Which, again, they did license in the eventual settlement.

    A moot point, though, given how many great style parodies Weird Al has done. "Dare to be Stupid" needs to be in the game.
    Al only liscenses his music because he wants to be on the artist's good side. Because of that case, parodys do not require licensing, and fall under fair use.

    [EDIT]That said, I imagine the licensing for one of his polkas with all the songs involved really might be a dealbreaker.
    I suppose. It must be hell to license of those songs...

    ...Oh well, HMX would still do it for its adoring fans/money...

    Have to throw in my two scents. "Albuquerque" definitely has a home in Rock Band.

    I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I don’t think you realize that what you heard was not entirely what I meant.

    Bedrock Anthem (Under the Bridge/Give it Away)
    My Bologna (My Sharona)
    GT: IVIonday
    Expert Drums+Guitar
    500+ Songs (300+ DLC, RB, RB2, LRB, AC/DC)

    Wanted DLC:
    ☐ Motion City Soundtrack
    ☐ Muse
    ☐ Paramore

    EvilGamer X may have single handly brought Weird Al to Rock Band. *Starts Slow Clap*
    My three favorite bands.
    1. The Beatles
    2. The Grateful Dead
    3. The Who
    Looks like I picked the right game!
