Biografía:
Alfred Matthew Yankovic (Downey, EE.UU., 23-10-1959) es el músico, compositor y comediante norteamericano que se ha destacado, principalmente, por sus logradas parodias hacia distintos hits del cancionero del rock and roll mundial y sus intérpretes (por caso Smells like nirvana).
Acordionista, tecladista y vocalista, Wired Al se volcó al escenario artístico tras advertir que "lo suyo" no tenía nada que ver con el título de arquitecto que había obtenido por la Universidad Politécnica estatal de California San Luis Obispo.

[Intro]
C E7 Am Fadd9
Everybody shut up! (woo!)
Everyone listen up!
C
Hey, hey, hey
E7
Hey, hey, hey
Am Fadd9
Hey, hey, hey
[Verse 1]
C
If you can't write
E7
In the proper way
Am
If you don't know
Fadd9
How to conjugate
C
Maybe you flunked that class
E7
And maybe now you find
Am Fadd9
That people mock you online
(Everybody wise up!)
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C
Okay, now here's the deal
E7
I'll try to educate ya
Am
Gonna familiarize
Fadd9
You with the nomenclature
C
You'll learn the definitions
E7
Of nouns and prepositions
Am
Literacy's your mission
Fadd9
And that's why I think it's a
[Chorus]
C
Good time
E7
To learn some grammar
Am
Now, did I stammer
Fadd9
Work on that grammar
C
You should know when
E7
It's "less" or it's "fewer"
Am
Like people who were
Fadd9
Never raised in a sewer
C
I hate these word crimes
E7
Like "I could care less" (Hey, Hey, Hey!)
Am
That means you DO care
Fadd9
At least a little
C
Don't be a moron
Am
You'd better slow down
E7
And use the right pronoun
Fadd9
Show the world you're no clown
[Verse 2]
C
Say you've got an "it"
E7
Followed by apostrophe "s"
Am
Now, what does that mean?
Fadd9
You would not use "it’s" in this case
C
As a possessive (no, no, no!)
E7
It's a contraction (yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Am
What's a contraction?
Fadd9
Well, it's the shortening of a word or a group of words
By omission of a sound or letter
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C
Okay, now here are some notes
E7
Syntax you’re always mangling
Am
No X in "espresso"
Fadd9
Your participle's danglin'
C
But I don't want your drama
E7
If you really wanna
Am Fadd9
Leave out that Oxford comma
[Chorus]
C
Just keep in mind that "be", "see", "are", "you"
E7
Are words, not letters
Am
Get it together
Fadd9
Use your spell checker
C
You should never
E7
Write words using numbers
Am
Unless you're seven
Fadd9
Or your name is Prince
C
I hate these word crimes (I hate them crimes)
E7
You really need a (I hate them crimes)
Am
Full-time proofreader (I mean those crimes)
Fadd9
You dumb mouthbreather
C
Well, you should hire
E7
Some cunning linguist
Am
To help you distinguish
Fadd9
What is proper English
[Bridge]
C
One thing I ask of you
E7
Time to learn your homophones is past due
Am
Learn to diagram a sentence, too
Fadd9
Always say "to whom", don't ever say "to who"
C
And listen up when I tell you this
E7
I hope you never use quotation marks for emphasis
Am
You finished second grade, I hope you can tell
Fadd9
If you're doing good or doing well
C
You'd better figure out the difference
E7
Irony is not coincidence
Am
And I thought that you'd gotten it through your skull
Fadd9
About what's figurative and what's literal
C
Oh, but just now, you said
E7
You "literally couldn't get out of bed"
Am
That really makes me want to literally
Fadd9
Smack a crowbar upside your stupid head
[Chorus]
C
I read your e-mail
E7
It's quite apparent
Am
Your grammar's errant
Fadd9
You're incoherent
C
Saw your blog post
E7
It's really fantastic
Am
That was sarcastic (Oh, psych!)
Fadd9
’Cause you write like a spastic
C
I hate these word crimes
E7
Your prose is dopey
Am
Think you should only
Fadd9
Write in emoji
C
Oh, you're a lost cause
E7
Go back to pre-school
Am
Get out of the gene pool
Fadd9
Try your best to not drool
[Outro]
C E7
Never mind, I give up
Am Fadd9
Really now, I give up
C
Hey, hey, hey
Am
Hey, hey, hey
E7
Go away!
Fadd9
