The Special Request of Mark Knopfler

Tenacious D, The Lonely Island, and Garfunkel and Oates have all achieved fame by combining music and humor in the decades since the singer’s breakout hit My Bologna.

According to fair-use laws, Yankovic is not required to obtain the original artists’ rights before creating his parodies.
