctrination and brain-washing.

    B.... B....

    That has nothing to do with what I said. It wasn't Al's parents' decision to have him skip two grades; it was the school's, so right off the bat what you said is wrong. That's true for the schools of today but not back in the '60s and '70s. As for the latter half of your final sentence, you pulled the completely out of your ass--either that or you're not talking about American schools.

    B.... B....

    Very accurate comment.

    B.... B....

    You're not a real celebrity unless weird al makes a parody of your song.

  69. O.... F....

    I love this so much 😂😂😂😂

  70. O.... F....

    Oh my gosh I wasn't expecting this 😂😂😂

  71. B.... B....

    You know.....

    B.... B....

    Big Ball Of Sunshine IN THE BATHROOM!

  72. S.... ....

    Who’s here because of Some Jerk with a Camera?

  73. N.... R....

    I love this song! Weird Al You rock :)

  74. V.... ....

    🎶"Should I go and get my colon irrigated?"🎶 😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂

    V.... ....

    "No no nooo!"

  75. s.... ....

    This is to be my shit back in the day. I remember in grade school, I thought this was the funniest thing ever. I started singing it out of nowhere the other day, and here I am after probably five years!

    0:57 NCS Joke Here

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

    I remember hearing this song for the first time back in the early 2000s when I was in high school. I always love Weird Al's versions of songs more than the original! 😀💙💛
