Weird Al Takes On Lorde With 'Foil' (VIDEO)

As part of his #8videos8das initiative to promote his new album, Mandatory Fun, Weird Al Yankovic is continuing to release one new music video each day for the next eight days. Monday featured the release of "Tacky" (a parody of "Happy" by Pharrell Williams) while Tuesday featured the release of "Word Crimes" (a parody of "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams, and T.I.). So how is Weird Al going to top those two for this Weird Wednesday?

By tackling Lorde, naturally.

In "Foil," a parody of "Royals," Weird Al explores the many uses of foil: from saving food to making hats for spouting off insane conspiracy theories. It's classic Weird Al, in that it's just plain, unadulterated silliness. And it's wonderful. Check out the full video below:
