Don't Download This Song

OK, really stupid question time:

Is it just me, or is the Cheap Bastard line much more audible in the MySpace lower quality version than the one found on the song's website?

Maybe I'm just crazy

Your percieved sound quality will depend greatly upon your audio equipment, human ears, proximity to the sun, (or remaining planets), etc. Technically, on paper, the higher bitrate download from DDTS.com(@160kbit/sec) should be better than the Myspace version(96kbit/sec), but whatever "works better, sounds better, feels better" for you and your equipment... go with it.

Remember. Don't download ANY of Al's music. Go and Buy the CD. Go see Al in concert. Buy as many tee shirts as you can possibly afford. They make great halloween presents.

Yes, folks, let's talk about White & Nerdy in a topic about Don't Download This Song.

While we're at it, I'm gonna go bump the "eBay" song discussion topic and talk about "Jurassic Park".

No need to be rude or sarcastic, Friz. When he posted that the topic was called "The Big World Premiere Topic." Therefore the subject fit. Now that it's been changed though, the conversation about W&N goes to the other thread.

Be nice!

But rude and sarcastic is the way I work!

Oh... fine. You and your crazy rules...

Hey, I'm a fan of sarcasm. And honestly, I got that you were trying to be funny.

Sarcasm is practically a necessity in this boring hum-drum world of ours. Without sarcasm, wit would be suffering as a form of humour, and Chandler from friends would just be boring.

I have to apologize... and it is not often that I do this...

When I first saw the video to "Don't Download This Song," I was very very disapointed. I was expecting a standard Al video, and when that didnt' happen, my eyes burrowed in that frown prosition.

However, I just watched it again, because AOL played it after the "White and Nerdy" video...

Brilliant. It's not a video from my close personal friend Weird Al and I understand that now, but from the standpoint of artisitc interpretation, I really love it.

I apologize for not seeing the brilliance of indepentant interpretation before, but I am now REALLY looking forward to seeing all the videoes on DVD, because I know they will be interesting and fun, even if I don't "get" them.

I call that making amends gracefully

Enjoy the album and its animations, dear Ovitz.
