All I see is Kathy Griffin and George Carlin.
Whoa. I need to get those.
But I don't see Al.

Oh, Al is there, right at the top. Unless it's just the US store?

Jesus Christ I can't believe I read 2 pages worth of back-and-forth bitching.
"He should've gotten a banner!"
"No, he shouldn't!"
"You're obsessive!"
"No, you are!"
(Repeat above about five times)
"It got a crappy chart ranking because it was released a whole 24 hours after it was meant to!"
"It wasn't crappy!"
"Oh look, he has a banner!"
"Let's be best friends!"

104 is incredibly good for a song that wasn't promoted outside a couple of online blogs, this forum and word of mouth. Especially for a parody of a crappy rap song that was nowhere near as well-received as White & Nerdy or any of Al's previous singles.

GTF over it.

Ok, who spiked your coffee, or whatever the hell you like to drink, with vinegar?

Let's just hope it starts to do better now.

Ok, I admit that was funny.

What was the benefit of him giving them the exclusive then? Unless he just really enjoys a lower royalty rate and copy protection.

Personally, I don't understand why there needed to be an exclusive at all, but it actually makes more sense from iTunes' perspective to promote it than Al when that's the case.

I stand by what I said: W&N's success spoiled us. Our expectations were too high. We all need to realize this. If we do, a better World of Weird Al Yankovic it will be...If not, we're tearing down the forum and replacing it...

Oh, please, no! I'm one of the people who liked the song right off the bat. I was not comparing it to White and Nerdy, or anything else. I do not want to see Darryl Hall's ugly mug instead of Al's face on a banner.

I'll do it! Don't make me!
