Ed Ball came up with the crazy idea of starting an online petition to get Weird Al to perform at Super Bowl XLIX.
Ed’s nutty idea might just work.
Here’s his explanation as to why Weird Al, owner of his first number one album with his recently released Mandatory Fun, should perform on the biggest stage during the biggest sport event of the year.
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 views, but it would remain true to the standards and quality of the show business we have come to love and respect out of this prestigious event. The songs of artists that he is parodying could join him on stage to accompany, 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 welcoming change, and draw a wider audience of fans that typically would not tune into the championship game or half-time show.
