Re: A Thread for Random Videos
Weird Al was planning to put this on his new album, and was counting on it to be the big single to sell the album. He didn't need Lady Gaga's permission to do this but it is his policy to ask permission anyway. Lady Gaga made him jump through a lot of hoops then said "No" at the end. Here's Al's blog post about it.
I'm not a Lady Gaga hater or fan, or a Weird Al hater or fan, I just thought the whole thing was an interesting read.
