Weird Al “Yankovic” is giving a free song titled Don’t Download This Song<\/a> (from \/.) – Here’s the direct mp3 download link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lyrics: (HOTEL XVR27<\/a>)<\/p>\n

(sang to the tune of We Are The World<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Once in a while maybe you will feel the urge
\nTo break international copyright law
\nBy downloading MP3s from file-sharing sites
\nLike Morpheus or Grokster or Limewire or KaZaA<\/p>\n

But deep in your heart you know the guilt would drive you mad
\nAnd the shame would leave a permanent scar
\n‘Cause you start out stealing songs and then you’re robbing liquor stores
\nAnd sellin’ crack and runnin’ over school kids with your car<\/p>\n

So don’t download this song
\nThe record store’s where you belong
\nGo and buy the CD like you know that you should
\nOh, don’t download this song<\/p>\n

Oh, you don’t wanna mess with the R-I-double-A
\nThey’ll sue you if you burn that CD-R
\nIt doesn’t matter if you’re a grandma or a seven year old girl
\nThey’ll treat you like the evil hard-bitten criminal scum you are<\/p>\n

So don’t download this song
\nDon’t go pirating music all day long
\nGo and buy the CD like you know that you should
\nOh, don’t download this song<\/p>\n

Don’t take away money from artists just like me
\nHow else can I afford another solid gold Hum-Vee
\nAnd diamond-studded swimming pools
\nThese things don’t grow on trees
\nSo all I ask is, “Everybody, please…”<\/p>\n

Don’t donwload this song (Don’t do it, no, no)
\nEven Lars Ulrich knows it’s wrong (You can just ask him)
\nGo and buy the CD like you know that you should (You really should)
\nOh, don’t download this song<\/p>\n

Don’t donwload this song (Oh please, don’t you do it)
\nOr you might wind up in jail like Tommy Chong (Remember Tommy)
\nGo and buy the CD (Right now) like you know that you should (Go out and buy it)
\nOh, don’t download this song<\/p>\n

Don’t download this song (No, no, no, no, no, no)
\nYou’ll burn in hell before too long (and you’ll deserve it)
\nGo and buy the CD (Just buy it) like you know that you should (You cheap bastard)
\nOh, don’t download this song<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you don’t know Tommy Chong, you can read about him on Wikipedia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

If you visit his homepage<\/a>, you’ll also find out that he’s giving away You’re Pitiful<\/a> – Yes, Al recently recorded a James Blunt parody which unfortunately, due to matters<\/a> beyond his control, will not be appearing on his forthcoming album. But if you’re so inclined, you can just download it for FREE<\/a>!<\/em> From the article:<\/p>\n

According to Yankovic, Blunt himself gave his blessing to a song called “You’re Pitiful” (audio), which was to appear on Yankovic’s now-finished but as-yet-unreleased new album. But after Yankovic finished recording the parody, Atlantic Records, Blunt’s label, told Yankovic that he couldn’t release “You’re Pitiful.” Though Yankovic has encountered resistance from artists before — after a miscommunication involving permissions, Coolio publicly objected to a released parody of “Gangsta’s Paradise,” while Prince has always turned down Yankovic’s requests to parody his hits — he says this is the first time a label has stepped in to squash the release of one of his parodies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s why he has decided to give it away online for free, since parodies are legal, but if you want to sell for money, you’ll need consent from the artist, or “whoever” owns the rights.<\/p>\n

Lyrics: (from LyricZZ<\/a>)<\/p>\n

(sang to the tune of You’re Beautiful<\/a>)<\/p>\n

My life is brilliant…<\/p>\n

What, was I too early? Oh, sorry. Should I…Do you wanna start over? Or, keep going?
\nOkay, now? Now?<\/p>\n

My life is brilliant
\nYour life’s a joke
\nYou’re just pathetic
\nYou’re always broke<\/p>\n

Your homemade Star Trek uniform
\nreally ain’t impressin’ me
\nYou’re sufferin’ from delusions of
\nAdequacy<\/p>\n

You’re Pitiful (X3) It’s true<\/p>\n

Never had a date
\nThat ya couldn’t inflate
\nAnd ya smell repulsive too
\nWhat a bummer bein’ you<\/p>\n

Well ya just can’t dance
\nAnd forget romance
\nEverybody you know still calls ya
\nFarty Pants
\nBut you always have a job well I mean<\/p>\n

As long as you still can work that slurpie machine<\/p>\n

You’re Pitiful (X3) It’s true<\/p>\n

You’re half undressed
\nEatin’ chips off your chest
\nWhile you’re playin’ Halo 2
\nNo one’s classier than you<\/p>\n

Lalala la
\nLalala la
\nLalala la Loser<\/p>\n

You’re Pitiful (X3) It’s true<\/p>\n

Your dog would much rather
\nPlay fetch by itself<\/p>\n

You still live with your Mom when you’re 42<\/p>\n

Guess you’ll never grow a clue
\nWhen it just sucks to be you<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
