Hearing Don't Download This Song -- Weird Al Yankovic

Your Amusing and Ironic Link for the Day


Weird Al Yankovic has written a satirical song about music piracy called "Don't Download This Song" -- and he's offering it as a free download. I think my little head might explode from the irony.

Also, it's a fairly amusing song.

Here's Al's MySpace page, where you can listen to a streaming version of the song -- and download it! Free! Gaaaaah!

    My high school band (Stacey/DC) had a brief period where we did nothing but unfunny anti-parodies of Weird Al songs.
