Weird Al - Ebay (Parody of The Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way")

Details

Description

Welcome back YouTubeers; Utility back with another brand new music video. Today we return to the parody work of a newly awarded Walk of Fame Star recipient; “Weird AL” Yankovic. We have been listening to “Weird Al’s” music since we first heard his music on the Dr. Demento radio program, in the the mid 1990’s. Since then, we have collected all of his albums & can sing, by memory, almost every track.

Today’s selected track is eBay from the Poodle Hat Album; a song that features, the story of a compulsive e-shopper—with too much time and money for his own good. Another parody track that is a parody of The Backstreet Boys song I want it that way. Recently, we were in the grocery store; where over the speaker system, the original version was playing—we could not resist, singing the “Weird Al” version. Well, enough of our ramblings; enjoy!

"Weird Al" Yankovic - Ebay (Parody of "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys)

Lyrics:

Yeah
A used pink bathrobe
A rare mint snowglobe
A Smurf TV tray
I bought on eBay

My house is filled with this crapShows up in bubble wrapMost every day
What I bought on eBay

Tell me why (I need another pet rock)
Tell me why (I got that Alf alarm clock)
Tell me why (I bid on Shatner's old toupee)
They had it on eBay

I'll buy your knick-knack
Just check my feedback"A++!" they all say
They love me on eBay

Gonna to buy (a slightly-damaged golf bag)
Gonna buy (some Beanie Babies, new with tag)
(From some guy) I've never met in NorwayFound him on eBay


I am the type who is liable to snipe youWith two seconds left to go, whoa
Got Paypal or Visa, what ever'll please ya
As long as I've got the dough

I'll buy your tchotchkes
Sell me your watch, please
I'll buy (I'll buy, I'll buy, I'll buy)I'm highest bidder now

(Junk keeps arriving in the mail)(From that worldwide garage sale) (Dukes Of Hazard ashtray)(Hey! A Dukes Of Hazard ashtray)
Oh yeah (I bought it on eBay)

Wanna buy (a PacMan Fever lunchbox)
Wanna buy (a case of vintage tube socks)
Wanna to buy (a Kleenex used by Dr. Dre, Dr. Dre)(Found it on eBay)

Want to buy (that Farrah Fawcet poster)
(Pez dispensers and a toaster)
(Don't know why, the kind of stuff you'd throw away)
(I'll buy on eBay)

What I bought on eBay
