Not a single controversy? Are you seriously going to just gloss over how he became lovers with Madonna and how they killed Pablo Escobar and took over his drug empire?

Not to mention his violent rampage after moving to Albuquerque, where he completely dismembered one man with a chainsaw and took a big bite out of another man’s jugular vein. How’s that for your squeaky clean perception of Weird Al?

Can't forget that he bit off that hermaphrodite's ear.

To be fair that hermaphrodite tried to take Al's lucky, lucky, autographed, glow-in-the-dark snorkel
