And the other thing is that you've had to kind of deal with over the last, I guess, 35 years, maybe, is the internet and this remixing culture.

And it's kind of a given on the internet that people, we have copyright laws, but nobody really respects it or even knows what it is.

But you were always a guy who I feel was like a model, ethical,

a collaborator, because you would seek out the artist you were parodying and ask for permission.

Yeah, yeah.

You kind of proved that you could do it by asking for permission.

Yeah, but so, I mean, that's a, do you feel that that's a lesson the world needs to know, or are you like, let the kids do what they want, and it was the good old days of the 80s, and we asked for permission before we made fun of your song, and you know.

Well, not only that, I think now people want you to parody them.

Because it's almost not, it's harder to get, like, a Weird Al parody song is harder to get than a Grammy.

right now.

It's like a true mark of... It's a real credit.

People want the Yankovic bump.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, they do.

No, they do.

And you're... Maybe you're too nice a guy to talk about this, but has anyone actually come up to you and been like, hey, can you... You know, maybe, like, someone called Dua Lipa, maybe?

Like...

Okay.

They want it.

It's a problem.
