TRUTH!!! but even though by US law he doesn't have to get permission to parody a song he still DOES ask permission!

@kirikakirikakirika 3 года назад

Lady Gaga fired her agent because he didn't tell her that Weird Al asked permission to make a parody of "Born This Way". Instead of going to her with the request, her agent lied to Al and said she said he wasn't allowed. So instead of adding it to his new CD, he simply made a music video for fun, but this meant the song couldn't be bought. Al also said the proceeds would go to charity, which is likely why the agent told him no. Gaga got so angry she formally apologized to Al and made sure it was the first song on his new CD. :)

@prodigalson6166 3 года назад

Thank you. That's good to hear. Lady Gaga is a great artist, on par in Talent with Freddie Mercury, and very creative with her gimmicks to get attention..

@ScorpiusZA. 3 года назад

He didn't need permission to make the parody. It's just his principal to always ask for it. “You’re Pitiful” is proof of this. He didn't get permission from Atlantic Records and stuck it to them by putting it on his website and allowing it to be downloaded as well for free.

@skilledwarman 3 года назад

oh you left out the worst part. the agent was pretending he had talked to Gaga and she had multiple stipulations Al needed to meet to do the song. That all resulted in him writing, recording, and mastering the whole thing before the agent said "nah she says it shit, lol" and telling him he couldnt release it. Thats when Al put out his open letter explaining the situation (as he knew it) and released the song for charity. Gaga found out about it when the press started reaching out for comment. Fired her agent, issued Al a personal apology, gave him blanket permission to use any of her music whenever he wanted, and talked about how shes always been a fan and thinks getting covered by him is an achievement. I also think she made a large donation to the charity he was planning to send the proceeds to, but dont quote me on that part

@@ScorpiusZA.Edit: When I wrote this, I thought it was true, but after looking it up (which I thought I did back then) I'm not certain that there actually is a real hardline difference between parody and spoof. I'm leaving it up, but take it with a grain of salt. It actually depends, parody is protected under fair use, spoofing is not. Some of weird Al's songs are parodies (i.e. they are making fun/commentary on the source material) and others are spoofs (they take the tune, but the song has nothing to do with the original one). I don't know where this one falls, because he is making light hearted fun at Lady Gaga, but he's not particularity commenting on the original song.

He asks because it is polite & respectful that's why he always asks if he can do his version ( parody) of that artist song. Unlike maybe others who just go ahead & do their version. Of which i think is DISGRACEFUL & i wouldn't listen to that performer ever again due to NO RESPECT!!! to another performer.

@douglaswitney6736 10 месяцев назад

Actually you don't have to ask if you are doing parody non-commercial but if you are commercializing or fundraising you actually do have to have use-of-likeness permission and there is a fascinating story about how it came down to the wire on getting permission on this so they could fundraise for a charitable cause --

@DrAnderson1 2 месяца назад

Under fair use laws, Yankovic had the legal right to release the album, including “Perform This Way” without her permission. But because of his own personal ethics regarding intellectual property, he won't do it. At least, not for money.…in a situation such as this, choosing not to use the song on an upcoming album, he’s known to release the song for public consumption using his social media platforms & any proceeds go to charity. The proceeds for Perform This Way were donated to the Human Right Campaign.

Coolio got supremely pissed off about Amish Paradise, and not only did Al apologize and state that he thought he HAD gotten permission to parody Gangster's paradise, but that spurred him on to make sure he ALWAYS had the artist's blessing. And when he didn't get it, bam! no parody. Prince outright said he didn't want any parodies of him ever, and Al never did, only mentioning him once in "Word crimes". class act.

I heard that Wierd Al came up with this parody in defense of Lady Gaga. Around the time, critics were bashing Lady Gaga for her very outlandish dress attire and for the way she did her music videos. Some critics even went as far as to question Lady Gaga's mental stability, especially after she walked down the streets of her neighborhood wearing a tight flesh toned suit decorated with bejeweled pasties and crotch piece. When Wierd Al got the green light from her to do a parody, he came up whis this song as a way of saying "Hey! Just because someone dresses strange to you, it doesnt mean they are crazy. Its how they like to perform."

@cockroachcharlie5619 5 лет назад

More or less. At first he didn't get the green light but did it anyway. Lady Gaga's agent didn't think she would approve. When she did hear the song, she loved it and more or less considers it a sequel to Born This Way for the reasons you mentioned above. And @Code Optimization Ware it helps that all three of them have a hell of a sense of humor. :-)

Unquestionable proof that Al "gets it" with respect to Lady Gaga more than the critics and the pearl-clutchers do.
