“Weird Al” Yankovic - “Word Crimes”
Mandatory Fun (2014) - Buy
Seriously impressed with this. Not only are there a bajillion other parodies on YouTube (some of them really well done too), and not only have we seen your quirky-neighborhood web-comic picking fun at those less-literate fortunate (See Oatmeal’s “10 Words You Need To Stop Misspelling” comic).
So we’ve seen a combination of both of what Weird Al concocted up here–and I STILL think he made it greater than their sum combined. Again, really impressed and really enjoy this parody of “Blurred Lines”.
As for the other 3 (so far) parody’s he’s released. Mm.. I don’t dig. In fact–actually–never mind. I don’t talk about songs I don’t dig on Tunes I Dig. Only tunes that I do dig.
In that case, I’ll stfu, and you can watch the video.
Enjoy!
PS. Yes I DO enjoy the irony that much of my formatting in this post and my entire blog in general are committing severe, Word Crimes.
