World of Weird Al Yankovic

Anyone who has listened to this song over 250 times is disqualified from weighing in as an objective source. It's like how they discount the highest and lowest scores in the Olympics.

I've only listened about 15 times, and I love it.

Ha. Ha. Jon. Funny. kinda.
I don't think my opinion is worth less than anyone else's. Nor is yours worth more.

Weird Al Yankovic Exposed For Stealing DeadlyX Song "Whatever You Like"

For some reason I don't think Al's worried.

Seriously, the parody that this DeadlyX hack came up with pretty much amounts to a slam about overweight and ugly people, so I have to wonder if this "writer" (blogger? message board member? whatever the dynamics of the site are) actually listened to Al's parody or is just enraged that someone else had the nerve to come up with another, and infinitely better, parody of a very simplistic hip hop song.

At the very base, they both share the same concept, as it's a parody of the same song, and keeps the theme of the original. There's nothing he can really do, as it's like a stand-up comedian doing a joke about a particular topic, and another comedian follows about the same topic in general, but makes a completely different point. (Dane Cook haters on YouTube come to mind).

'deadlyx' keeps it to the diet and appearance of whatever he calls his female companion(s). Not to mention the 'genius' that he has to keep 'burgers and fries' as the chorus over and over.

Al expands it to life in general, and daily activities. He may hone in on food more than anything, but it's not everything in the song. Not even remotely close, and there's nothing that can be legally done. Just a lot of false hating by word of mouth (or fingertips).

Guys, this song isn't a book they force to you read in English. No need to completely over-analyze... It's a clever parody of a crappy song. It's pretty funny, and pretty catchy. It could have been better, it could have been worse. 'Nuff said.

Dude... this is a Weird Al forum...
Of COURSE we're going to over-analyze. Why wouldn't we?

Because sometimes you need to step back to enjoy a work of art.

Alright, I'll admit, that was a pretty lame cliché, but... it was the only thing I could come up with

I've been enjoying it.
325 times.

I'm afraid to think of the reviews when the next song comes out

Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Alnessssssssssssssssssssssss!!!




So, can someone point me to the Original?
