Don't Download this Song!
 

[Taken from Slashdot]

Weird Al's new album features a song about illegal music sharing, which is ironically up for free download on his myspace page.

I thought it was pretty funny, how about you?

Gives me a headache after hearing it so much :(

Again with the copying of another artist.

System of A Down's "Don't Steal This Album" anyone?

Re: Don't Download this Song!
 

my favorite title for something is still "Steal this Computer Book"

but my friend just told me about this song earlier it is hilarious

Yar, I be takin' the album, and then I be steelin' the book . Argh.

Re: Don't Download this Song!
 

But the album title is "Steal This Album!"

I've never been much of a fan of Weird Al. I prefer music serious, or somewhat at least.

Re: Don't Download this Song!
 

Usually his lyrics are a little more catchy or have double-meanings, but I did like this one. It would be more funny if the subject wasn't so serious.

Anyone remember Abbie Hoffman's "Steal This Book"? Maybe I'm dating myself, but it was way before (home) computers.

(Note: FWIW, Abbie was a 60's radical kind of guy, and he writes about how to 'stick it to the man'.)

Oops.. meh.. I knew it was something like that.

Oh wells.. I'm not one to claim I'm never wrong, but this would be my one time this year.

And I'm not one to pass up an oppurtunity to prove someone wrong. Especially since I'm a huge SoaD fan.
