The king of parodies, Weird Al Yankovic, has released his latest single. "Whatever You Like" is a parody of T.I's song of the same title. Weird Al's version reflects on the current problems in the economy. Instead of rapping about buying his girlfriend diamonds or whatever T.I gets his girls, Al offers to buy his girlfriend whatever she would like at McDonalds or WalMart. Certainly no "White and Nerdy", but it isn't half bad.
The great thing about the song is that it went from conception to release in just 2 weeks. Weird Al's recent interview in Wired magazine touched on the problem that anybody with a macbook can record a parody and get it out in less than an hour. I guess if you can't beat them, join 'em.
So here is the latest Weird Al single, "Whatever You Like"
