“Weird Al” Yankovic’s biopic Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is streaming on the Roku Channel as of today. To accompany the film, “Weird Al” has released a companion soundtrack featuring newly recorded versions of his classic tracks as well as a new song called “Now You Know.” Stream it below.
“Now You Know” plays during the credits at the end of Weird, so naturally, the lyrics address the tell-all quality of the (faux) biopic. “You know all my dirty secrets ’cause we spilled all the tea/ There’s nothing left to hide, baby/ How you like the real me?” Yankovic asks over a funky rock and roll guitar. After all, “If it’s in a movie, it’s got to be true.”
Among songs newly recorded by “Weird Al” are “My Bologna,” “Another One Rides the Bus,” “Eat It,” “Like a Surgeon,” and Amish Paradise.” Additionally, the soundtrack features the original score composed by Leo Birenberg and Zach Robinson, who previously helmed the score for Cobra Kai
Before you stream the film/soundtrack, however, we should clarify that the “biopic” is, in typical “Weird Al” fashion, more of a parody of the genre than a harrowing tale of Yankovic’s life — complete with a million celebrity cameos that bolster the mockumentary’s fantastical vibe.
