🪗🎉🪗 Weird Al (@alyankovic) has made three generations of my family laugh. Thank you! This Reaction Concert is a tribute. It incorporates nearly 80 reactors actively listening to Handy and Amish Paradise. I love the intimacy of the much-less reacted to Handy (my 7 year old son's favorite), followed by the crowd favorite Amish Paradise.

🙏 Thank you to everyone who has shared their reactions to these songs. I love the spirit you all bring! I incorporated too many reactions between the two songs to list here, so I created a playlist that has all the reactions I used: • Reactions to Weird Al's AMISH PARADIS... .

🫨 REACTORS: If you don't want to be included in these concerts in the future, please let me know. I'd like for them to bring your reactions more attention, but I understand if you'd prefer not. Also, I'm not sure on the protocol for tagging you when I publish a concert that features you. Please let me know if it is annoying to get tagged.
🤓 I also drew on this media in the concert to add context:
