Weird Al spoofs T.I.'s 'Whatever You Like'

Musical comic "Weird Al" Yankovic has offered up his take on the current No. 1 hit in America, T.I.'s "Whatever You Like," and is distributing the cut online.

Yankovic, whose remake is also titled "Whatever You Like," "topically mashes together the swagger of the T.I. song with the cold, hard realities of our current economic climate," according to a press release from his label, Jive Records.

Starting today, the song is available exclusively for two weeks via Apple's iTunes Music Store, after which it will be available at all major online retailers, according to Jive.

"One of the hardest things I've had to deal with in my career is keeping my material topical even though I only release albums every three or four years," Yankovic said in a prepared statement. "Now, with the advent and popularity of digital distribution, I don't have to wait around while my songs get old and dated--I can get them out on the Internet almost immediately. It kind of boggles my mind--I thought of the idea for this new song a week ago, and [today] it's getting released!"
