Weird Al Yankovic Takes On T.I.'s "Whatever You Like"

Thursday October 9, 2008

It's hard to believe Weird Al Yankovic has been creating pop parodies for 25 years now. With his latest, a take on T.I.'s smash "Whatever You Like," it's abundantly clear he has not lost any of his unique touch. It's also hard to miss the social and economic commentary in his tale of giving his lover "whatever you like" which amounts to bargain purchases from Wal-Mart to fast food joints. Weird Al's last album, Straight Outta Lynwood included the hysterically funny "White and Nerdy." Check out "Whatever You Like" below, and let us know what you think.

Actually, it’s been 29 years. He started for real in 1979 with My Balogna, not including any of the songs he’s written at the age of 12 through highschool, haha.
