Weird Al Yankovic is oh-so "Handy," and he wants you to know it. In his continued series of releasing one new music video every day for eight straight days in support of his new album Mandatory Fun, today (July 17), the legendary funnyman released a hilarious clip for his much talked about Iggy Azalea "Fancy" parody.
Donning a short blonde wig to cover up his glorious curly mane, Yankovic takes on a big variety of "Handy" household tasks, showing off his screwdriver skills. He mows the lawn, fixes a few rusty pipes, hammers some wood (and his thumb) and even glues dat and screws dat, just for some rapping emphasis.
The new music video for Yankovic's "Handy" isn't the first time his take on the Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX parody has made headlines. As a part of his courtesy of asking for an artist's blessing before taking on one of their hits, Yankovic had to "ambush" Azalea before a Denver concert, something he discussed in Music Times' recent interview.
"I didn't actually meet [Azalea's road manager], but asked the promoter if I could talk to her - told the promoter she had to prepare for her show. 'She goes on in two and a half hours so she can't talk to Weird Al,' they said. I flew all the way from Los Angeles to Denver to talk to her and she can't do it? Then they told me she's going to be in the UK next month and I could meet her there, which is crazy. So, all that was why I had to finally just go up and, as TMZ says, 'ambush' her," he explained.

"Handy" is a new song from Yankovic's 14th studio album Mandatory Fun, which dropped on Tuesday, July 15. Earlier this week, he released videos for his Pharrell Williams parody "Tacky," his take on Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" with "Word Crimes" and a Lorde parody "Foil."
