Alfred Matthew Yankovic (Downey, EE.UU., 23-10-1959) es el músico, compositor y comediante norteamericano que se ha destacado, principalmente, por sus logradas parodias hacia distintos hits del cancionero del rock and roll mundial y sus intérpretes (por caso Smells like nirvana). Acordionista, tecladista y vocalista, Wired Al se volcó al escenario artístico tras advertir que "lo suyo" no tenía nada que ver con el título de arquitecto que había obtenido por la Universidad Politécnica estatal de California San Luis Obispo.
