The most sincere form of flattery

"Weird Al" Yankovich has been parodying hit songs for many years. Some work, and some don't.

But we love what he's done to Lorde's Royals; check this out:




The latter part of the song is especially pertinent, with all the conspiracy theories doing the rounds at the moment out of the Kim Dotcom camp. Perhaps Weird Al could make a hat for the Large German Gentleman to wear as he plays out his bizarre fantasies about conspiracies which apparently go all the way to the Oval Office.

But anyway Lorde shouldn't be too unhappy. They say that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery!

We welcome comments, but we ask our commenters to follow a few simple rules:

1. We will delete anonymous comments. Please use either a name or pseudonym. We are not asking anyone to reveal their secret identity. Just don't call yourself "Anonymous".
2.We have a low tolerance for abusive comments and for trolling and/or attempts to take threads off-topic. Feel free to criticise the substance of what we have written, provided your criticism is intelligent and constructive. But abuse us or other commenters at the risk of us simply deleting your comment without warning; it's called editorial licence.
3. Please don't defame people; our budget doesn't run to defending legal actions as a party to defamation.

(PS: Thanks to Imperator Fish, upon whose rules these ones are based)
