Weird Al Yankovic 'Mandatory Fun' Video Day Three: 'Foil' Video Parody of Lorde's 'Royals' About Storing Food With Aluminum Foil, Aliens : Guest Starring Patton Oswald and Tom Lennon [VIDEO]

So it's day three of Weird Al Yankovic's eight music video release from his most recent album "Mandatory Fun," and today he has released "Foil," a parody of Lorde's Royals. Lorde's anthem decrying excess and wealth, "Royals," was turned into an ode to aluminum foil.

Weird Al Yankovic teamed up with College Humor to release this video, their post read, "COLLEGEHUMOR EXCLUSIVE: We partnered with "Weird Al" Yankovic to create this music video for his new album, "Mandatory Fun.""

Watch below for the singer's latest parody which starts like any other with a quick switch of a familiar phrase. Al changes up the addictive "we'll never be royals" hook to "with aluminium foil" and names all the ways one can keep food fresh with it.

Then, out of nowhere, the song takes a hard left turn into lizard people, the illuminati, and government conspiracies probably involving aliens. Its kind of a double Weird Al, where he turns royal into foil and foil into aliens.

 Look out for comedian and Billy on the Street guest star Patton Oswalt playing a lizard person, also Tom Lennon playing the man in black.

Comments on the video ranged from talking about conspiracy theory nuts, or celebrating Weird Al's return to form. (his last album was 2011) One commenter said, "With so much Illuminati insanity out there, can you really blame Al for poking fun at some of it?  C'mon people.  The Illuminati doesn't "sacrifice" celebrities who die in car accidents or from a drug overdoses, and Justin Bieber isn't a shape-shifting reptillian. "

Another said, "Oh hell yeah, this is what I'm talking about. Feels like a deep Weird Al cut from the late 80s, so glad this is happening right now..."

Watch the new Weird Al Yankovic video below and keep coming back. This is only day three of eight in Weird Al Yankovic's video releases for "Mandatory Fun." The first release was "Tacky" a parody of Pharrell's "Happy" and the second was "Word Crimes" a parody of "Blurred Lines."  Check back every day for the latest.
