Well, this was a strange day.
After putting my Lady Gaga parody on YouTube this morning – and announcing that it wouldn’t be on my next album because Gaga didn’t approve it – there was a huge outpouring of disappointment from the Internet.
Apparently the fact that she didn’t approve it was news to Lady Gaga herself!
Gaga’s manager has now admitted that he never forwarded my parody to Gaga – she had no idea at all. Even though we assumed that Gaga herself was the one making the decision (because, well, that’s what we were TOLD), he apparently made the decision completely on his own.
He’s sorry.
And Gaga loves the song.
I’m thrilled on many levels to hear this, because 1) I truly respect and admire Gaga as an artist and it pained me to think of her as having less than a great sense of humor, and 2) it means I GET TO PUT OUT MY ALBUM!
As promised, all my proceeds from the song (and the MUSIC VIDEO… I can’t wait…) will go to the Human Rights Campaign.
Thank you, Gaga. And thanks to everybody who had my back.
Whew!
Your pal,
Al

I just love Perform this Way! You are a really amazing parodizer (Is that a word? I don’t care, really.) and I just can’t stop listening to it… for some reason. And hopefully you didn’t make Gaga think about going nude in public or make us think its cliche.
Al, the video was PURE GENIUS(well could we expect any less from you,…NEVER!). I think it’s one of your all time best!
you need to make a new song, like “I Drank Pepsi Now I’m Bloated”
Your blog is pretty cool to me and your topics are very relevant. I was browsing around and came across something you might find interesting. I was guilty of 3 of them with my sites. “99% of blog owners are guilty of these 5 mistakes”. http://tinyurl.com/cwa3tj7 You will be suprised how simple they are to fix.

I am wondering if you can help me (OK, REALLY…am I REALLY writing to Weird Al to ask for help?) BUT…..I am stumped…..so … here goes…..
My 13 year old son has created a bunch of parodies, complete with music videos. He has done all of the work himself and has loaded them onto YouTube. This morning, a friend called to tell him that he can no longer access the clip on his iPod. After checking, we saw a message about “violating copyright law”. I THOUGHT that ALL parodies were “fair game”, and thus protected.
I am a musician and music teacher and am really tough about copyright. I would love to teach him the “right” way to do this. I am not sure who we are supposed to contact. I know about the copyright info, but it seems that a 13 year old kid, contacting ASCAP (or wherever) wouldn’t get much of a timely response. We don’t really have an agent that could quickly handle this for us. He’s concerned that he might NEVER hear back, and then what happens?
He is very creative and artistic and would love to continue to use parodies and YouTube as an avenue to continue to grow and develop. Do you have any ideas?

If there is still time, get them to a WordPress, Blogspot, anything. The only thing that can stop them is the comments section on a blog page. Something goes haywire in their systems, and they incessantly give advice that is simultaneously constructive and not applicable.
I’ve sent my transmission here as the high number of robots commenting shows this must be the page of some world leader. Please, if you or your staff gets this Mr. Yankovic, do what you can to stop the robot menace.

I’m sitting here with my 3 and 5 year old boys who, after I showed them Eat It about 2 weeks ago, have been using every opportunity to watch the rest of your parodies on youtube. I particularly love it when I’ll be singing along to myself and my youngest pipes in as a backing singer “with aluminium foil” “(foil)”
My sons have never heard most of the originals to your parodies and I love that some day in the future they’ll hear one of them in public and sing your lyrics instead 😂
Weird Al, I salute you
