“Weird Al” Does Lady Gaga

Mildly scathing:

I’m disappointed to learn Lady Gaga has no sense of humor (or a thin skin). And, really, shouldn’t have Al just asked Madonna for the rights to the song anyway?

Many thanks to Ben.

UPDATE: Lady Gaga has a sense of humor after all (or has decided to come off as though she does because of backlash):

Well, this was a strange day.

After putting my Lady Gaga parody on YouTube this morning – and announcing that it wouldn’t be on my next album because Gaga didn’t approve it – there was a huge outpouring of disappointment from the Internet.

Apparently the fact that she didn’t approve it was news to Lady Gaga herself!

Gaga’s manager has now admitted that he never forwarded my parody to Gaga – she had no idea at all. Even though we assumed that Gaga herself was the one making the decision (because, well, that’s what we were TOLD), he apparently made the decision completely on his own.

He’s sorry.

And Gaga loves the song.

I’m thrilled on many levels to hear this, because 1) I truly respect and admire Gaga as an artist and it pained me to think of her as having less than a great sense of humor, and 2) it means I GET TO PUT OUT MY ALBUM!

As promised, all my proceeds from the song (and the MUSIC VIDEO… I can’t wait…) will go to the Human Rights Campaign.

Thank you, Gaga. And thanks to everybody who had my back.

Whew!

Your pal,
Al

I love the video but far prefer the original version with its faster rapping:

“To The Victims Of This Tragedy We Send Our Thoughts And Prayers” By Roy Zimmerman

A satirization of Sarah Palin and what she represents:

Of course, as it turned out there were no direct connections between Sarah Palin and Jared Lee Loughner. Nonetheless this is entirely valid criticism of the completely reckless conflation of guns with politics, self-righteous apocalyptic theocratic jingoistic religion, loose talk about revolution, and hyperbolic associations of Democrats with tyrants (over a desire as patently benign as universal health care legislation).

My own thoughts on the political relevance of Tucson were chronicled at the time in the posts:
