My process for the parodies is that I get an idea for a song and then get approval from the artist and then go in and record it and probably try to get it out as soon as possible.

I can't say enough good things about my band. I feel very fortunate that I found them when I did, very early in my career. Not only are they just great, nice guys they're some of the best musicians you're likely to find. They do everything from gangsta rap to polka music and every genre in between. It's amazing.

By the time I'm in the studio recording my parody, 10,000 parodies of that song are on YouTube.

I knew we were having problems when you put those piranhas in my bathtub again.

The irony is of course that my career has lasted a whole lot longer than some of the people I've parodied over the years.

At this point I've got a bit of a track record. So people realize that when 'Weird Al' wants to go parody, it's not meant to make them look bad... it's meant to be a tribute.
