“Weird Al” Yankovic’s “Don’t Download This Song”: Even Lars Ulrich Knows it’s Wrong

“Weird Al” Yankovic knows his stuff. “Don’t Download This Song” is a perfect example of reverse psychology. And it’s pretty funny to boot. It’s, of course, all a crass marketing angle to promote his new album, Straight Outta Lynwood, which hits September 26. And are we going to fall for it and give you a link to his MySpace page where you can download the song?

Are you kidding? He’s “Weird Al” Fucking Yankovic. I’ve been listening to him for as long as I can remember. Go now. Pre-order his album here.
