To produce it, he brought in former The McCoys guitarist Rick Derringer, who also produced Yankovic's first album. In October 1983, Yankovic began recording his second album at Santa Monica Sound Recorders, in Santa Monica, California. "Eat It" won a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Performance Single or Album, Spoken or Musical in 1985. The album was Yankovic's first Gold record, and went on to be certified Platinum for sales of over one million copies in the United States. The album also produced two minor US hits, "King of Suede", which peaked at number sixty-two, and " I Lost on Jeopardy", which peaked at number eighty-one. "Eat It" also charted at number one in Australia, making it Yankovic's only number one single in any country. This song was Yankovic's highest charting single until " White & Nerdy" from his 2006 album Straight Outta Lynwood peaked at number nine in the OctoBillboard charts.

The album also produced one of Yankovic's most famous singles, " Eat It" (a parody of Michael Jackson's " Beat It"), which peaked at number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100. "Weird Al" Yankovic in 3-D was met with mostly positive reviews and peaked at number seventeen on the Billboard 200 and number sixty-one in Australia. A similar pastiche of hit songs, set to polka music, has since appeared on nearly all of Yankovic's albums. The album is also notable for being the first album released by Yankovic to include a polka medley of hit songs. Also, the accordion was no longer used in every song, but only where deemed appropriate or comically inappropriate. This album marked a musical departure from Yankovic's self-titled debut, in that the arrangements of the parodies were now closer to the originals. These style parodies include imitations of artists such as Bob Marley and the B-52s. The other half of the album contains many "style parodies", musical imitations that come close to but do not directly copy a specific work by existing artists. Half of the album is made up of parodies of artists like Michael Jackson, Men Without Hats, the Greg Kihn Band, the Police, and Survivor. The album is built around parodies and pastiches of pop and rock music of the mid-1980s. Recorded between October and December 1983, the album was Yankovic's follow-up to his modestly successful debut LP, "Weird Al" Yankovic. The album was one of many produced by former The McCoys guitarist Rick Derringer. "Weird Al" Yankovic in 3-D (often referred to simply as In 3-D) is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter "Weird Al" Yankovic, released on February 28, 1984, by Rock 'n Roll Records.
