Weird Al's Lady Gaga parody Perform This Way lights up YouTube

With his head superimposed onto a lithe female's body, the clip sees Yankovic don a number of Lady Gaga's signature wacky outfits - bubble frock and meat dress included. 

'My mama told me when I was hatched/act like a superstar/Save your allowance/buy a bubble dress/and someday you will go far,' he warbles.

'I'll even be a human jelly bean, because everyday is Halloween for me,' the song continues.

Topical as ever, the now notorious Grammys 2011 egg is in there, and Al even gives the Gaga/Madonna comparisons a nod with the line: 'I'm so completely original, my new look is all the rage.'

Although there were reports earlier this year that Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta herself had stepped in to stop Al releasing his parody, she now maintains she loves the remix and the fact that she didn't approve it 'was news to herself'.

'If your eyeballs haven't been traumatised by it yet, check out my new video for Perform This Way,' Al posted on Twitter as he unleashed his latest masterpiece on the world, the proceeds from which are going to charity the Human Rights Campaign.

Comments left below the video on YouTube currently range from declarations that it's superior to anything the real Gaga has produced, to attacks on Weird Al for daring to

'This is freakiest parody they ever made on Gaga,' commented ActionRPG, while XXickieboobearXX posted: 'This is the funniest video I have seen in my whole life.'

'Oh god I'm gonna have wrong wrong wrong dreams about Weird Al now...' was another quip we particularly enjoyed, from YouTube user ewfq2.

The parody comes on the heels of 25-year-old Gaga's release of her latest official video, Edge of Glory , which features the saxophone skills of the late, great Clarence Clemons.
