As a wise man once said, "The best achievement in journalism isn't getting an award. It's getting killed by the CIA."
I never knew that Weird Al could make parodies so deep yet over the top.
The fact that it’s pretty much guaranteed at least one CIA Agent has heard this song at some point in history gives me immense amounts of joy
This song got a lot less funny when I started working on an archive of Guatemalan human rights abuses. But that's not Al's fault--it just takes it from song parody to his always underappreciated TRUE mastery, black comedy. Literally everything that he brings up in this song is either real, or within like two degrees of reality.
"we only torture the folks we don't like, you're probably gonna be ok" lol that line gets me every time.
I can’t help but think at least one CIA office party played this song.
I saw Weird Al in a small venue last year. He played his original songs rather than parodies. He and his band were phenomenal, even doing a capella.
CIA didn’t take this down yet cause the song is so good
being an agent for the CIA pros: it's a party cons: can't have weird al's swaggy hair
It's a Party in the TSA
this video was animated not because of the gore, it was because no barber was brave enough to defile Al's voluminous locks
I can't believe they made an organization based on this song. Impressive.
"We only torture the folks we don't like, you're probably gonna be OK" Scary thing is that this line is probably completely true.
I love how Weird Al parodies have more variety in their lyrics than the originals
at 1:39 he leaves the classified documents out in the open which is probably why he was captured
No person can dispute this simple fact, Weird Al is a lyrical genius.
“We only torture the folks we don’t like, you’re probably gonna be ok” PROBABLY
”Why did you apply for the central intelligence agency?” Me: ”snazzy suits and ties”
I am convinced that weird al is some sort of immortal, all powerful being that no one can control, but instead of destroying the world he just uses it to live forever and make awesome music
