Thousands Petitioning to Have "Weird Al" Yankovic Play the Super Bowl
The Super Bowl halftime show is America's most-watched concert each year and meant for only the superest superstars in the music business—and that's why thousands have lent their support in hopes of getting "Weird Al" Yankovic to play it.
A Change.org petition has garnered attention for boasting more than 4,500 signatures in a plea to get the comedian-musician to perform at the upcoming Super Bowl XLIX. The petition reads:
For decades Weird Al has entertained fans, young and old, with his popular clever parodies and unique sense of humor. Having him headline the Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show would not only be overly accepted by the millions of view[er]s, but it would remain true to the standards and quality of the show business we have come to love and respect [from] this prestigious event. The artists of songs that he is parodying could [accompany] him onstage, as well as other surprise appearances from well-known actors/actresses, adding more prestige and star power. The theatrics alone would be hilarious and a welcome change, and draw a wider audience of fans that typically would not tune into the championship game or halftime show.
