Weird Al Vegetarian: Yankovic Sings “Chicken Pot Pie”
Written by Vegetarian Star on October 2nd, 2008 in Male Musicians, Male Singers.
Weird Al Yankovic is a vegetarian. No, really. He definitely makes tofu very white and nerdy.
The performer who is known for his parodies was once asked by Paul McCartney when he was going to make fun of him. That’s right. McCartney wondered when one of his songs would be remade by Yankovic.
A little later, Yankovic, a vegetarian, asked Paul for permission to use the song, “Live and Let Die,” for a song called, “Chicken Pot Pie.” Paul said no, because it dealt with eating meat, but Yankovic used it anyway because apparently he didn’t need Paul’s permission after all, he was just trying to be nice.
When we were young, Bernie’s Deli was down the block
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
He made a great liver pate
(You know he did, you know he did, you know he did)
But if there’s one thing in this world that I like better
Than a corned beef on rye
It’s Chicken Pot Pie
Chicken Pot Pie
[chorus of chicken-cluck imitations]
“Chicken Pot Pie,” by the strange man who turned vegan after a fan gave him the book, “Diet For A New America,” by John Robbins.
