" My initial reaction to being sent the video for Weird Al Yankovic&amp;#039;s latest song parody &amp;quot;Tacky&amp;quot; (spoofing Pharrell&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Happy&amp;quot;) was to just roll my eyes. It had been a long time since I had really been thrilled at the prospect of anything from the musician&amp;#039;s wacky oeuvre. However there was certainly a time when I thought Yankovic was quite the clever wordsmith. Interestingly, it took about 15 seconds to have all those feelings come flooding back as Weird Al\u2014all of this being part of an eight day release of singles from his latest outing &amp;quot;Mandatory Fun&amp;quot;\u2014mocks bad taste and those who have it. He notes the sartorial iteration of this by mentioning socks and sandals, Crocs, and clashing patterns as visual touchstones of being tacky. Is it a nuanced, insightful take on the subject? No. Is it pretty damn funny? Why, yes. Yes it is. Somehow Weird Al still delivers. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
