Alfred Matthew "Weird Al" Yankovic (born October 23, 1959) is best known for creating comedy songs that make light of pop culture and often parody specific songs by contemporary musicians, as well as amazing originals. Since having a comedy song aired on The Dr. Demento Radio Show in 1976 at age 16, Yankovic has sold more than 12 million albums (as of 2015), recorded more than 150 parodies and original songs, and performed more than 1,000 live shows. His work has earned him five Grammy Awards and a further 11 nominations, four gold records and six platinum records in the U.S. His first top ten Billboard album (Straight Outta Lynwood) and single ("White & Nerdy") were both released in 2006, nearly three decades into his career. His latest album, Mandatory Fun (2014), became his first number-one album during its debut week. So, for his birthday, let's have a laugh, an listen to "Trapped In The Drive-Thru".
