Weird Al Yankovic's Awkward TV Show Themed Emmy Performance

View fullsize

When I watched Weird Al Yankovic's Emmy Award performance, I honestly didn't know what to think. Don't get me wrong, I love Weird Al, but there was just something very awkward and off about watching his performance. He performed a medley of TV theme songs with added lyrics.

He riffed on the theme songs for shows such as Mad Men, Scandal, Homeland, Modern Family, and Game of Thrones, the lyrics he wrote for each one amusingly described the plot of the show. At one point Andy Samberg even joined him on stage. It was easily one of the stranger parts of the Emmy Awards ceremony. The best part was when he was singing to George R.R. Martin to type as fast as he could in regards to Game of Thrones.

In the end I think if could have been better. It was more strange that it was funny. In case you missed it you can watch it below. 

Weird Al Yankovic and Andy Samberg put a literal twist on the theme songs of the year's biggest nominees at the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards. " Subscribe to NBC: http://full.sc/y8sIqD " Watch the 66th Emmy Awards Live!
