"Weird Al" Yankovic is rolling out his new album, "Mandatory Fun," by releasing eight videos over the next eight days. The first one comes in the form of a parody of Pharrell's "Happy," one of the biggest singles of 2014 so far, dubbed "Tacky" -- watch the send-up below (via Nerdist):
Here are a few of the lyrical gems contained within (via Zumic):
It might seem crazy wearing stripes with plaid / I Instagram every meal I’ve had
***
I meet some chick, ask her this or that / Like, “Are you pregnant, girl, or just really fat?”
***
Wear my Ed Hardy shirt with florescent orange pants / Got my new résumé, it’s printed in Comic Sans
***
43 bumper stickers and a YOLO license plate / Bring along my coupon book whenever I’m on a date
***
I get drunk at the bank and take off my shirt at least / I would live tweet a funeral, take selfies with the deceased
