It is just hilarious. I have it saved to my hard drive, but don't know how to post a link here. If anyone knows how let me know, otherwise you can probably download it from the web - well worth the listen.

you'll have to give us a clue as to where it is, I looked for it on Google and couldnt' find anything but the lyrics.

[*url]www.whereeveritis.com[*/url]

that makes it clickable if you take out the stars and put the link in the middle instead of whereeveritis.com.

I downloaded it from Kaaza, but I can post it here if someone knows how to post an audio link (and I guess I would have to save it somewhere on the web first). Oh, I could put it on my website for now - no one is looking at that yet

Here's a link that someone else posted, but I couldn't get it to work (must not have the right hardware). Maybe it will work for someone else http://manuals2go.com/stuff/weird_al's_ebay.mp3

I've done it on an auction but I can't remember how I did it except I used that code. I recorded it on my computer..

hang on I'll see if I can do it again, I'll go to Kazaa........

eBay
by Al Yankovic

Lyrics:

Yeah
A used ... pink bathrobe
A rare ... mint snowglobe
A Smurf ... TV tray
I bought on eBay

My house ... is filled with this crap
Shows up in bubble wrap
Most every day
What I bought on eBay

Tell me why (I need another pet rock)
Tell me why (I got that Alf alarm clock)
Tell me why (I bid on Shatner's old toupee)
They had it on eBay

I'll buy ... your knick-knack
Just check ... my feedback
"A++!" they all say
They love me on eBay

Gonna buy (a slightly-damaged golf bag)
Gonna buy (some Beanie Babies, new with tag)
(From some guy) I've never met in Norway
Found him on eBay

I am the type who is liable to snipe you
With two seconds left to go, whoa
Got Paypal or Visa, what erev'll please
As long as I've got the dough

I'll buy ... your tchotchkes
Sell me ... your watch, please
I'll buy (I'll buy, I'll buy, I'll buy ...)
I'm highest bidder now

(Junk keeps arriving in the mail)
(From that worldwide garage sale) (Dukes Of Hazard ashtray)
(Hey! A Dukes Of Hazard ashtray)
Oh yeah ... (I bought it on eBay)

Wanna buy (a PacMan Fever lunchbox)
Wanna buy (a case on vintage tube socks)
Wanna buy (a Kleenex used by Dr. Dre, Dr. Dre)
(Found it on eBay)

Wanna buy (that Farrah Fawcet poster)
(Pez dispensers and a toaster)
(Don't know why ... the kind of stuff you'd throw away)
(I'll buy on eBay)

What I bought on eBay-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y



eBay is the eleventh (11th) song on the "Poodle Hat" album. It is a parody of "I Want It That Way" by The Backstreet Boys with original lyrics by "Weird Al" Yankovic

ack! I have to host it on my web page on my server and it won't let me in. The link worked for me too so all is well I guess.

Great! I won't worry about it then. Maybe I just need an updated Windows Media Player.

I've GOT to get DSL. It took 20 min to download. It was worth the wait--Hilarious! Thanks Ihula.

There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

Thanks for the link! I get unavailable now too - I think whoever was hosting it before took it off.

I added it to my "About Me" page. I'll leave it there for a week or so.
