And so 'Weird Al' always gets an artists' permission to parody a song... so how did the 'Amish Paradise' controversy happen?

So, yeah. 'Weird Al' got Stevie Wonder's permission to parody his song...

But it was Coolio who got upset!

No. It was a trick of the record companies. 'Wierd Al' thought he got Coolio's permission.

Still... Coolio was parodying Stevie Wonder's song!

And it totally went against the message of 'Pastime paradise'!

World, you are crazy.

Sincerely,

David S. Annderson

One of my favorite 'Weird Al' songs, by the way!
