Sometimes you find yourself crawling out of bed in the morning, pouring yourself a cup of ambition, and think to yourself “I wonder if I could plaster a billboard on my garage door for cold hard cash?”

Canadian news site “The Globe and Mail” asks Weird Al about his serious thoughts about cities possibly selling naming rights to public properties.

Nickelodeon is releasing the Yo Gabba Gabba episode that Weird Al starred in, Circus, on DVD on June 14th, 2011. It will also contain three other episodes that… aw who cares? This one’s got Al in it! That’s all you really need to know.

iTunes
Amazon

We know you’ve probably been reloading the YouTube version over and over and over again, or maybe you got desperate and held a tape recorder to your speakers.  Wait, did I say tape recorder?!? Uh, I meant umm, what do you kids today use? An ePad.  Yeah that’s it.  I taped it with an ePad.  No, of course I still don’t use a 27 year old cassette deck for listening to the latest music like The Vapors.  What?  Oh…  *hangs head in shame*.
