cause you start out stealing songs, then you’re robbing liquor stores, and selling crack, and running over school kids with your car
I fully support weird al and his new track, ‘Don’t download this song”. More importantly, I support his decision to fuel the irony of his track by making it a free download from myspace. The song, to the tune of an 80’s “we are the world” style song (no direct parody, just a thematic parody) is cleverly written, and echoes tones of the South Park Episode in which bands, including Metallica, join stan and his band in a strike against playing until people agree to stop downloading their music for free. Their motivation? To make sure that rock stars don’t have to live their lives in “semi-luxury”. Al puts another spin on the track as well, but I wont spoil the fun for you. Enjoy, and pre-order your copy of “Straight Outta Lynwood” now.
