Yea, I saw this a couple weeks ago. Pretty funny and I didn't know he was still making songs. "Amish Paradise" is still the best parody he's done yet: Invalid Video Link

Even though most recording artists really do have a pretty good sense of humor, on a few very rare occasions Al has been denied permission to do a parody. Actually, the only artist to turn Al down consistently over the years has been the Artist Formerly Known As The Artist Formerly Known As Prince. Go figure.</div> Source <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">One of Yankovic's most controversial parodies was 1996's "Amish Paradise", based on "Gangsta's Paradise" by hip-hop artist Coolio. Reportedly, Coolio's label gave Yankovic the impression that Coolio had granted permission to record the parody, but Coolio maintains that he never did. Complicating the issue further, "Gangsta's Paradise" already samples heavily from a Stevie Wonder song, "Pastime Paradise." While Coolio claimed he was upset, legal action never materialised, and Coolio accepted royalty payments for the song. After this controversy, Yankovic has always made sure to speak directly with the artist of every song he parodied. At the XM Satellite Radio booth at the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show Yankovic and Coolio made peace. On his Website, Yankovic wrote of this event, "I don?t remember what we said to each other exactly, but it was all very friendly? I doubt I?ll be invited to Coolio?s next birthday party, but at least I can stop wearing that bulletproof vest to the mall."[28] In 2003, Yankovic was denied permission to make a video for "Couch Potato", his parody of Eminem's "Lose Yourself": "Last year, Eminem forced me to halt production on the video for my 'Lose Yourself' parody because he somehow thought that it would be harmful to his image or career."[29] </div> Source <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Another artist to have denied parody permission is Paul McCartney. Yankovic wrote a parody of "Live and Let Die" called "Chicken Pot Pie", but McCartney (a staunch vegetarian) denied permission.</div> Source

I used to like Weird Al when I was a little elementary school kid who thought fart jokes were funny, but he is really a no talent. His parodies are too obvious to be funny (ie: "I'm faaat, I'm faaat; instead of I'm baaad, I'm baad; how creative... ).
