This Weezer tribute takes a while to get going, but wait for the two part harmony, it’s worth it.
Follow up:
He’s really a pretty good singer, which I actually think detracts from the Weezer tribute because I prefer a train wreck or the real thing. Of course, the accordion is awesome, it’s hard not to make a great tribute with accordion though, good or bad it’s going to be spectacular. But it’s when he starts singing with himself that the video starts to really shine. It’s one of those things that makes you think, did he mean to be a genus there or was it by complete accident? Cracked me up though.
The Tale of Wild Baloney Bill
The thing I really liked about it though was that he reminded me a little bit of this guy I went to High School with named Wild Baloney Bill. Named, of course, because of his penchant for baloney sandwiches. If he breathed into his palm the baloney particles would actually coalesce into a solid baloney chunk. But Baloney Bill had the same sort of style, a dingy wife beater performance kind of style.
Legend had it the Wild Baloney Bill being a true wild man, didn’t learn to speak until he was six or seven. He communicated through a series of grunts. Like if he wanted more peas he would point to the peas and grunt “Perpa Gabba!” It was like a twin language sans twin. I’m note entirely sure what really become of Wild Baloney Bill, perhaps he packed it all up and moved to Vermont. Perhaps he made YouTube videos after not leaving his house for months. Perhaps he’s somewhere eating his Perpa Gabba lamenting the twin he never had.
I like to think Wild Baloney Bill is riding off into the sunset eating a baloney sandwich and wearing a leather jacket with fringed sleeves. The fringe is blowing in the breeze and a storm is on the horizon.
Most likely he’s had a bunch of little Lunch Meat Lennys who are having problems pronouncing the T’s and R’s.
