John Mulaney recently expressed his ongoing support for 'Weird Al' Yankovic to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In a Rolling Stone interview, Mulaney championed 'Weird Al' for his role in making music more accessible to a wider audience, similar to Chubby Checkerâs contributions. He shared a personal anecdote about how 'Smells Like Nirvana' helped him appreciate Nirvana's original hit, demonstrating how humor in music can serve as an entry point for listeners. Mulaney's comments reignite discussions about inclusion in the Hall of Fame.
I'm a big proponent of novelty music. I'm a big proponent of 'Weird Al' getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 'Weird Al' brought more people to music than is recognized at all.
If Chubby Checker made this cut this year with his 'part novelty' career about twisting, this is one step closer to his comedy hero also making the cut.
