As I reported back on Thursday, there was a bit of a kerfuffle between "Weird Al" Yankovic and Lady Gaga. In case you don't want to go back and click on that entry, here's the Coles Notes. Weird Al had an idea for a parody of Born This Way, Lady Gaga made him write and produce the whole song before signing off on it...and then she said no. Weird Al was grumpy that all his hard work had been for naught and was getting ready to release it as a free download.
But then, on Thursday afternoon, the whole story came out. Turns out Lady Gaga...never heard Weird Al's parody. Her manager was the one who said "She wants to hear the whole thing first," and her manager was the one who ultimately said, "No." Once Weird Al posted the song online and told his story, Lady Gaga finally heard the parody, loved it, and officially gave it her thumbs up!
So that means, Weird Al's new album is on track! A release date of June 21 has been announced, and Weird Al has revealed the name of his next album!
Get ready for...the Alpocalypse!
Oh, and if you don't want to wait until June 21, you can buy his Lady Gaga parody, Perform This Way, on iTunes TODAY!!
