Weird Al vs. The Man

[Penfold]

As reported by NPR. (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5482774)

Since when has it hurt anyone's career to have Weird Al parody a song? He's been around much longer than a lot of the groups/artists he's gone after. For some of those songs, Weird Al's version is the only reason anyone remembers them.

[1986]

weird al is a genious, and if I was famous, it'd be an honor to have him redo one of my songs...some people even say they know that they've officially 'made it' when weird al asks to do one of their songs

Weird Al is da effing man of music! You ain't made it until Weird Al says you've made it.

So put that in your accordian and squeeze it, MISTER!

I'm psyched. "You're Pitiful" won't be on i, but that's OK since I downloaded it already anyway. 12 more Weird Al songs. Whoo-hoo!
