lol, it took everyone like 20 minutes. I also had to leave.
Sorry, forgot about the public figure rule.
No worries, it looks like you have a lot of people willing to help out.
spin up an instance of your favorite fediverse social media frontend and boom: instant archival of everything public people share (when configured correctly)
Based af weird al
This means Weird Al cannot complain about the ways i aquired his albums as a teenager.
He made a song that named several popular music sharing sites while mocking industry greed eons ago. He 100% supports your actions.
Weird Al is just happy if people are listening.
Once in awhile, maybe you will feel the urge
To break international copyright law
By downloading MP3s from file-sharing sites
Like Morpheus, or Grokster, 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 stealing songs, then you’re robbing liquor stores
And selling crack and running over school kids 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 R-I-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, no, 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 (oh, please don’t you do it or you)
Might wind up in jail like Tommy Chong (remember Tommy)
Go and buy the CD (right now)
Like you know that you should (go out and buy it)
Oh, don’t download this song
Don’t download this song (no, no, no, no, no, no)
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)!
Back in the days before streaming I had a large folder of Weird Al stuff including stuff that was mistagged because it was a funny song that sounded like it could be him.
Weird Al is the biggest fucking Chad I swear. He’s gotta have a 64 inch dick.

Both names of songs of his actually.

His power obviously comes from his majestic hair
In if my favorites from him is “don’t download this song”
“You’ll burn in hell before too long “
“And you deserve it!”
“go and buy the cd-“
“Go out and buy it, you cheap bastard!”
“-and don’t download this song”
Which was only available as a download XD
Also was on the Straight Outta Lynwood album.
You might wind up in jail like Tommy Chong
Remember Tommy!
There is something about that tweet right at the edge of understanding. Almost subliminal in nature.
That’s really good. He should be a comedian or something.
