This was in the Glasgow Daily Record on 7th September. More about Franz Ferdinand but it advertises Weird Al ^^

IT'S SATIRICAL FRANZ
SPOILER IT'S yet another measure of their success. Franz Ferdinand's huge hit Take Me Out has been covered by American satirist Weird Al Yankovic on his new album.
Best known for his Eighties parodies of hits such as Michael Jackson's Beat It, Weird Al has covered the Franz track on Straight Outta Lynwood.
The track, Polkarama, sits alongside parodies of songs by the Black Eyed Peas, Coldplay, Gorillaz, Snoop Dogg and The Pussycat Dolls, among others.

It's possible, but since I found it on the net and it was credited to Glagow's edition of the Daily Record, that's how I've posted it.
