Yankovic, Weird Al - My Own Eyes Lyrics

who else keeps hearing "mayonnaise" mispronounced?

Just a regular day in NY STATE

Me after reading short stories on DeviantArt:

"With my own eyes I've seen things that'd drive normal men insane."

roses are red
violets are violet
do fucking normal things
or wierd al is finna get vilent

I know this is supposed to be Foo Fighters styles but I'm not going to lie, it sounds more like modern (08' and up) Offspring.

Be me I have a pea sized memory

Foo Fighters should cover this.

How has this song not exploded

I have a wish that i shall lose all feeling and connection in my large thinking organ from my combination of sclera,pupils,retinas and corneas.etc
In a nutshell i wish that i could disconnect my brain from my own eyes

This weird song is a take on the saying "What has been seen cannot be unseen.".

I'm a carnivore.

Would pay to hear foo fighters sing this!

If this was an actual (actual meaning not style parody of Foo Fighters) song weird AL could do a parody called "Mayonnaise". Just something done I thought of

Scrolling through Facebook for 10 minutes

B E S T S O N G

I saw an morbily obese lady eating mayo from a jar at the bus stop.

Rename it The Adventures of Florida Man.

Anyone else getting Foo Fighter vibes

68 idiots thought they would be Dave Grohl and thumbs-down this Foo Fighters pastiche. When in fact Dave Grohl friggin loves it. Nice try, idiots.

This is supposed to be a style parody of the Foo Fighters? Sounds more like Blink 182.

weird way of pronouncing "mayonnaise", al

this comment is very underrated

Hi excuse me what the fuck

plot twist 1: the speaker is blind from birth. plot twist 2: the speaker was blind and this is his therapy session one year after having his vision restored.

That's your theories?

I saw a guy mixing mega bloks with lego

I can’t make out 90% of the words in this song but I love it nonetheless

Well, better a zebra than a chorus boy...

Is this the album that was on the top charts in 2014?

Jack O’Halloran yep

is it just me or is weird al an actual genius

It's not just you - his lyricism is amazing; he is the Living God of Parody.

something tells me this is about the internet

Weird Al is the best...

This song needs a music video damn it!!

"Some priest got drunk and stole a circus zebra and trained it to massage his back"

wow I mean the Catholic church has stepped up their game. The only thing thing they could get to massage their back were 7 year old boys...

shahaman noodah HA HA! THEY SAID I COULD NEVER TEACH A ZEBRA TO MASSAGE MY BACK!

Its been so long since i have heard this song

With mayonaise?

This makes me think of something I can not unsee.

I was at a farm center with my mom, and we went past a mud hole, where we saw two pigs getting ready to get it on. (I was in my twenties, so I wasn't traumatized.)

Scrolling through deviant art

YES THIS SUMS HALF OF IT UP

what is this a remix of? i absolutely lofe it!!! i died when he dsaid i saw a junkie eat a tuba

It's an original song by Al, just in a Foo Fighters style song instrumentally

Hopefully MANDATORY FUN isn't Weird Al's last album like he said it was going to be.KEEP WRITING THEM, AL, AND I'll KEEP LISTENING TO THEM!!!

This song is very underrated.

This could honestly work as a serious song too. The main chorus lyrics and rythyms are great

I feel like there's a missed opportunity here. He talks about selling organs to buy lemonade and says "that's how we paid"... which really should have been followed by "with my own eyes".

Scarlet Manuka that would ruin the entire flow of the rest of the song

Not really, you'd just have to cut out the one line "I have to say that it was really darn good lemonade".

I think he means the chorus is about using his eyes. I think it'd be worth it though. And he could switch the "so much I wish I could un-see" to "so much I'll never have to see..." and it would still work.

@WeirdAl #FIFY

I really like the beats to the song and the picture of true Soviet Russia

This needs more comments. I frigging love this song!

What browsing 4chan feels like

Yeah, no foolin'...

Yes! Disactly.

@welsh weirdo noice

I mean, this isn't wrong

This deserves more views.

Is this weird al's origen story

Imagine trying to make a video game out of these songs. Just jumble all the things weird Al talks about into an open world, but how the hell would you make a world of such a bat shit insane imagination like his?

I don't know, but the level based on "Happy Birthday" would be the weirdest one of all.

Toejam and Earl is close as it gets

Dalen Lewin It's simple; have Al make it. :P

@Fox D I dunno...weirder than the "Stuck In A Closet With Vanna White" level???

I hope to Hell, Heaven, Heck, and Limbo Al catches wind of this idea! 27/27 would totally play!

esto es hermoso ❤

Good God, where does he live? Detroit? New Jersey? (AKA hell)

Isn't Detroit hell?

AmbrociousXP no New Jersey is hell

Weird Al lives in a mansion in L.A. with his smoking hot wife and why not? He deserves it!

I'm from Michigan.... Detroit is hell lol

Go the Cleveland. The only place where the creator of Cleveland "Moses Cleveland" hated it so much he died in not Cleveland. Their entire economy is based on Lebron James.
Im from South Jersy so i know messed up and Cleveland is...

this sounds like a song I've heard, but I've never heard anything by Foo Fighters. And now it's driving me mad that I can't remember what that song is. It's the chorus, it feels so familiar...

You are experiencing the Weird Al Affect. Don't worry, just let it in....

David Arruda| so do you know the song the chorus is from? Cause that's all I want to know.

It's completely original. It may sound similar but it is original.

@David Arruda There's also _You Make Me,_ for Oingo Bingo, _Velvet Elvis_ for The Police, and probably some others I'm forgetting.

The music is so good. I can play it LOUD. And it pisses my wife less than Frank Zappa does!

sorry, *on

Daniel E. Smith how about Genius In France?

this is fucking awsome

Why are there Chinese characters in the description?

what you mean animes? i don't see that in the description??

Are you sure those aren't Japanese? Sony is a Japanese corporation so maybe that's why.

Google Translate auto-detects it as Chinese and translates it as "Al Yankovic". So there you go, I guess.

It's probably just a glitch.

Only 13 comments? This was a great song!

Anyone else watching "Mandatory Fun"?

Destroyercam Cam me but I think I am a little late

Sounds a lot like a Foo Fighters song.

It's in their style.

Surprised Dave didn't collaborate on this

Yeah, sometimes Al will do a 'style parody' of a band/performer's whole oeuvre rather than just one song.


Some examples are "I'll Sue Ya" - Rage Against The Machine, "Craigslist" - The Doors, "Mission Statement" - Crosby, Stills & Nash (and maybe Young?)

@Jaded Empath theres also "Born to Be Stupid", which was a Deevo style parody and "Calling in Sick" which sounds like "Come As You Are" by Nirvana.

i personally think Hardware Store would have been the best song he would have given the license to harmonix :)

its got it all... extreme drums, harmonies out the ying yang(yup, i love to sing) really hard bass, guitar doesnt seem that bad from the song, but so hoping it eventually makes it into the game.

and thank you for finally jumping into the rock band game Al, been waiting YEARS for you to get into it. hope to see much more of your stuff there.

Not to mention that crazy-fast vocal bridge.

Would you look at all that stuff...

*big inhale*

I have been trying to get the "Hardware Store" vocal bridge in one breath for nearly 15 years now...

...still can't do it. ;_;

Looking forward to this making it to Rock Band! Sounds like it'll work well.
