Weird Al Yankovic spoofs Lady Gaga

Weird Al Yankovic released his new music video ‘Perform this Way’ today. The song parodies Lady Gaga’s ‘Born this Way.’
                                                                   

Originally there was a disagreement between Yankovic and Lady Gaga’s management about whether the song would be allowed to be parodied. After seeing the lyrics of the song however he finally allowed for it. Lady Gaga was reportedly upset that the manager had denied Yankovic permission to parody the song without first asking her. She apparently loves the song.
In the video Yankovic’s head is superimposed to a female body that undergoes numerous wardrobe changes. Some of them include a bee suit, cheese suit, an outfit with her intestines wrapped around her shoulders and then set aflame and much more.
Is it just me or does Weird Al Yankovic bear a striking resemblance to Lindsay Lohan in the pics to the right? I think he could be her double. (He’s a better actor too!)
