Alfred Matthew "Weird Al" Yankovic (born October 23, 1959) is a Grammy Award winning American singer, musician, actor, satirist, parodist, songwriter, music producer, accordionist, and television producer. Yankovic is known in particular for his humorous songs that make light of popular culture and that often parody specific songs by contemporary musical acts.

The cover of his debut album was a parody of the Over-Nite Sensation album cover. Yankovic wrote Genius In France, a homage to Zappa, for his 11th album Poodle Hat in 2003. The track featured Dweezil Zappa on guitar and vocals.
