I don't think so, I think that they missed the title of the song...

Has anyone here seen this parody of "Royals" that Yahoo produced? It's actually pretty good.

Also, Al made a bizarrely random appearance in this other Yahoo video.

Aluminum foil is often used to imitate metal, steel, titanium and whatnot.

Its obviously a song about proper systematic Algebraic problem solving....;) (i.e. First Outer Inner Last)

If so, it would be a Word Crime since it's not in all caps.

I did watch a video on YouTube of a kid making that Algebra parody. Being a Math teacher, I loved it.

I hope it's a food related parody to get one more throwback to old times! Specifically, I think it could be about fast food places trying to sell the idea that they're healtheir than other places because they don't wrap their old meat in foil, throw things out when they're spoiled, use fresh cooking oil... like really unimpressive basic health practices to try to make it seem like they're really looking out for you. I dunno. :P

I hope this is about conspiracy theorists and aliens and stuff. A lot of the words in the song could line up (for instance 'fantasy' =' galaxy', etc).

That's been my hope too, as that sort of thing is just ripe for parody. But I can't help but think he'd use a different (Trash Day style) title if he were going that route.

Not if every chorus relates back to the tin foil hat idea. Like maybe escalate from a "hat made of foil" to wrapping himself in foil or whatever (hey, this isn't MY job.) I feel like if it was about food the way everyone thinks (changing from foil to spoil to oil) he would've used a different title too. Plus, I just really don't think he's going to go the food route again.
