Hardware Store | 'Weird Al' Yankovic - Chiptune Cover

Показать описание

One of my favorite Weird Al songs. My favorite part is when he says "automatic circumcisers" (yes, really, look up the lyrics).

Sorry for the lack of uploads last month, I had a ton of course work getting in the way, but we should be back to our regularly scheduled programming this summer!

The Hardware Store level was pure chaos, but if you have enough grilled cheese sandwiches and your accordion you can damage-boost through most of the obstacles. Not great for a damageless run and it actually makes the boss at the end of the stage harder.

FYI, automatic circumcisers are used for cigars to cut them. Nonetheless, it's a great cover!

A Weird Al Video game would be so cool! And a Hardware store would be perfect!

Huh, you never really notice that the list in the middle is literally all the same note until you take out the vocals.

The worst part of this level is the freaking saw platforms that drop you down if you stand on them for more than half a second. I mean, there's no-where else in the game they show up, it's just not fair.

Lyrics:

Nothin' ever (ever) happens in this town
Feelin' low down (down), not a lot to do around here
I thought that I would go right out of my mind
Until a friend told me the news
He said, "Hey, you know that vacant lot
Right beside the gas station? Well, somebody bought it
And on that spot they're gonna build a shop
Where we can go buy bolts and screws"
Since then I've been walking on air (air)
I can barely brush my teeth or comb my hair
'Cause I'm so excited and I really don't care
I've been waiting since last June
For this day to finally arrive
I'm so happy (happy) now just to be alive
'Cause any minute now I'm gonna be inside
Well, I hope they open soon

I can't wait, (no I) I can't wait (oh when)
When are they gonna open up that door?
I'm goin' (yes I'm) goin', I'm a-goin' to the
Goin' to the (hard) ware I'm goin', really goin' to the
Goin' (hard) I'm goin' to the (hard) oh yes, I'm goin' to the
Hardware store

In my sleeping bag I camped out overnight
Right in front of the store, then as soon as it was light out
I pressed my nose right up against the glass
You know, I had to be first in line
Gonna get me a flashlight and a broom
Want a pair of pliers for every single room of my house
See those hacksaws? Very, very soon
One of them will be all mine
Guys with nametags walking down the aisles
Rows of garden hoses that go on for miles and miles
Brand new socket wrenches in a plethora of styles
All arranged alphabetically
And they're doing a promotional stunt
There's a great big purple sign out front
That says every 27th customer
Will get a ball peen hammer free

I can't wait, (no I) I can't wait (oh when)
When are they gonna open up that door?
I'm goin' (yes I'm) goin', I'm a-goin' to the
Goin' to the (hard) ware I'm goin', really goin' to the
Goin' (hard) I'm goin' to the (hard) oh yes, I'm goin' to the
Hardware store
I'm goin' (yes I'm) goin', I'm a-goin' to the
Goin' to the (hard) ware I'm goin', really goin' to the
Goin' (hard) I'm goin' to the (hard) oh yes, I'm goin' to the

i'm a week or so in to an Al rabbit hole, thank you for the fresh content! Love what you did with the "calm before the storm" and the explosion-y sounds!

Hardware Man's stage music is something else man. It make Quick Man and Turbo Man jealous. Instant sub!
Can we get a 16-bit version too? Please?

MrStrikecentral

Omg i love it.
One of his most underrated songs, I'm a plumber so it hits home for me😂

Galamoth

Found this in my recommended, hoping it reaches other's too. This is seriously awesome!

aj_is_cool

it's kinda funny to me how the hardest part to sing is easily the simplest to transcribe in a cover like this (which like I saw you mentioning elsewhere doesn't necessarily make it easy to cover, it's hard to do it justice without the lyrics)
