Did this happen? Hard to believe. I went to one of his shows and he barely played any of his hits. A guy up a few rows knew the words to everything he sang. But no where in any of it was he anything but pleasant.
Edit: Well shit. If Al has had enough then its time Rally 'round the family With a pocket full of shells.
looks like it's true... in Brooklyn

I think it was Portugal's concert, Weird Al and Jorma Taccone were guests
I can't understand a word they're saying, except maybe Burn Crosses

Oh so it's not a Weird Al parody they're actually covering it lmao
Yep, that's why it's a bit freaky.
It was at a Portugal The Man show, with them, while their main singer was dressed as Pee Wee Herman, but they're 100% serious.
The only video is a vertical cell phone camera and you can't see shit.

At about 3 minutes in, they turn off the stripper lights and just happen to pan to Weird Al enough that you can recognize him. There's a other long haired guy next to him and it's pretty hard to tell them apart most of the time.
