Haha awesome

Nice. I like me some Weird Al, and that may be my favorite Gaga song too.

Oh my......

I enjoy his polka songs Polka Face

i love weird al but that vid just creeps me out... not quite as much as gaga's but still...

I think his best vid is still White & Nerdy :)

They say you've made it when Weird Al has covered you .

In reply to FlightService:

I was about to say this. I seem to remember MJ being flattered that Al had parodied him so many times. The only artists that get offended seem to be the ones that don't get it and the ones that take themselves too seriously.

I'm not sure if he still does it, but Al used to seek permission from each artist before he did a parody. I know that caused a bit of a SNAFU with "Amish Paradise", when the record label said yes and Coolio wasn't so cool. Eminem bit of a cock about the whole thing.

I really didn't mean to say "Eminem bit of a cock", but I think it works better that way

Uh, nice legs?

They shopped his head onto some womans body. At some points, you can see it quite clearly.

Ha! We just ran across this last night.

It's hysterical. Weird Al is awesome.

If anyone's ripe for a parody, it's Gaga. She's a freak.

...and hence, a marketing genius. The schtick sells more records than the music.

Alice Cooper == Marilyn Manson == Lady Gaga.

I like this one of his

In reply to Derick Freese:

Yeah, from the "behind the music" I saw it came out that Al's publisher was supposed to ask Coolio but it never happened.

Now Al personally goes and asks. Which means Gaga was ok with all of it.

Al apparently has a vault full of Prince stuff he has done but Prince never gives the go ahead.

At first Gaga's people didn't want to let Al do it, but apparently she caught wind of it and gave him the go a-head. The song is great, the video is creepy.

On the topic of Prince, Kevin Smith, a JG Pasterjak lookalike, was invited to film a Prince for what Kevin thought to be a documentary. It turned out that all Prince wanted was some footage for his personal collection.

You should read up on it a bit more... That is definitely not how it went down. This song happening has been an interesting tale... If I can find links I'll post them later ;)
