Good old Al

That's right Al Yankovic has done a lot in the past 30 years. His parodies range from Snoop Dogg, to Justin Timberlake, to Nirvana, and he could not forget about ebay, there is one for them too. For those who do not know who Yankovic is, he makes parodies of almost all the new songs that come out. These parodies are hilarious, and he actually makes compelation CD's with all kinds of artists featured on them. On VH1, there was a show that featured a clip from Nirvana, it was nearly 10 years old. When Nirvana's song Smells Like Teen Spirit, came out, Al made a parody. At first, Nirvana was upset about this because they thought that it was going to make the sales of their CD go down. But instead it did the opposite, there were more people buying the CD than ever before. As Al continues to do parodies, he continues to make capture the comedy of each song. He has also been very big on the internet lately. He has his own myspace which features his videos and songs. He is really trying all kinds of ways to reach his target audience. Most of his listeners are probably range from ages 13 to 19. So, what better way than to reach them on myspace.
