Weird Al Says 'Don't Download This Song'

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday August 22, 2006 @10:41AM from the really-he-would-like-you-to-though dept.

Kazzahdrane writes "Known geek and comedy singer/songwriter Weird Al Yankovic has released the first song from his new album 'Straight Outta Lynwood' for free on his MySpace page. The track is entitled 'Don't Download This Song' and tells of the dangers of illegally downloading music from filesharing sites." His MySpace page is most excellent. "Hi. Al here. No, really, it's Al. Seriously. What, you don't believe me? Go ahead, check weirdal.com. Hit the MySpace link. See if it brings you right back to this page. Go ahead. I'll wait. See? It's really me. I should point out... this means that conversely, all those other people on MySpace who are claiming to be me or implying that they are me... are definitely NOT me. I'm sure they're very nice people... they're just not 'Weird Al' Yankovic. I assure you."

I will down load it twice, just to show you.
Really if you don't like Weird Al then you must have been unloved as a child.

Something is seriously wrong with your ears if you can't hear artifacts in 96kbps MP3. Sure, it's probably acceptable, but if you're actually gonna listen to it why not go for the better version?
