I like to imagine that when Weird Al was listing to Royals for the first time, right when she gets to the “My friends and I we’ve cracked the code” line, it was at that very moment he knew he needed to do a version of this song.
That shift was the high point of the Mandatory Fun album for me, and I think Mandatory Fun is maybe his best album.
At the pre-party before Weird Al’s show at Radio City Music Hall, they had rolls of aluminum foil out for people to make hats with.
