"Weird Al" Is Back With Parody Of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way"

Most tend to forget that Weird Al Yankovic sold a ton of records when he first released an album of Michael Jackson parodies like "Eat It" to the Jackson penned "Beat It" soundtrack. .. Now Yankovic is back again with a parody of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way", with "Perform This Way". Gaga has already granted permission to Yankovic to do the parody.

"Weird Al" Yankovic revealed online that he had recorded a parody of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way," and it had been slated as the lead single from his upcoming album.

Yankovic announced on Wednesday night that Gaga had approved the song after a misunderstanding.


He wrote in a blog post, "Gaga’s manager has now admitted that he never forwarded my parody to Gaga , she had no idea at all. Even though we assumed that Gaga herself was the one making the decision (because, well, that’s what we were TOLD), he apparently made the decision completely on his own. He’s sorry. And Gaga loves the song.
