If you've ever filled up on bread at a fancy restaurant, forgotten your gardener's name, lost Wi-Fi capability in your giant house or gotten too little foam in your fancy Starbucks drink, you just might relate a little too much to Weird Al Yankovic's music video for his new song "First World Problems."
Today (July 19), the comedic musical genius released his latest music video for the "woe is me" anthem from his latest album Mandatory Fun over on PopCrush.
Donning a medium-length blonde wig to help confuse his identity a bit, Yankovic experiences a day in the life of someone with too much money and too many little problems.
Playing off the humble brag and popular millennial phrase "first world problems," Yankovic's character experiences a number of inconveniences like inconsistent shower temperatures (after an hour and maid cleaning), having to spend more money to get free Amazon shipping and not having a bill small enough to get a Snickers from the vending machine.
For a song done in the musical style of the Pixies, Yankovic cleverly plays of 1990s wandering music videos, with the self-absorbed protagonist living out the song lyrics word for word.
Until he gets hit by a car...
