Weird Al Parody Song of the Day: So “Weird Al” Yankovic wanted to include a spoof of Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” in his upcoming album — with all proceeds from the sale of the song and its subsequent music video going to benefit the Human Rights Campaign — but her management told him Ms. Germanotta would need to hear it first before final approval.

He sent her the lyrics, but was told she would need to hear an actual song. So Weird Al went to work producing a finished product for Lady Gaga to listen to. “Now, I never do that – never,” he writes in a blog post, “[b]ut because I was really excited about this parody, I decided I would faithfully jump through as many hoops as Gaga deemed necessary.” He cut his family vacation short and spent day and night in the studio in order to deliver the mixed and mastered track in a timely fashion to Gaga’s people.

A few days later he finally heard back: The answer was no. “As of this posting, I still don’t know specifically what kind of problem she has with the song (obviously I take a few jabs at her, but y’know, it’s satire – that’s how it’s supposed to work),” Weird Al says.

As the parody legally meets the criteria of “fair use,” Weird Al has decided to upload it to YouTube, and release a free MP3 on his site. “A conventional release for the song and video would have…raised a nice chunk of change for the HRC – an organization which I have to assume Gaga supports. Hopefully, if fans enjoy hearing the song online, they’ll make a donation anyway.”

boooo lady gaga. there’s no harm in this song. learn how to make fun of yourself, especially if all the proceeds are going to charity 

It’s because she’s the devil.

Well, shit. On the bright side, FUCK HRC YOU BASTARDS DON’T THINK I MATTER FUCK OFF AND DIE.

Actually, Gaga’s manager never sent her the song. She heard it, and really does like it.

    First off, Gaga didn’t say no, her manager did. Second… off, it was probably all a ploy. Her manager betrays her. Judas?...
