  • Haha jelly beans

  • I've been waiting so long for weird al to do a lady gaga parody.

    Oh and technically born this way is madonnas song not lady gaga's song she took it and did a remake

  • when i look at the meat dress i say......'FUCK YOU LADY GAGA!'

  • Its on vevo

  • I want to find the official video..

  • @thekarkar99 its on weirdal vevo

  • Thumb up if gaga made 44 youtube accounts.

  • I'M FRANKENSTEIN

    I'M AVATAR

  • Weird Al keeps getting better and better. <3

  • If u don't like gaga then don't watch her...because I bet she not even looking @ your comments...so she is diff. Get over it

  • this is very true

  • i see many of her outfit's cover her entire face, and it's a (good) thing too! ugly, ugly, ugly! beak like an elephant

  • Great, better than the original

  • You know you've made it when Al does a spin off of your song

  • Kurmet

  • 1:24 what happeed to gaga 2:56 lol that is photoshopped

  • wow that was like seriously weird she needs to go to a crazy home and ow yea wierd

  • it just starts 12 secs thumbs up if you saw that

  • I JUST DONT GET IT!!!! WHY CANT YOU JUST WEAR NORMAL CLOTHES FOR ONCE?!?!?!? SOMETIMES I JUST WANNA SCREAM! YOUR NOT COOL, I HATE YOU DIE. I LIKE SOME OF YOUR SONGS, BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT..... MOST OF THEM SUCK. WISH YOU COULD BE NORMAL- HelloImAvaBieber

  • @HelloImAvaBieber BUSTIN JIEBER SUCKS THE SWEAT OFF A DEAD MANS BALLS.

  • yeah, he gets approval from all people he parodys.

    He is a gentleman in that way.

    It would have been nice if in the few situations where the lyrics would have matched a picture, you did. excellent song. June 21 New ALbum!

  • But you can bite me baby i perform this way love it masterpiece

    thumbs up if you agree :)

  • Hahahaha ...I love that he slipped the "express yourself" bit in there.

  • The reason Al was so successfull back in the 80'-90's was because very few ppl could get their songs out to a mass market and Al had a contract with a record co. Also, CD's and tapes were still being sold for $24 and singles were almost discontinued.He had the market locked, but now he is just doing what everyone else is doing.I'm a fan but I loved his videos almost as much as his songs and now music vids aren't as big as they used to be either. Bottom line, he needs to expand into movies again

  • Ok some need to go look at Weird al's update on his channel.. Lady Gaga changed her mind..

  • @ 3:32 , r u seirius

  • no he doesnt legally need permission but weird al has a long history of approaching artists first to make sure.

  • @webcs yep he is very respectful and has integrity.

  • lol! My new look is all the rage.

  • @crawfordroses, once again, I'm simply raising awareness. My opinion on whether occult symbolism in pop culture is a good thing or a bad thing is not what I'm presenting--merely raising awareness for the fact that it's there. And if you don't like it, my good sir, then it is you who needs to 'get over it.'

  • jillygilly98 go get a life! your worthless commenting on other peoples statuses like that, go do something constructive like sucking on justin beibers dick!!!

  • and to add this video has nowhere the views of his original and the purpose was not to steal anything for I did specifically state it was his and I just added pics for fun and thought i might get some views of other videos.

  • @TheStubey not bad!

  • I have noticed after doing this that many people first take things way too seriously,unlike Weird Al, and secondly ,make comments without the facts.Weird Al was releasing this song for free on mp3 when I made the video and It was sent to him on my space and FB where I got a chuckle. he was slightly busy at the time but appreciated me thinking of Harvey.

  • @TheStubey Oh and please notice on Al's albums he does more than parody he has really funny original songs as well as a movie called "UHF" which is hilarious and has Michael Richards doing a take of his character from the show Friday's

  • @jillygilIy98 I didn't steal it I asked him on Fb and Myspace if I could use it. he thought it was Funny and more publicity and he was giving the mp3 free. get your facts straight and now you are spam

  • DON'T DRINK AND GO TO MEETING!!!

  • I might have more literally matched the pics to the audio, especially since Gaga actually did many of these things. :P

  • @KingAlanI yeah I though about that right after the upload:D

  • @KingAlanI especially the meat dress

  • I love all the douchebags talking about lady gaga's "message"....you mean the I will literally do anything for fame and money message?.

    Although her way has probably led to less back problems than Katy Perry who was jackhammered on every exec couch she could spread on.

  • soooooooooooooooooooo funny =P

    \

  • Lady Gaga was covered with cheese and bees before it was cool.

  • Some one call PETA that crazy bi-otch killed kermit and wore his skin....

  • @jfree1998 And what about 1:28? Talk about a rediculous spray-on tan! And then after that, is she trying to imitate planet Saturn on the Ellen DeGeneres show?

  • @JupiterIV I thought that was Ru Paul, lol.

  • If Al's blog and youtube channel are to be believed, it was Gaga's Manager never forwarded the vid and Gaga herself never listened. Now Gaga has listened, and she has approved it.

  • READ SHOW MORE PLEASE

  • @lightningjohnny77 what that means is gaga heard it, hated it, but with all the negative press and responses, she wanted to avoid the bad publicity and changed her mind...

  • I think the problem here is not the video ,or Weird Al or lady gaga, it is the fact that a video for fun can cause this much hype knowing by law he doesn't have to ask for permission at all.

  • Guys if you would bother to read the show MORE you would see that I stated clearly that I know her manager lied ,she approved the video is a fan ,Weird Al blogged it ,Faced it on book,tubed it blah blah blah,it is a video, for fun you know humor. Weird Al ,funny get it. Try reading before you make remarks. Learn to click SHOW MORE DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @TheStubey he doesn't need permission. Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. established that a commercial parody can qualify as fair use there for they need no permission to make a parody

  • Poster of this "video" is a fool. Gaga's camp approved the parody...she's an Al fan, folks. Check out Al's youtube channel.

  • @whistledink man read the show more dumbass

  • @whistledink he doesn't need permission. Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. established that a commercial parody can qualify as fair use there for they need no permission to make a parody

  • Swiss cheese or covered in bees....

    I love the love child of Weird Al and Gaga

  • Swiss cheese or covered in bees....

    I love the love child of Weird Al and Gaga

  • Comment removed

  • @BrixFlix I said manager said no dood read under show more wth

  • @BrixFlix Yeah, well, she or her reps said no. If she loves Weird Al, she should get better reps. Either way, her fault.  I love Gaga, but, this whole thing is bullshit.

  • @BrixFlix yeah wtf read show more .

  • @ifonlyyouandi57 absolutely.He said that on his blog .he does it out of respect.

  • @BrixFlix no, she denied it at first. And then it got out onto the internet and with all the good reviews and "wtf gaga, it's weird al" she retracted her refusal and said that she "never said no". You know, typical diva shit.

  • It is a video. And I like Al. That is really all it is. Lady gaga is who she is and I just do music and blog. The rest is just hype.My friends are bands.So there we go watch my others and you will see I really don't like the genre just Al.

  • google.

  • @thestubey I'm not referring to her affiliation with the monogamy campaign, nor the fact that someone else writes her lyrics. I'm referring to the over all persona that is 'Lady Gaga'. Lady Gaga, the entity, is symbolized as a mannequin, a doll, a marionette puppet...with one eye. There is esoteric, occult symbolism in her work. The face-value meaning of the song is usually not the only meaning. Take Telephone-- what does it have to do with poisoning people in a cafe?

  • OMG SHE KILLED KERMIT THE FROG!!!!!!!!!

  • @crawfordroses what did she kill for the egg?

  • @crawfordroses I never said I liked her... I detest her because I understand her message, and detest it.

  • She needs to use her voice ,really write lyrics about her causes and drop the outfit gimmick, I have seen her perform as she really is and she wasn't born this way.

  • Lady Gaga, is absolute fail of all time, but Al Yankovic is always win.

  • lol i love pissing people off with a truth. even if its just my own.

    i made that comment last night in a very self assured place. this morning im a little more honest with myself.

    this is WEIRD AL. he makes a living off of making fun of other popular songs, positive or not. the guy makes you feel and think in his best of times. here is one of them. i have much respect for the man. he has no negative message. or a positive message. he just makes me question and fight for things.

  • Wow dude, Congrats you have sucessfully pissed more people off than try to get them to see your point. I am deeply sorry that Lady Gaga is just awesome and you can not handle it. Woooops!

  • Lady Gaga is neither insane nor a publicity whore. she carries a consistent, specific message to anyone enlightened enough to understand it. If you are curious about what the meaning is behind her lyrics and bizarre costume, I highly recommend you google Vigilant Citizen. His website looks into the meanings of the symbolism inherent in many pop icons and music videos. What you find may surprise you.

  • @flashinpon I did and I know and i also know about her affiliation with Cyndi Lauper and the Monogomy campaign. It's a video and just diatribe .Come on if you know all the facts why don't you read more about the entire situation and what really ahappened and what she really means in her lyrics.

  • @flashinpon and I never said whore or mentioned lyrics whatsoever .I just said ludicrous costumes and yes they are meaning or not.

  • @flashinpon

    Get over it, not everyone has to like that crazy lady (or her twisted "enlightenment"). Thank you, Weird Al!

    What is it that all the Gaga fans say.......... Ah yes, if you don't like it don't listen to it! There's lots of people who like this music so STFU! ;-)

  • Ha Ha he nailed it as always!

    

  • Try clicking show more before making comments please to read the whole introduction please. GEEZ people read.

  • @TheStubey

    Or maybe you could just change the description.

  • Actually what happened was her manager sidelined the track and said no on her behalf. Gaga has recently listened to the track and has approved it saying that she loved it.

  • @TheStubey

    In the description: "She made him record it"

    No, she did not. Another person who makes things up to cast a bad shadow on someone else. No integrity.

  • @jackiechandjob I didn't make it up her manager did ,get your facts straight please. And Al does not need permission to do it anyway .Try reading before you make comments.

  • @TheStubey I need to try reading? Your reply makes no sense in context to what I was talking about. Your description used to say that Lady Gaga "made him record it". I understand the situation with her management, I'm saying they still didn't MAKE HIM record it. Weird Al recorded it and her manager told him it wasn't OK to release it without her consent.

  • I think Lady Gaga is a true artist. I know that some say she is not original and has stolen her look, sound, and ideas from others, but true art imitates art. Everyone, especially in music, is influenced by others, and yes it does come full circle! Having said that, Weird Al is a GENIUS! And the prime example of true art imitating art! And not only is he a major talent, he has become the guage in which popular music is measured! If Wierd Al parodies you, it is an honor and a compliment!

  • @mrlespaulgod Your a fuckign moron

  • @redufo raelyl fuckign i must reign

  • Does everyone know that according to the law Weird Al doesn't have to ask permission to do the parodies ,he does it out of respect. And as far as Amish paradise ,he had prior permission from the record company and Coolio but he back peddled. So Al is a true artist and has integrity as well as humor.

  • @TheStubey It falls under "FAIR USE" so he can record and release without any prior permission from anyone. Al is a true musician and artist.

  • Weird Al strikes again! Awesomely funny.

  • I might be wearing swiss cheese or maybe covered with bees.... that's awesome!

  • lol

  • lady gaga has recently said he can actually put it on his album,apparently she didn't say no, her manager just didn't send her the song

  • "I'm so completely original" Now that part is funny. The song is a blatant copy of other songs. Her wardrobes are explicitly copied. She is a study in how to recycle other people's creativity. Weird Al is far more original and he admits he copies people.

  • Lady Gaga = Back Peddler. Facts straight. Bar none.  Blog and TMZ swayed the opinion of Lady Gaga, the artist, and Lady Gaga, the management....no dispute. The facts are there. The blogs and the press reporting are both there. Also, if you are so musically ignorant that you couldn't hear where this song was ripped from and who's coat tails she was riding on (AHEM! Madonna...cough...cough), then you deserve to be that blind and ignorant.

  • In fact, not that Lady Gaga wastes her time responding to YouTube commentors, but I would challenge anyone from her management, press, public relations team to discuss the ramifications or her team's little corporate decision and flagrant 'Diva" "Up Yours" response to Weird Al Yankovic and the onslaught of negative public opinions that followed. I know that this term is often overused, but I feel safe, in the wake of things, saying...."What a douche."

  • Positive energy.... with this song......*cough*

  • I love Weird Al. He introduced me to music.

    But i found love for Lady Gaga in this song.She sends a positive message. Most people who reply negatively do not.

    Weird Al is one of these people in this case. Many artists have that aspect. But only few send positive messages.

    Weird Al is one of the people that dont in a way. He makes fun of everything with no bias. He presents a negative idea. Music is whatever you want it to be.

    Music is mostly love, insperation, and respect.

    Think about it.

  • @MrNiceguy840 more money will be sent to charitys with this song than lady gaga's. Think about it...

  • @MrNiceguy840 weird al makes original songs too, and wants to make people laugh. the money he makes often goes to charity. thats positive.

  • She is white trash with money!

  • Did he say "Excusez-moi, qui a pété?" ("Excuse me, who farted"). 'pété' sounded more like 'piti' the way he said it, but that doesn't make sense!

  • And if you read the comments supposedly the manager said she wanted the copy to listen to and he lied but they have said so much crap maybe publicity for poor LG.

  • @TheStubey and try Weird Al's own blog on the matter instead of halfway reading then spouting things you dreamed in a made -up world.

  • I did nnt say she made him write it I said record it it learn to read

  • @TheStubey should be not but I think whoever said write can't tell the difference cause it is not spelled record.

  • 1. She didn't make him write this song. 2. She didn't know about it until recently (which is why she didn't approve). 3. Now that she knows about it, she has approved of it and it will be on his new album.

    Please get your facts right, thanks.

  • @whitefluffyzoey read the comments and my original comments and get your facts correct please.

  • @TheStubey record not write ,Weird Al in his blog when I made the video stated she asked for the copy and then said no. And just recently revealed The manager lied if that is even factual with all the hype on her side

  • cool

    

  • Turns out Gaga didn't even hear the song. Her manager made all the decisions and lied to Al about it. He's admitted it now, and she has heard it and loves it. It WILL be on the album after all. Yay!

  • i love gaga . but this song is hilarious , but im still a monsta baby (:

  • And if you didnt notice I gave him credit and said why i did it and told everyone about the free mp3 download so get real.

  • Just wanted to put her in the video she keeps disliking

  • Nope I didnt steal I did it to pee off lady gaga even more and He is my friend on FB and MYspace and I asked permission and if he still says remove i will.

  • @TheStubey Well considering she ACTUALLY said yes and it IS going to be on the album, this video is pretty useless.

  • @HDShadow unless its a sham and she yanks approval,you know publicity even bad is publicity

  • @TheStubey It's not. Lady Gaga is the type to enjoy any sort of twist of her songs. It's more unlike Gaga for all of this to happen if anything.

  • Stolen from Weird Al.

  • Al if you see this say hi to harvey the 200th i guess by now:D

  • And look for his free mp3 download of this song since it isn't going on the album. he could do that anyway under the fair act law but be doesn't work like some artists. He has integrity in music and the way he treats his fellow musicians, well even those with ridiculous outfits and less than stellar talent too.

  • Guys when his album comes out get it fast and make it sell like crazy. Weird Al is one of the most talented musicians and and song writers ever. His songs that are genre parodies are the best too. He deserves better than a dismissal from Lady GOO GOO GA GA. Support Al.

  • the best!!!
