Weird Al Yankovics Tiny Desk Concert is an absolute treat

'Weird Al' Yankovic on Tiny Desk Concert? It happened. Again.

Weird Al Yankovics Tiny Desk Concert is an absolute treat

Weird Al Yankovic returned to NPR's Tiny Desk Concert for a second time, delighting audiences with a lively performance. The music icon and parody master showcased his skills with eight musicians, performing hits ranging from "Skipper Dan" reminiscent of Weezer to a parody of Backstreet Boys titled "eBay," culminating in an epic Star Wars-inspired rendition of "American Pie" called "The Saga Begins."

This is not Weird Al's first visit to the Tiny Desk stage; he performed an original set in 2010, which led to his invitation back after 16 years. During the recent concert, he expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "It's really great to be back at Tiny Desk. We did play here in 2010 and apparently we did so great they invited us back 16 years later."

The full performance is available to watch on NPR's YouTube channel. For those interested in more film and TV updates, signing up for Mashable's Top Stories newsletter or enabling push alerts is recommended.
