This one’s for Jeff! Mainly because no one else will care.

Weird Al is back with POODLE HAT
‘Weird Al’ Yankovic spoofs a whole new crop of pop stars on his latest album, POODLE HAT, due May 20 from Way Moby/Volcano Records. On the 12-track set, you’ll hear the album’s lead track, ‘Couch Potato,’ a commentary on America’s obsession with media and celebrity, set to Eminem’s ‘Lose Yourself.’
While Eminem did approve the track, he asked that Al not make a video for the song. Also on POODLE HAT, Avril Lavigne’s ‘Complicated’ becomes ‘A Complicated Song,’ while Nelly’s ‘Hot in Herre’ is morphed into ‘Trash Day.’ Yankovic also turns Billy Joel’s ‘Piano Man’ into a ‘Spiderman’ parody as ‘Ode to a Superhero,’ and the Backstreet Boys’ ‘I Want It That Way’ into the send-up ‘eBay.’
