Classic, classic, classic. Weird Al Yankovic is back, and how! See if you can spot the special guest celebrity dancing with Al in the video too.
Apparently the single went top 10 in the USA, giving him his first ever top 10 hit, not even classics like Fat or Eat It managed it..
Needless to say, the dualdisc version of the album has been ordered :)
EDIT: Compare and contrast with the original Chamillionaire tune here:

Have a look on his Myspace page for the brilliant James Blunt parody, "You're Pitiful"

Got the dualdisc Weird Al album yesterday. It rocks, and a review is on my website (hit that www box now and the reviews section)
Incidentally, the DVD has 6 animated videos to 6 of the songs, the best of which has to be "I'll Sue Ya" done completely in the style of Rage Against The Machine, a la "Bombtrack". Check it out on Youtube...
Weird Al - I'll Sue Ya!
Love the animation, and the slight change of product brand names, hehe..

Yeah, it rocks! But I'm of the opinion that it almost sounds too much like RATM to be called a Weird Al original.

Did anyone else spot Seth Green in the White and Nerdy video as well? See if you can see where, I did! :)
And the Chamillionaire spoof logo at the start is shaped like Pacman, haha, classic.
Also, don't know if you can tell of the Youtube version, but Weird Al is wearing a tie with the Teletubbies on it in the I'll Sue Ya video. Bizarre!

Not sure but i think Barats & Bereta predate the Venerable W. All on this one.

Brilliant stuff - Al is Back, alright
I think that "I'll Sue Ya" vid was done by the dude who did the Star Wars rap a while back... looks like his style, f'sher.
