Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Nice catch... albeit about a month -n-half late...
And yes, it is AWESOME.

He does it everytime. Of course he now asks the parodied artist if he can parody the song. At least since Coolio got pissed about "Gangster's Paradise".

New He always asks
the deal with Coolio was that he apparently asked publicist, who said "Great, go ahead"...and the publicist never told Coolio.

By rights, he doesn't have to ask at all, as parody has always been viewed as fair use...but Al has character...unlike the Vanilla Ice types. "Hear it??? Mine's got an extra beat".

New And anybody who says "no" doesn't deserve it.
I've always felt that an artist had to have some kind of notoriety in order to get parodied by Weird Al. If he offers to parody you, it's an honor, like a roast.

New To some, it is an honor
Both Joan Jett and the lead guitarist of Dire Straits gave premission to Weird Al, on the condition that they be allowed to appear in the videos. They had a great time jamming to a parody of their own songs.

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

New That's good to see.
That of thing gives those sorts of artists extra cred. It shows they aren't too precious about their work.
