The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Fat" by the artist ""Weird Al" Yankovic"

Contents

"Weird Al" Yankovic's song "Fat" is a parody of Michael Jackson's "Bad." Instead of singing about being "bad," "Weird Al" sings about being "fat," satirizing society's obsession with appearance and beauty standards.

The meaning of the lyrics lies in the exaggerated description of his own weight and size. He uses sarcasm and dark humor to highlight the absurdity of the situation and stereotypes associated with obesity. For example, he sings about having to buy seven seats at the movies, sidewalks breaking under his feet, and his shadow weighing 42 pounds.

However, despite the ironic tone, there is a deeper meaning to the song. "Weird Al" is not ashamed of being overweight; on the contrary, he accepts himself for who he is. He asks not to be called euphemisms ("chubby," "plump," "heavyset"), but to be directly called "fat," showing that he is not afraid of the word and does not consider it an insult.

Ultimately, the song encourages listeners to treat themselves and others with humor, not to dwell on appearances, and to appreciate individuality.

Your butt is wide, well mine is too.

Just watch your mouth, or I'll sit on you.

The word is out, better treat me right,

Cause I'm the king of cellulite.

Ham on ham on ham on whole wheat, all right.

My zippers bust, my buckles break.

I'm too much man for you to take.

The pavement cracks when I fall down.

I've got more chins than Chinatown.

Well I've never used a phone booth,

And I've never seen my toes.

When I'm goin' to the movies

I take up seven rows.

Because I'm fat, I'm fat — come on.

(Fat fat — really really fat)

You know I'm fat, I'm fat

You know it.

(Fat fat — really really fat)

You know I'm fat, I'm fat

Come on you know.

(Fat fat — really really fat)

Don'tcha call me pudgy, portly or stout.

Just tell me once again: Who's fat?

When I walk out to get my mail,

It measures on the Richter scale.

Down at the beach I'm a lucky man.

I'm the only one who gets a tan.

If I have one more pie a la mode

I'm gonna need my own zip code.

When you're only having seconds,

I'm having twenty-thirds.

When I go to get my shoes shined,

I gotta take their word.

Because I'm fat, I'm fat — come on.

(Fat fat — really really fat)

You know I'm fat, I'm fat

You know it.

(Fat fat — really really fat)

You know I'm fat, I'm fat

Come on you know.

(Fat fat — really really fat)

And my shadow weighs forty-two pounds.

Lemme tell you once again who's fat...

If you see me comin' your way,

Better give me plenty space.

If I tell you that I'm hungry,

Then won't you feed my face?

Because I'm fat, I'm fat — come on.

(Fat fat — really really fat)

You know I'm fat, I'm fat — you know it.

(Fat fat — really really fat)

You know I'm fat, I'm fat — you know it you know.

(Fat fat — really really fat)

Woo woo woo, When I sit around the house,

I really sit around the house.

You know I'm fat, I'm fat — come on.

(Fat fat — really really fat)

You know I'm fat, I'm fat — you know it, you know it.

(Fat fat — really really fat)

You know you know you know — come on.

(Fat fat — really really fat)

And you know all by myself I'm a crowd.

Lemme tell you once again...

You know I'm huge,

I'm fat, you know it.

(Fat fat — really really fat)

You know I'm fat — you know, hoo.

(Fat fat — really really fat)

You know I'm fat, I'm fat — you know it, you know.

(Fat fat — really really fat)

And the whole world knows I'm fat and I'm proud.

Just tell me once again — who's fat?
