This song is good, and it definitely benefits from a speedy release. Not only because it hits the height of popularity of the original, but because everybody is talking about the economy right now.

Why isn't this song featured on the front page of the iTunes store?

Actually I used to get free cable for years including HBO... now I have no cable because the neighbors got ATT fiberoptics... :(

I had never heard the original song before this week (looked it up on youtube when I heard what the parody would be of). The song itself isn't really that good...and I think the parody is quite a bit better than the original.

It's not bad though...definitely worth my 99 cents (first song download I've ever bought on iTunes).

I dunno, a lot of times, if I don't like the original, I always end up liking Al's song better. This is one of those times.

I haven't had White Castle in years, but I can definitely relate.
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

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

So awesome!

Most likely, as long as it's done well.

The music of the original isn't that bad. But, I feel with Al's transition, it was degraded slightly. I kinda wish that he had kept it or even surpassed (as he has done many times before) the level of the source material. Other than that, I like it.

Hey, the song is charting 70 in the top 100 overall songs!

No thanks to iTunes promoting it, though!
