Weird Al Yankovic vuelve a “dar la nota” y publica “Don’t download this song”

El demoledor cantante-humorista/humorista-cantante ha vuelto a hacer de las suyas publicando una canción, adelanto de su próximo disco, llamada “Don’t Download This Song”, utilizando como base la melodía del megahit “We are the World”.

Sobre el hilo de las acciones de la RIAA contra los usuarios que descargan música sin obtener beneficio económico de ello, Yankovic nos deleita con una nueva muestra de su camaleónica capacidad de reinventar canciones.

Y por supuesto… usa Mac

Yankovic está en la memoria de los mayores de 35 años por haber sido capaz de reirse -de forma descarnada y descarada- de los grandes de la música pop como Michael Jackson, Madonna, Queen… ¡qué bueno descubrir que sigue activo y guerreando!

Puedes escuchar y descargar su canción en su página de MySpace.

Don’t Download This Song lyrics

Once in awhile, maybe you will feel the urge

To break international copyright laws

By downloading MP3s from file-sharing sites

Like Morpheus or Grockster or Limewire or Kazaa

But deep in your heart, you know the guilt would drive you mad

And the shame would leave a permanent scar

‘Cause you start out stealin’ songs, then you’re robbin’ liquor stores

And sellin’ crack and running over schoolkids with your car

So don’t download this song

The record store’s where you belong

Go and buy the CD like you know that you should

Oh, don’t download this song

Oh, you don’t want to mess with the RI-double-A

They’ll sue you if you burn that CD-R

It doesn’t matter if you’re a grandma or a seven-year-old girl

They’ll treat you like the evil hard-bitten criminal scum you are

So, don’t download this song

Don’t go pirating music all day long

Go and buy the CD like you know that you should

Oh, don’t download this song

Don’t take away money from artists just like me

How else can I afford another solid-gold Humvee?

And diamond-studded swimming pools? These things don’t grow on trees

So all I ask is everybody please

Don’t download this song (don’t do it, oh no)

Even Lars Ulrich knows it’s wrong (you can just ask him)

Go and buy the CD like you know that you should (you really should)

Oh, don’t download this song

Don’t download this song (other people should do it for you)

Might wind up in jail like Tommy Chong (remember Tommy)

Go and buy the CD (right now) like you know you should (go out and buy it)

Oh, don’t download this song

Don’t download this song (na, na, na, na, na, na, oh)

Or you’ll burn in hell before too long (and you deserve it)

Go and buy the CD (just buy it) like you know that you should (you cheap bastard)

Oh, don’t download this song
