Buying 2-ply isn't really a cost cutting deal...unless they make a 3 ply I don't know about

No, no, no.
The joke is that he's saying for you, baby, he always gets 2-ply. Really splurging for his woman...

Yay! The song is out!

I had to admit that I braced myself for the inevitable when I went looking for it on YouTube, but I was extremely pleased to find out that Al had uploaded it himself!

The "Exclusive" part of the deal, of course, it's not that you can't listen to the song anywhere else. It's that you can't buy it.

Hopefully, the word will spread during the day.

Oh, ok. See? I stand corrected on my original thought. Thanks for explaining that.

Awesome job Al!
Unfortunatly, it's not as great as I thought it would be, so I think it'll probably take the spot of "Do I Creep You Out" on the new album...

Still really good, i'll give it a 7.5/10.

Eh. Don't really care for it. I don't really like the original song. Some of the lyrics in Al's version seemed a bit rush and forced. (Trying to fit longer sentences into the verses). Also the broke joke got a bit repetitive. I did like some of the jokes and thought Al did a good job singing. Overall though I thought the song was just a couple shades over being pretty lame. (Probably will eat it for that one). I'll listen a few more times and see if I change my mind.

no its a great song
i say its better than the last single white and nerdy

this one was very funny

I wouldn't go that far. I mean it's a good song, but White and Nerdy was his only song to get into the Top 10. I can see this song get on the charts as well, but only because everyone will be like "OMG OMG WEIRD AL HAS A NEW SONG!!"

The song is good. It's definitely funny, and I suspect it will grow on me as I keep listening to it. It's definitely not on par with W&N, but as was mentioned, that would be difficult to do. We have to remember that we're used to the first parody Al brings out being his lead parody. I'm pretty positive this won't be his lead parody on the album. Overall, the song is good and the lyrics are clever. "I'll take you to the laundromat downtown/we can watch the clothes go round and round."

I transcribed the words:

Hey girl you know our economy is in the toilet but I’m still going to treat you right

I said you can have whatever you like (if you like)
I said you can have whatever you like (if you like) yeah yeah

Tater tots, cold duck on ice and we can clip coupons all night
and baby you can have whatever you like (if you like)
I said you can have whatever you like (if you like) yeah yeah

Take you out for dinner anywhere that you please
Like Burger King or Mickey D’s
and baby you can have whatever you like (if you like)
I said you can even have the large fry (large fry) yeah yeah

Baby you should know I am really quite a sweet guy
When I buy you bathroom tissue I always get the two ply
Want it you can get it my dear
I got my Costco membership card right here
Yeah

You like Top Ramen, need Top Ramen
Got a cupboard fill of em, I’ll keep em coming
You want it I got it go get it just heat dump the flavor packet on it and eat it

Pork and beans and minute rice
We can play cribbage all night
And baby you can have whatever you like (if you like)
I said you can have whatever you like (if you like) yeah yeah

I can take you to the laundromat downtown
And watch all the clothes go round and round
And baby we can go where ever you like (if you like)
I said we can go where ever you like (if you like) yeah yeah

Hottest shorty I know if you had some lipo
You could be second runner up Miss Ohio
Seven dollar bills roll
Inside my plastic billfold
Buy you a bagel even if it isn’t day old
And you never ever gotta wear your sister’s old clothes
As long as I’m still assist manager at Kinko’s
Cut your hair with scissors and a soup bowl
You ain’t got to pay me that’s the way that I roll

My chick can have want she want
At Wal-mart she can pick out anything she want
I know girl you ain’t never had a man like that
Who doesn’t make you buy generic brand like that
Yeah

You like my Hyundai see my Hyundai
I can take you to see your cousin Phil next Sunday
But that’s kind of far and I’m not made of cash do you think you can chip in for gas
Mac and cheese would be alright
But let’s send out for pizza tonight
And you can order any topping you like (you like)
I said you can even have the last slice (last slice) yeah yeah

Ran myself a cable from my neighbor next door now I can get free HBO
and baby you can watch whatever you like (if you like)
I said you can watch whatever you like (if you like) yeah yeah

And you can always ride the city bus
Got a stack of tokens just for us
Yo my wallet’s fat and full of ones
It’s all about the Washingtons that’s right

You want White Castle need White Castle
Long as you got me it won’t be no hassle
You want it we’ll get it just don’t be a hater
If I grab a bunch of napkins for later

Thrift store jeans on sale half price
The underwear at goodwill is nice
and baby you can have whatever you like (if you like)
I said you can have whatever you like (if you like) yeah yeah

Baby I can give you anything you please
Even share my government cheese
and baby you can have as much as you like (if you like)
I said you can have as much as you like (if you like) yeah yeah

I'm listening to it now, al put it on youtube. definetly worth the wait!
