I'm trying as hard as I can to turn You're Pitiful into an internet meme.
I'd be happy to help by writing an Uncyclopedia article. Uncyclopedia is a good way to spread memes. So is Fark, but I'm not a member yet. They didn't say ANYTHING about You're Pitiful that I know of. Maybe I'll join.

OK, I'm a member. But I can't post anything for another day. Darn. But I'll see what I can do. I like starting memes. I've done it interschool, never on the web.

Seems like a few other websites have picked it up too. Just do a google and there are a few others. I'd start sending out correcting emails, but I have to leave in a few minutes.
I'm confused, accordion to alsongs.com HMWAR is an Al song, am I missing something :blink:

Meme = A unit of cultural information, such as a cultural practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another. More or less, a fad.

ytmnd = You're the Man Now, Dog. It's a huge internet humor website where many, many fads originate from. Very popular.

Ryan, about the meme thing. I'm with you. I just finished adding to this. Read the bit on You're Pitiful. I don't know if it will get deleted like some of my stuff, but I doubt it.

For those that don't know, Uncyclopedia is a wiki full of useless nonsense, thus the bit about Al having commited suicide. It is a breeding ground for memes, like ytmnd. I'm very good at useless nonsense. :P

:lol: That's good. Hopefully it'll be read by someone who doesn't know the good news yet.

Yes, it is an Al song. Lyrics are also on the Yankovic! site.

Hit Me With a Rock

Now, about that new song: It's great! I think I've heard it about 27 times.
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

If it reaches that kind of status, word will surely spread 100 times faster. I've started by making a ytmnd about the recent Cease and Desist letter written to Max by the church of Scientology. If anyone else wants to try to popularize this song on Something Awful, Fark, Newgrounds, or any of the other big internet humor sites, I'm sure it would do nothing but help Al's record sales.
You're beautiful, iisryan. Really. :D
