I grew up listening to Weird Al, and this is one of my all-time favorite songs by him. It's a great jab at the attitudes of superstars, the music industry, and the RIAA. I strongly recommend downloading "Don't Download This Song", and if you like it, buying a copy of the album it's from, "Straight Outta Lynwood". The album has very few weak points and has some amazing music videos with it, including one for this song.

I have grown up with Weird Al, have met him once, and he is one of the most down to earth, legit guys in the music business. And the fact that he is letting people get one of his tracks for free is a great little kick to his fans, and the song has a great message to it.

Thanks Al!

Sure, it's not his best work, but hey, it's a FREE WEIRD AL SONG! And it's good, to boot. I could make the obvious joke about "worth the price", but I'll let that one go, and instead mock the person who gave it a bad review, and can't spell "parody". Hey, if you want to be taken seriously, get a spell checker. And, just maybe, use some punctuation. It doesn't have to be an Essay, but dude....

Get the Weird Al song, get the album. He's a cool guy, and does some really good work.

I love this song, but it keeps showing up "price not available." If this keeps happening, I won't download this song somewhere else. Please, fix the link. For the children's sake.

Brilliantly poignant lyrics cut to the heart of the debate over DRM (Digital Rights Management) in the recording industry. I couldn't help but LOL (that's laugh out loud for you non-IMers). I'm glad I won't "burn in hell before too long" because I buy my music - from Amazon and iTunes!! Thanks, Mr. Y, for another album of music that entertains the whole family. We all love you!!

Do yourself a favor and follow the title - don't download this song. It wasn't worth the time to download it even though it was free. I like some of Weird Al's songs, but this one is really bad.

You love stealing ideas from MICHAEL JACKSON don't you? You did the parady for beat it your version "eat it" which by the way was funny even in his death your jocking MJ. I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, huh?
