Weird Al Yankovic, "Tacky"
(Nerdist)

Weird Al Yankovic's latest album, Mandatory Fun, is out today—and to celebrate, the parody artist is releasing eight music videos in eight days, Nerdist reports. Yesterday's was "Tacky," a parody of Pharrell's "Happy" that features Jack Black, Kristen Schaal, Margaret Cho, Eric Stonestreet, and Aisha Tyler—plus Al, of course—in their tackiest outfits, singing or lip-syncing to lyrics like, "I would live-tweet a funeral, take selfies with the deceased." Based on Al's website, today's video will be "Word Crimes"—Vulture took a look at the album's track list last week, and guessed "Word Crimes" would be a parody of Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines."
