A petition has started on Change.org hoping to secure "Weird Al" Yankovic to perform at the Super Bowl XLIX halftime show next year.
This year has been a landmark for the parody singer, with new album Mandatory Fun becoming his first to reach the No.1 spot in the US. As a result, it wouldn't be too unreasonable to hope that he could play the Super Bowl, also more to the point, it would be a million times better than The Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Bruno Mars.

Currently the petition has secured 2,961 supporters, with 2,039 to go - so get signing. Seriously it's a good cause, who wouldn't want to see 'Amish Paradise' or 'Wheels on the Bus' live.

"For decades Weird Al has entertained fans, young and old, with his popular clever parodies and unique sense of humor," reads the petition. "Having him headline the Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show. would not only be overly accepted by the millions of views, but it would remain true to the standards and quality of the show business we have come to love and respect out of this prestigious event."
"The songs of artists that he is parodying could join him on stage to accompany, as well as other surprise appearances from well-known actors/actresses, adding more prestige and star power. The theatrics alone would be hilarious and a welcoming change, and draw a wider audience of fans that typically would not tune into the championship game or half-time show."
