If you listened to the radio or watched television in the last 20 years, the propability that you do NOT know “Weird Al” is rather low. Just like Mr. Phelps marrying Rupert Everett, I’d estimate. Here you can see his first television appearance on the legendary “Tomorro Show” with Tom Snyder. Tom Snyder was famous to feature all kind of performers, all punk stars you can think of visited him for example. One of the most bizarre interviews was with Kim Fowley, manager of “The Runaways”, an all-girl punk band. “May I say, Kim,” Tom Snyder said to the heavily rouged Kim Fowley, “You look ridiculous tonight!”
You can see “Weird Al” performing his second single together with Jon “Bermuda” Schwartz, the man drumming on his accordion case. This was their first collaboration. Schwartz still plays the drums on every Yankovic track and maintains his website, too.
