Internet Leaks

Internet Leaks is the second E.P. released by the American parody musician "Weird Al" Yankovic. Released digitally on August 25, 2009, its lead single is a parody of "Whatever You Like" by T.I. For Yankovic, the E.P. was an experiment in using the internet as a way to release music in an efficient and timely manner. As a result, the lead single, "Whatever You Like", references the Great Recession of 2008. The E.P. also contains style parodies of the Doors, Weezer, the White Stripes and Queen. All of the songs except for "Ringtone" had been released as separate digital singles between October 2008 and August 2009, preceding the record's release. Music videos for the four original songs were animated and subsequently released by the time the E.P. was available for download, and a music video for "Whatever You Like" was released on the deluxe edition of Yankovic's 2011 album Alpocalypse. The songs on the album were mostly met with positive critical reception, and many critics were complimentary of Yankovic's style parodies. Upon its release, Internet Leaks charted at number 8 on the Billboard Top Comedy Albums, and on December 2, 2009, the E.P. was nominated for Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album for the 52nd Grammy Awards. In 2011, all five tracks on this E.P. were re-released on Yankovic's album Alpocalypse.
