Weird Al's New Album: Track 4, I'll Sue Ya

This is the worst song on the album. It's supposed to be a sort of general parody of Rage Against the Machine, which is a band that broke up like 6 years ago. It just doesn't work. Now, Al's standard way to crank out a song is just to sing a list of weird statements about whatever the topic of the song is, then sing a chorus, then sing another list of weird statements. Sometimes this works, like with the White and Nerdy song. In that one, each line is almost completely unrelated to each other line, except for being related to nerdiness in some way. But at least it's funny, and your typical nerd can find a few things to relate to in that list. In this song, he just lists off names of big corporations, like Taco Bell, Dell Computers, and Delta Airlines, and then says he going to sue them for something lame.

Recommend: The whole song isn't really sung, so much as shouted, in a very poor approximation of the Rage Against the Machine guy's much more skilled shouting. "I feel guilty for giving a bad review".

I didn't like this song...I liked the R Kelly song and the first song. But this song bummed me out and pissed me off at the same time. It was no 'i'm addicted to spuds.'
