Is "Weird Al" Yankovic still pretty fly for a rabbi? Does he still want us to eat it? These are questions that have plagued the human race for years, and we may finally be getting some answers. After a bit of a break from the public eye, Yankovic announced on Twitter today that he'll be embarking on a massive world tour. 

Dubbed the Mandatory World Tour, a record 88 shows and counting will be kicking off with a five-night residency at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas this May. The tour is named after Yankovic's 2014 album Mandatory Fun, but according to the teaser video that accompanied the announcement, audiences can expect a mix of new and old jams. The clip also promises that the concerts will be the "greatest musical spectacle ever seen." But again, this is coming from the guy who spent an entire song rapping about his trip on a public bus, so take everything about this with a grain of salt.

For those die-hard fans who are willing to shell out for a chance to see "Couch Potato" performed live, find the entire list of dates here. And don't worry, more shows will be added in the coming days, in case you want to sing along to "White & Nerdy" all across the globe.
