Comedy recording artist Weird Al Yankovic stars in a SmashUp video card from American Greetings that shares fun-filled greetings with fast-moving, hilarious content. Sending happy birthday wishes is more fun than before thanks to an over-the-top greeting experience that includes the recipient's name and age.
The video kicks off with a subdued Yankovic seated in a dark leather chair at a traditional desk, then a pop-up barbershop quartet joins, along with a gospel choir, balloons, confetti and a large personalized cake. The SmashUp experience can be had through the SmashUps app and Blue Mountain ecards app for iPhone and Android.
This personalized video card birthday greeting shares a performance of Happy Birthday to You, now in the public domain, as well as an original composition that's unmistakably by Yankovic.
