Where would I get the card? I'm assuming through iTunes directly?

Actually they sell them at places like Walmart and even some grocery stores. I think you'd find it in the electronics section (or in some cases near the register...) But if you really have trouble finding it, just ask someone in the store. I know i've seen them in there before.

heres something your really gonna want to know, click on the Redeem code thing and enter your code, then a thing will come up to make an itunes account, make it from the windows that comes up and it will bring you to the normal register thing from there, if you don;'t do it that way, you will need to enter a credit card and everything, if you enter the code and click register from the window that comes up after you enter the code, there will be a "none" option after the credit cards, it took us like 2 hours to figure it out.

I'd rather have a physical cd for the time being.
Mandatory link to the Al on Tom Green video!

And really? You can get an iTunes store account with no payment method? Do you have to be phisically in the US to do that?

Ok. I think I was a little hesitant this morning when I said I thought the song was lame. I got it at 4:00 this morning and listened to it right away and wasn't instantly impressed. I've listened to it several times today and it's starting to grow on me. Thing is, WYL and W&N are back to back on my ipod so whenever the song ends and W&N kicks in I still believe that W&N beats it.

I think the main problem I had and the reason that I didn't instantly like it is because in the original, every verse of the chorus rhymes with "like" to some extent. You know the hard "I" sound. Al's version mixes this and he has verses in the chorus that don't rhyme like that so after listening to the original it has a very strange sound to it. Cheese doesn't rhyme with Like.

I think the song is definitely a clever original theme. I was worried it would be a song about Food or Television. Unfortunately for Al, I don't think the song is going to chart. Do to the fact that the die hard Al fans for the most part all have the same initial reaction that the song is not one of his best, I don't know if the general population will give it a chance and take it in and praise it like White and Nerdy. I do believe that Al did a pretty good job for a song that was completely written and performed in two weeks. Although the fact that I knew that might have had me going in with low expectations. The fact is, even though the original is number 1, it's not really a song that was good for parody in my opinion

Whether or not the song charts or is well received, I hope it won't deter Al from trying this method again perhaps with a better song. I will buy any song that Al puts out.
