Weird Al Takes a Swipe at The RIAA
Weird Al Yankovic's new CD "Straight Outta Lynwood" features a song that takes an exaggerated look at the RIAA, Recording Industry Association of America, and their stance on illegal song downloads. Ironically enough the song is titled "Don't Download This Song" and can be downloaded on Al's myspace page.Personally my favorite part of the song is when Yankovic talks about what downloading songs illegally will lead to, "Cause you start out stealing songs and then you're robbing liquor stores, and sellin' crack and runnin' over school kids with your car."
In addition to the publicity from this song the release of the album also rides on the parody of Chamillionaire's "Ridin'" titled "White and Nerdy". Both songs are absolutely hilarious so I encourage you right now to buy the album or listen to these two songs for free on Yancovik's myspace.
