Weird Al is back with his new album Mandatory Fun that released July 15th. This follows up on his 2011 release of Alpocalypse with the hit "Polka Face." To kick off his new album, he has released his first music video titled "Tacky" that is a parody of Pharrell Williams hit song "Happy."

The "Tacky" music video features several special guest cameos including Aisha Tyler, Margaret Cho, Eric Stonestreet, Kristen Schaal and Jack Black. You can watch the video exclusively on Nerdist HERE. 

Weird Al will release a new music video each day from his new album including songs like "Word Crimes," "Foil," and "Handy". You can check out the full tracklist for Mandatory Fun below. 

Will Mandatory Fun be his final studio album? The comic songwriter posted on his blog last year that, since the album is his last under his current record contract, he's "weighing his options." 

Weird Al Mandatory Fun Tracklist:

01 "Handy"
02 "Lame Claim To Fame"
03 "Foil"
04 "Sports Song"
05 "Word Crimes"
06 "My Own Eyes"
07 "NOW That's What I Call Polka!"
08 "Mission Statement"
09 "Inactive"
10 "First World Problems"
11 "Tacky"
12 "Jackson Park Express"

His works have earned him three Grammy Awards and a further 11 nominations, four gold records, and six platinum records in the United States. Yankovic's first top ten Billboard album (Straight Outta Lynwood) and single ("White & Nerdy") were both released in 2006, nearly three decades into his career.
