I think some of you may know him, I just discovered him thanks to some Stick animations (don't ask me the link betwenn him and that... :P), and I just wanted to share in case of you don't know him...

His most known videos are remakes of famous songs, giving them much more... charm :)

Weird Al - I bought on Ebay (original song : "I want it that way" by the Backstreet Boys)
Weird Al - White & Nerdy (original song : "Ridin'" by Chamillionaire)
Weird Al - Like a Surgeon (original song : "Like a Virgin" by Madonna)
Weird Al - Amish Paradise (original song : "Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio)
Weird Al - I lost at Jeopardy (original song : "Jeopardy" by Greg Kihn)

I usually just can't bear rap songs, but I am totally hooked with those ones.. :1st:
