'Weird Al' Yankovic Shades Kid Rock's 'Parody Video' With A Blunt Clarification
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
“Weird Al” Yankovic wants everyone to know he had nothing to do with Kid Rock’s latest ranty video.
Yankovic tweeted:
To everybody that's congratulating me right now on my new Kid Rock parody video, let me clarify - that's not me. That's actually Kid Rock.

Kid Rock’s new song and video, “Don’t Tell Me How to Live,” is an attack on “snowflakes.”
But the extensive list of complaints makes Kid Rock look like a snowflake himself as he rages against “millennials.”
“Talkin’ all that bullshit!” he whines into the camera near the start of the song.
He also flies around straddling a giant finger while firing a gun in a song and video that so closely resembles a parody that many commenters mockingly congratulated Yankovic. (Contains some very NSFW language and images.)
“You nailed it, Weird Al!” wrote one.
“Finally a new weird Al video!” wrote another.
Yankovic’s response on Twitter had fans in stitches:
Please alert the authorities about a murder here on Twitter. https://t.co/LvlDMHuna5

Oh my god I just watched it and it really is like a Weird Al parody of a Kid Rock song.
He talks about offended millennials even though that means "adults under 40" now! The guy who says "ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live" looks like Zach Galifianakis doing a bit! https://t.co/jwCOXKd95G— Daniel J. Willis (@BayAreaData) November 22, 2021
Weird Al never misses. 🐐 https://t.co/Pgy0vOf4K2
