If I Could Be Weird Al

Hey, funny music fans: If you could be any recording artist, who would it be? Hint: He has long, dark, curly hair, a "Bedrock" song, and a brand-new album that drops today.

Unfortunately, we can't all be Lil Wayne.

So could we settle for being "Weird Al" Yankovic instead? YES WE COULD.

To prove that, here's a parody [naturally] of "Billionaire" as performed by Travie McCoy featuring Bruno Mars. It is crammed full of Weird Al references and is brought to you by this supergroup of Alcolytes:

Concept, lyrics, and talent wrangling: M. Spaff Sumsion
Instruments, mixing, and production: Bob Emmet
Singy vocals: Robert Lund
Rappy vocals [in order of appearance]: ShoEboX [of Worm Quartet], TV's Kyle, Tom Smith, Carrie Dahlby, Seamonkey, Jared Ringold [of Possible Oscar], Devo Spice, Spaff.com, the great Luke Ski, Jesse Smith [of Morning Sidekick], Dr. Milo T. Pinkerton III [of Consortium of Genius], Bill Dant, Steve Goodie, Insane Ian, and Jeff Reuben

Listen for cameos by Al's [and our] sensei, Dr. Demento, and Weird Al himself, who said this about this assemblage: "I'm absolutely honored by this and they have my full approval. Please send along my sincere gratitude to Spaff and the gang!"

Back atcha, Al.

Spasiba, comrades!

Incidentally, this song was intended for the Weird Al tribute album Twenty-Six and a Half but showed up late for the party.

This song is now available on the following CDs:

Ok! So this is FINALLY gonna make us rich! The parodied song is "Billionaire" and it's about Weird Al, the only true money-maker in this biz! Now let me check my FuMP account for all that sweet, sweet cash... aw nuts.

Spaff, can you buy my coffee this morning? Looks like I've gotta write some new songs...!

Sincerely though, thanks for including me! Now we all can say, Al cameo-ed on a song I was in!

They warned us that if we kept using words like "awesome" and "epic" they wouldn't have the power to describe something really awesome and epic like this. Now back to my bowl of awesome corn flakes with epic milk.

"Awesome," "epic," "full of cheesy goodness," "intelligently designed," "mormon-esque," "medium-bodied," "pungent (in a good way)," "with a hint of celery," "nice to smell," "socially redeemable," "Lifetime Television-worthy." These are just a few of the adjectives (and modifying phrases) that come to mind when I eat corn flakes (and listen to this song). Thanks for making this happen Spaff and the Bobs! And thanks to Al for phoning it in! (for 30 years now) :)

This isn't as awesome or epic as We are the Fump but it's a close 2nd.

Ian: Thank YOU for being part of it. Your bit includes what is effectively a cover of the entire WAY song "Iguana" (and then some). So add that to your resume.

Rob: Awesome point. Epic comment.

Steve: Heh. In this case, Al actually did phone it in.

CaptNova: Your comment isn't as awesome or epic as those above it, but it's a close 5th and 6th.

This came together epically awesome! Spaff, thanks again for bringing me into the project, I'm also thrilled to have been a part of it.

Tom: Indeed. For the record, you're a riot here too. (Not just in France.)

Jeff: Thanks for playing along. How many songs are there where your voice morphs into Dr. Demento's? I'm guessing fewer than a dozen or two.

Wow....just.....Wow. Speaking of late to the party, if'n only I hadn't been preocupado with personal-type crap in the timeframe this was being put together, as I was sposed to be on it, now I am sad Salad. But youse all did extremely Columbia - I mean, Epic jobs on this and certainly the coup of the century to get both Dr D AND Al to appear! Truly the apex of FuMPdom. Bravo! A&E!

Damn - 500th song, and now this. 2011 is the Year of the FuMP! Congratulations!!!

I just wish this hadn't been a parody of such a lousy song. The music is SO boring! This would have been better a capella. The rapping was surprisingly good from all the non-rappers.

Chris: Never fear. You're still, like, the moneyest of the Cosmonauts. ("You're so money and you don't even know it!") And right now I'm cooking up something Pink especially for you.

Jesse: I thought this was the year of the bunny. (But I suppose Hugh Hefner feels otherwise right now.) Thanks for your smirky, quirky vocals.

garnsr: "Billionaire" is boring?! I'll have you know that it went to #1 in the Netherlands! And it was covered on Glee! Which just goes to prove that...well...never mind.
