It should also be noted that this is the FIRST time Weird Al has actually critiqued (however mildly in this case) the artist whose song he parodies.
One Nirvana song parody referenced the generic grunge scene the band was part of, but this is the only time anything remotely this specific has been contained in the lyrics. It's probably why I like this spoof more than most of his other stuff ... but it's also why this might have had more of a sting with Lady Gaga than with any previous artist parodied by Weird Al.
