"Weird Al" Yankovic Megathread - Now with music video goodness.

[MegaScientifical]

Ladies first.

His new stuff is stuff because he based it off stuff. He based it off things that are already considered bad by many people just because that's how they got attention. His older parodies were based off songs that only got bad from being overused, having been considered good. He's buying into stuffstorms and I hate it.

It's still Weird Al. The "Get the forget out" comment was oh-so uneccesary.

He lost his ability to tell the difference between popularity through being liked and popularity though being controversial. He is parodying controversial music instead of liked music. I denounce him for this stuff.

Then YOU get out, if you hate what he does so much now.

The point of parodying unpopular songs is because it makes them funny instead of stupid.

[MegaScientifical]

The point of parodying music is for it to be listened to and liked. I will not like any tune, beat, or melody originating from Lady Gaga. She is part of the rebel alliance and a traitor. Take him away.

Perform this way is a great song, alongside the original.

Put links to his parodies in op please.
