Weird Al takes on Lady Gaga

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

I was unaware that Weird Al Yankovic was still around, relevant, or making good material, but he totally wins with this new song!

Check out his take on “Born This Way”… AKA “Perform This Way”… that makes fun of the GaGa.

please install flash

I mean… he NAILED IT.

It’s no wonder she apparently didn’t approve it going on his album… I guess she can’t take a little bit of humor.

Thanks, Weird Al.

    That being said, while I’m a huge fan of both Weird Al, and Lady Gaga, I don’t see this song as one of Al’s better or most witty parodies. As far as Al’s clever lyrics, its hard to beat his Star Wars/American Pie parody, “The Saga Begins.” This one is fun though.

    Apparently the song never made it past Gaga’s manager and she never even heard it to approve or disapprove! She loves it!

    This is from Al’s blog linked above:

    “GAGA UPDATE!

    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”
