Whatever You Like Lyrics - Wierd Al Yankovic

[jeffrey]

This is the latest parady from Weird Al Yonkovich of the hit song "Whatever You Like" by T.I. -- I'm curious as to what you all think of it in regard to being frugal, saving money and whether it's positive or negative for those who are frugal:

YouTube - "Weird Al" Yankovic - Whatever You Like

Here are the lyrics to read along as you listen

Hey girl,
You know our economy's in the toilet
But I’m still going to treat you right

I said you can have whatever you like (if you like)
I said you can have whatever you like (if you like) yeah, yeah

Tater tots, Cold Duck on ice
And we can clip coupons all night
And baby you can have whatever you like (if you like)
I said you can have whatever you like (if you like) yeah, yeah

Take you out for dinner, anywhere that you please
Like Burger King or Mickey Ds
And baby you can have whatever you like (if you like)
I said you can even have the large fry (large fry) yeah, yeah

Baby, you should know I am really quite a sweet guy
When I buy you bathroom tissue I always get the two-ply
Want it, you can get it, my dear
I got my Costco membership card right here, yeah

You like Top Ramen, need Top Ramen
Got a cupboard full of 'em, I’ll keep 'em coming
You want it, I got it, go get it, just heat it
Dump the flavor packet on it and eat it

Pork and beans and Minute Rice
And we can play Cribbage all night
And baby you can have whatever you like (if you like)
I said you can have whatever you like (if you like) yeah, yeah

I can take you to the laundromat downtown
And watch all the clothes go round and round
And baby we can go wherever you like (if you like)
I said we can go wherever you like (if you like) yeah, yeah

Hottest shorty I know, if you had some lipo
You could be second-runner-up Miss Ohio
Seven dollar bills rolled
Up inside my plastic billfold
Buy you a bagel even if it isn’t day old
And you never ever gotta wear your sister’s old clothes
As long as I’m still assistant manager at Kinko’s
Cut your hair with scissors and a soup bowl
You ain’t got to pay me, that’s the way that I roll

My chick can have want she want
At Wal-mart she can pick out anything she want
I know girl you ain’t never had a man like that
Who doesn’t make you buy generic brand like that, Yeah

You like my Hyundai, see my Hyundai
I can take you to see your cousin Phil next Sunday
But that’s kind of far and I’m not made of cash
Do you think you could chip in for gas?
Mac and Cheese would be all right
But let’s send out for pizza tonight
And you can order any toppings you like (if you like)
I said you can even have the last slice (the last slice) yeah, yeah

Ran myself a cable from my neighbor next do'
Now I can get free HBO
And baby you can watch whatever you like (if you like)
I said you can watch whatever you like (if you like) yeah

And you can always ride the city bus
Got a stack of tokens just for us
Yo, my wallet’s fat and full of ones
It’s all about the Washingtons, that’s right

You want White Castle, need White Castle
Long as you got me it won’t be no hassle
You want it, we’ll get it, just don’t be a hater
If I grab a bunch of napkins for later

Thrift store jeans on sale half-price
The underwear at Goodwill is nice
And baby you can have whatever you like (if you like)
I said you can have whatever you like (if you like) yeah, yeah

Baby, I can give you anything you please
Even share my government cheese
And baby you can have as much as you like (if you like)
I said you can have as much as you like (if you like) yeah, yeah

It's neither here nor there. One person's positive is another's negative...it all depends on your viewpoint and if stuff like that gets you riled up.

I personally love weird al's skewed songs. Everyone on earth (regardless of what opinions they hold) are capable of being stereotyped - and he does a great job at charicaturing the most noticeable aspects of any subject he deals with.

I think he pinpointed us frugal folks perfectly, and it does make for a good laugh.

It's a bit sad, though, to think that there are some people out there who will hear this song and, because they're so image concious, may choose to get themselves further in debt so "cool people" (whoever they might be) won't view them in the manner this song portrays.

I like that someone like weird AL knows about common things like top ramen and laundry mats
it makes me like him

as for the song the guy in the song is takin care of his gal, giving her food even clothing her , hes got a job
i have a bunch of cousins who would be lucky to have found a man willing to give them as much as this guy is givin his lucky lady

Not the funniest Weird Al song ever, but glad to know he's still doing his thing.

Personally, I thought it was a hoot, and shows a turn around for some folks who are making do...unfortunately not everyone subscribes to the attitude of using what they have.
