Don't Ignore This Song (parody of Don't Download this Song)

Finally: A PARODY OF WEIRD AL HIMSELF!!! Where can you see George Bush singing and dancing with Weird Al? Bill Frist dancing with Ali al Sistani? Michael Jackson with the Naked Brothers Band? What music video features Darth Vader and the Sweat Hogs performing with dead poodles and Michael Bolton?

"Lately, not much attention has been paid to the oeuvre, the life's work, of Weird Al."
A. Yankovic

Truer words have never been spoken. And while the recording artist known as Weird Al may be getting long of tooth, and that his recent efforts to post free songs and videos on Myspace and Youtube (and anywhere he can) may seem a bit embarrassing, and maybe he seems to be rehashing his tried and true formulas for parodies over and over and over and over, and maybe he is most remembered for his associations with disgraced figures from the 70's and 80's such as Michael Jackson and Anakin Skywalker, and maybe his albums have always featured "humorous" songs involving animal abuse and killing, and maybe despite his bully pulpit, he has always avoided any controversial or topical subject, and maybe he's... wait, where was I going with this?
Oh, well, anyway, here it is, finally: a tribute fitting of all the class, all the wit, all the true talent that is... Weird Al Yankovic.

Lyrics:
Once in a while, maybe you will feel the urge
To turn your dial to VH1
See now you'll mostly find me on AM radio
Between two interrupted one-song blocks of Michael Bolton

But deep in your heart, your happy memory of me is the
Four-eyed, mop-headed freak on "Al TV"
But now I shaved my moustache, and had Lasik surgery. Now I'm a
20-20, speech-impaired Hawaiian poodle pathetically trying to hold off obscurity


So Don't ignore this song,
On MTV's where I belong ("where are you Martha? And JJ?")
If you won't buy the CD, I'll post a free MP3 ("on Youtube, and Myspace, or I'll e-mail it, just gimme your address")
I won't let you ignore this song

Ooh I don't wanna mess, with my pattern for success,
I been doing the same old shtick since the 70's
Oh it may seem formulaic, and a bit repetitive,
But it's also formulaic, and a bit repetitive!


So don't ignore this song ("I still rock like Journey, or Whitesnake, on reunion")
My comic Kung Fu is too strong ("I'm funnier than Carrot Top... on drugs!")
My consolation you see, my fans are dorkier than me, ("just not you, though, don't worry!")
They can't ignore this song


First pretend to get permission, then focus on the market
Write exhaustive, lists of clichéd jokes, and pick an easy target
Grotesque and violent images distract-from-my insecurities
It's hip, detached, and just about as, funny as dead ba-bies
A song without some senseless animal cruelty would bore us
And I can't write a line without my requisite, essential, indispensable thesaurus
The way I'll know one day I'm finally all washed up you see,
Is when someone makes a parody of me-eeee




Don't ignore this son, ("its even funnier than...")
The Naked-Brothers-Band hooks up with Michael Jack-son ("Come back Michael, I still need you!!!")
Three things that matter to me: food, Star Wars, obesity You can't afford to not ignore this,
Why ignore this song? ("I'm topical, I'm relevant, I'm pertinent!")
I'd let you know if something's wrong ("I been here for 5 presidents, never mentioned one")
If it's important you see you will not hear it from me, oh can't you just pretend you like this,

Don't ignore this psalm ("I'll poke fun at your just so long as it's...")
Not right-wing Christians or Islam (cause that's not funny, and those dudes'll hurt you)
I've been onstage for too long
Chuck Barris bangs on his Gong
So Please Ignore this Song.


(see, this rips off "Don't Download this song", which Weird Al posted for free online, which lampooned the issue of ripping off music online, which, aiengh...)

So what if it takes the piss out of Weird Al. Boo! Ho! Ho! and pissy knickers! Weird Al takes the piss out of everybody himself. He can take it, he sure don't need a load of pissy little tossers arguing his corner
