“Weird Al” Yankovic turned 50 on Friday. (Can you believe he’s been around that long? And that he has a new album?) Yankovic’s exceedingly goofy, and quite clever. He also has a song off of his 2006 album, Straight Outta Lynnwood, that seems somewhat appropriate for the VC: “I’ll Sue Ya.” It begins:
I sued Taco Bell
‘Cause I ate half a million Chalupas
And I got fat!I sued Panasonic
They never said I shouldn’t use their microwave
To dry off my catHuh, I sued Earthlink
‘Cause I called them up
N’ they had the nerve to put me on holdI sued Starbucks
‘Cause I spilled a Frappucino in my lap
And brrr, it was cold!I sued Toys’R’Us
‘Cause I swallowed a Nerf ball
And nearly choked to deathUgh, I sued PetCo
‘Cause I ate a bag of kitty litter
And now I got bad breath!
The full lyrics are on a fan site here, and here’s the video. More “Weird Al” birthday wishes, etc. at Idolator.
