'Weird Al' Yankovic Takes on Gaga in Full 'Perform This Way' Video -- Premiere

Weird Al YankovicJive

"Weird Al" Yankovic has once again outdone himself. After a controversial tug o' war with Lady Gaga, the comedian was allowed to record 'Perform This Way,' a hilariously over-the-top parody of 'Born This Way.' After posting a 30-second snippet of the clip last week, Yankovic is now releasing the full version of the great video.

Directed by Yankovic himself, 'Perform This Way' features the funnyman's visage superimposed on a woman in various forms of ridiculous Gaga-style dress, including steak and bubble outfits. "I'll be a troll or evil queen/I'll be a human jelly bean/'Cause every day is Halloween/For me ..." Al sings while donning the bizarre get-ups.

I don't mean any harm, but I think it is a birth defect. That may sound like I'm putting them down but I'm not. Anyway what does any of this gay talk have to do with, Probably Weird Al's best parody to date.

Like this comment if you know the majority of weird Al haters (and lovers as well) missed the Ministry reference(Everyday is Halloween(for me)), to add to the list of borrowed talent of gaga.

Weird Al is more than just a comedian. Yes, he does lots of parodies, but he still writes his own non-parody material for his albums. He's been doing crazy performances since before KAKA was born, and any "artist" who doesn't appreciate a good parody has no sense of humor. I mean, who protested Weird Al's parodies? Eminem? Coolio even though he ripped a Stevie Wonder song, and Gaga? Give me a break, even Kurt Cobain loved Al's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" parody. Long live Weird Al!
