Weird Al Takes On Lady Gaga (Top 11 of 11)

. Weird Al Takes On Lady Gaga was a top 11 story of 2011 for April. Here is the recap: Weird Al Yankovic had an up and down day over his parody of Born This Way by Lady Gaga called Perform This Way. The day started with Al telling fans that Gaga had denied permission for him to release the track... but it turns out that she loved it... it was her manager who made the blunder. Here is what Al had to say:

After putting my Lady Gaga parody on YouTube this morning � and announcing that it wouldn't be on my next album because Gaga didn't approve it � there was a huge outpouring of disappointment from the Internet.

Apparently the fact that she didn't approve it was news to Lady Gaga herself! Gaga's manager has now admitted that he never forwarded my parody to Gaga � she had no idea at all. Even though we assumed that Gaga herself was the one making the decision (because, well, that's what we were TOLD), he apparently made the decision completely on his own. - Happy ending here
