Last night, alt-pop hitmakers Portugal. The Man played at Brooklyn's Music Hall Of Williamsburg, and the show ended in an appealingly chaotic way. The group brought two of the all-time great musical comedians, "Weird Al" Yankovic and the Lonely Island's Jorma Taccone, to the stage, and they all covered Rage Against The Machine together.

Look, I don't know what to tell you. Things just happen sometimes. Portugal. The Man and "Weird Al" Yankovic have been buds for years. He has performed with them a bunch of times. He remixed a couple of their songs in 2018. In 2020, Portugal. The Man and "Weird Al" the man released the benefit collaboration "Who's Gonna Stop Me." At the end of last night's show, Yankovic joined the band on their song "Live In The Moment," and then they all performed "Killing In The Name" together, as one does. Jorma Taccone was there, too. He was dressed as Pee Wee Herman.

The top YouTube comment on the video is "Jorma can walk?"

Stereogum also mentions the accident a few months ago.
