Brand new video from Weird Al

Posted by Nick Spacek on Tue, Jun 16, 2009 at 8:00 AM

Weird Al Yankovic has just put up the video for his new song, "Craigslist." You'd know that if you followed his Twitter feed. It's not a straight song parody. Rather, it's one of his "style parodies," where the song is original, but sounds like a kind of style -- i.e., "Your Horoscope For Today" didn't parody any specific ska song, but it certainly sounded an awful lot like Reel Big Fish, Save Ferris, et al (it also happened to feature the Reel Big Fish horn section).

Much like that song, "Craigslist" sounds an awful lot like the Doors and even has Ray Manzarek on keys. If you like it enough, it's an iTunes exclusive, but the video is good enough for now.

OK, so, that song totally cracked me up. Weird Al -- totally predictable but gets me every time.
