 | | In 1979, the success of the Knack\'s monster hit "My Sharona" inspired Yankovic to record a parody dubbed "My Bologna"; not only was the song a smash with Demento fans, but it even found favor with the Knack themselves, who convinced their label, Capitol, to issue the satire as a single. |
 | | Additionally, MTV firmly established Yankovic\'s public persona; sporting garish Hawaiian shirts, frizzy hair, and an arsenal of goofy mannerisms, he cut a distinctly bizarre figure which he consistently exploited to maximum comic effect. |
 | | After Michael Jackson\'s "Beat It" became the most acclaimed video in the medium\'s brief history, Yankovic recorded "Eat It" for his sophomore effort, 1984\'s "Weird" Al Yankovic in 3-D; the "Eat It" video, which mocked the "Beat It" clip scene-for-scene, became an MTV smash, and the Grammy-winning single reached the Top 15. |
