Here it is! The so very wrong and yet so insanely right music video for “Weird Al” Yankovic’s parody of Lady Gaga’s hit “Born This Way”. Here is: “Perform This Way”!
Weird Al’s latest album Alpocalypse streets tomorrow! Can. Not. Wait!...
…according to Weird Al himself on the song’s YouTube page, this song will not be part of his forthcoming album! In Al’s own words:
This is my parody of Lady Gaga’s song “Born This Way” — which, I’m sorry to say, will NOT be included on my upcoming album. I will give the details of the whole Gaga saga (and offer free mp3 downloads of the song) on weirdal.com very soon.
If this is at Lady Gaga’s insistence, I hope she will come to realize that to be chosen by Al to be the subject of one of his parodies is an extremely high honor! I mean, when Weird Al marks you for spoofing, it proves that you’ve achieved musical immortality: more so than getting a Grammy, in my opinion.
Well anyhoo, here is “Perform This Way”:
UPDATE 1:29 p.m. EST: Al has posted his account of what happened ...
A group of United States soldiers from the 82nd Airborne based in Fort Bragg, currently stationed in Afghanistan, have produced a music video of themselves dancing to Lady Gaga’s hit song “Telephone”. Y’all have to check this out!
Well done guys! All the more praiseworthy given your present location. I just hope that this won’t become an issue when it gets to be time for your next evaluation 😛...
