Yes, thanks!

A-ha! New song! :D I loved that.

As I expected, Al put inside the song lots and lots of American-only references and details - Tater tots, Kinko's, laundromats, Cold Duck and many others are still the things that would be hardly understandable outside US without dictionary or explanation. - that's why I admire Al even more than I usually do; I mean, he could just put the Titanic song into a cheap-sounding polka and hang it on YouTube, but everybody knows that Al's humor isn't that simple. ;) So, in short, the comedy didn't work for me well, but I learned again something new about your country. And, allow me to reiterate, I absolutely LOVE the idea of Al not changing the original title, it's the weirdest and funniest things he's ever done. :lol: So bravo again for Al, but there's one more thing that I hardly can say, but - AL DEFINITELY HAS TO CHANGE THE GENRE TARGET. Overall, this is truly a brilliant work. Yay for Al and TBITB!

I kind of thought it might chart higher, but there's still potential for it to move up. After all, the exclusive is just about up, so it can now be released to other downloading services.
Oh by the way, I've cracked the code.

Here's somebody else who's less than thrilled by the original WYL:
it's basically TI singing "I will give you any number of expensive things so you will have sex with me," on top off a rejected melody from a My Little Pony episode cut with the tinny reggatonic hiccups that pass for beats.

:lol:

My Little Pony?? Marshall actually has T.I.'s song on his ipod, and one of his friends has the song on her myspace page. Marshall liked the line about Top Ramen in Al's song.
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

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

So awesome!

Have we stopped caring about this song already?

Anyway, for those who don't want to be hooligans, but can't use iTunes, the song seems to be available for purchase at Amazon, Rhapsody and Napster

I'd look for the song in other sites, except that I'm not really familiar with any more sites.

Who says we've stopped caring about it?

:huh:

I've sent Al several comments about how much I enjoy it.
