"The web was set aflurry (well, as aflurry as it could be over a parody song) Wednesday after Weird Al Yankovic posted his parody of Lady Gaga's \"Born This Way\" (\"Perform This Way\"), noting that Gaga would not let him include it on his next album. Well, the tides have turned.\nIn a blog post Wednesday, Yankovic described his plans for the song and how he had sent it to Gaga for approval. He said, she declined to give him permission to include it on his album.\nNow, Yankovic has a new post up on his blog, which states: \n\nAfter putting my Lady Gaga parody on YouTube this morning \u2013 and announcing that it wouldn\u2019t be on my next album because Gaga didn\u2019t approve it \u2013 there was a huge outpouring of disappointment from the Internet.\nApparently the fact that she didn\u2019t approve it was news to Lady Gaga herself!\nGaga\u2019s manager has now admitted that he never forwarded my parody to Gaga \u2013 she had no idea at all. Even though we assumed that Gaga herself was the one making the decision (because, well, that\u2019s what we were TOLD), he apparently made the decision completely on his own.\n\nApparently, Gaga loves the song, which means that the parody singer can include the song on his album. He closes out the blog post by saying: \"As promised, all my proceeds from the song (and the MUSIC VIDEO\u2026 I can\u2019t wait\u2026) will go to the Human Rights Campaign.\"\nWell, that was a fast turnaround! What do you think of Yankovic's (amended plight)?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
