Happy birthday to Weird Al Yankovic who celebrates his birthday today. Yankovic was born on 23 October 1959 in Downey, California.

Yankovi is best known for the spoofs he creates, by taking popular songs and substituting the lyrics for hilarious gems of his own. He has won 3 Gammiy Awards for his songs. Some of his spoof songs include: Pretty Fly for a Rabbi (original: Pretty Fly for a White Guy), Amish Paradise (Gangster’s Paradise), I love Rocky Road (I love Rock and Roll) The Saga Begins (American Pie) and Another one Rides the Bus (Another one bites the dust).

So in honour of Weird Al I’ll post a part of  lyrics to one of his parodies It’s a very long song).  It’s All about the Pentiums parodies It’s all about the Benjamins by Sean  “Puff Daddy” Combs.

“It’s All About The Pentiums”

It’s all about the Pentiums, baby

(Uhh, uh-huh, yeah Uhh, uh-huh, yeah)

It’s all about the Pentiums, baby [x2]

It’s all about the Pentiums! (It’s all about the Pentiums, baby) [x2]

Yeah . What y’all wanna do?

Wanna be hackers? Code crackers? Slackers

Wastin’ time with all the chatroom yakkers?

9 to 5, chillin’ at Hewlett Packard?

Workin’ at a desk with a dumb little placard?

Yeah, payin’ the bills with my mad programming skills

Defraggin’ my hard drive for thrills

I got me a hundred gigabytes of RAM

I never feed trolls and I don’t read spam

Installed a T1 line in my house

Always at my PC, double-clickin’ on my mizouse

Upgrade my system at least twice a day

I’m strictly plug-and-play, I ain’t afraid of Y2K

I’m down with Bill Gates, I call him “Money” for short

I phone him up at home and I make him do my tech support

It’s all about the Pentiums, what?

You’ve gotta be the dumbest newbie I’ve ever seen

You’ve got white-out all over your screen

You think your Commodore 64 is really neato

What kinda chip you got in there, a Dorito?

You’re usin’ a 286? Don’t make me laugh

Your Windows boots up in what, a day and a half?

You could back up your whole hard drive on a floppy diskette

You’re the biggest joke on the Internet

Your database is a disaster

You’re waxin’ your modem, tryin’ to make it go faster

Hey fella, I bet you’re still livin’ in your parents’ cellar

Downloadin’ pictures of Sarah Michelle Gellar

And postin’ “Me too!” like some brain-dead AOL-er

I should do the world a favor and cap you like Old Yeller

You’re just about as useless as jpegs to Hellen Keller

(Yankovic)
