Today's Morning Edition music is from Weird Al Yankovic's 1984 song "Eat It," his parody of Michael Jackson's hit "Beat It."
Since his start 40 years ago, he's become the best-selling comedy musician in history. He's sold more than 12 million albums and won four Grammys.
He'll be performing Friday at the State Theatre in Minneapolis on his Mandatory World tour. Tickets for the show sold out shortly after they went on sale with some fetching almost $300.
