How Can You Go Wrong Offering Wife, “Whatever You Like”?
Silly Serenade
One of my favorite artists is Weird Al Yankovic. I own all of his albums, have been to many concerts, and have been a member of his fan club since the early 90s. He has so many songs that I like, but his recent single really strikes a chord with me, in terms of how I feel about my wife. It’s called Whatever You Like, and is a parody of T.I.’s #1 hit (also entitled Whatever You Like).
There isn’t a video yet, but here’s the audio:
My sister and her husband heard the song and said they could imagine me singing this to my wife. Here are a few of the lines that could be applied to our marriage:
- And we can clip coupons all night
- Take you out for dinner, anywhere that you please, Like Burger King or Mickey Ds. I said you can even have the large fry
- At Wal-mart she can pick out anything she want
- Do you think you could chip in for gas?
- Mac and Cheese would be all right
- It’s all about the Washingtons, that’s right
- Thrift store jeans on sale half-price
While I have never been one to serenade my wife, this may be a good time for me to start. I think she’ll really like it. In fact, I should probably start working on a playlist for her of Weird Al’s most romantic songs… How can I go wrong?

Weird Al’s such a sweetheart… he sets out to write a funny song about the economy tanking, and winds up writing a funny song about the economy tanking that’s also a touching little life-as-it’s-really-lived love song. Go Al!

Any romantic Weird Al compilation must include, “You Don’t Love Me Anymore.” The woman in that song is very thoughtful!

I’m glad there are hard core fans like me. ‘Melanie’ is another classic love song by Al

Dad once called me a cheap date because I was too puny to eat more than a .99 cent cheeseburger. I don’t know if Ryan would agree that I am a cheap date now…
