Sequence of events:
1) Weird Al writes song.
2) Weird Al claims Gaga declines
3) Weird Al releases song free on internet
4) Gaga blames management, and magically overrites their descision she was too busy building a super artistic fancy hat to even know happened.
Lets face it, I doubt that her management is stupid enough to take in a parody from basically the biggest parody artist in the world, and not even inform her of it. So easy for her to claim "oh, I didn't hear it until you released it for free" as to not look bad in the public light.
Frankly, Weird Al ****ing played her here. Very clearly he released it online because he knew that it'd be bad for her image to decline somebody like him doing a parody of one of her songs. Since she's supposedly quirky, fun loving, and rebellious.
Now, he has the playing field to make the song, and video he wants to. Weird Al is a lot of things, but stupid isn't one of them. I guarantee you if he didn't release it for free, we'd have never heard it.
