Weird Al Yankovic’s most recent release from his new album “Mandatory Fun” parodies Lorde’s “Royals”- with a kitchen number titled “FOIL.” Sure, it seems to be a flashy kitchen video expounding the virtues of aluminum foil, or aluminum foil if you’re British. Alternately it’s called tin foil if you’re into – making hats!
There is conspiracy afoot, but never fear, the Aluminati have arrived! I suggest you fashion a hat and pull it down around your ears, it’s your only protection from shadow governments, black helicopters, the Illuminati, government shock troops and NSA spying. Laugh now, but who’ll be chuckling when the aliens have revealed themselves, and it’s time to do an..um, a – probe?!
Yankovic’s ‘FOIL’ video is a joint venture with College Humor. Familiar faces are Tom Lennon, Robert Ben Garant and an oddly suspicious Patton Oswalt – who brings a question to mind. Are the reptilian aliens living in the basement of the Vatican or the White House? I’ve read tales where they reside in both locations, but don’t look now – one seems to have escaped!
