[Machine Translation] Al Yankovic's 13th album, well known for "Eat It"! The lead song "Perform This Way" (a parody of "Born This Way") and many other great parodies continue to evolve after a quarter of a century of career, making this the definitive album of comic songs! Al Yankovic is well known in Japan for "Eat It" (a parody of "Beat It Tonight"). His 13th album, "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga, "Party In The U.S.A." by Miley Cyrus, and "You Belong" by Taylor Swift are also included on this album. The parody of Taylor Swift's "You Belong To Me" and other parody masterpieces are on parade. At one point, the lead song "Perform This Way" was not approved by the artist, and its release was in jeopardy, but after much pleading over the Internet, the artist finally gave his blessing and the song was released! This episode is also a hot topic in Japan. Polka Face," a polka medley that is a must-hear every time, seems to include "Poker Face," "Womanizer," "Day 'N' Nite," "Tik Tok," "Need You Now," and more.
