Alfred Matthew "Weird Al" Yankovic is easily the best known of all novelty singers. He writes parodies of popular songs and composes silly original tunes, most of which are accompanied by, among other instruments, his accordion. Weird Al got his start on the Dr. Demento Show, a radio program devoted to odd songs, and since 1983, he has released twelve albums. He also had his own television show (creatively titled "The Weird Al Show") on CBS from 1997 to 1998, and starred in the cult classic film UHF in 1989.

Alfred is the worst name you could get, in my opinion:
There's that nasty song about a nerd called Al. While it's very funny, it doesn't leave you a good impression. Then there's that mean nickname Alfredo. And last, it sounds bad.

This name is growing on me. Like Arthur, it feels more and more noble as I think about its royal beginnings.

What comes to mind is the MAD guy: ''What, me worry?''. I don't like this old-fashioned name, and I hate the nicknames Alf and Alfie. I loathe Fred as well, so there aren't really any redeeming factors to this name.
