Weird Al Yankovic’s New Album Mandatory Fun Out on July 15th

It’s been a while, three years in fact, since we last heard a collection of great song parodies from the one and only Weird Al Yankovic. Luckily, we don’t need to wonder when and if there’s another album as he has a new album coming out next month called Mandatory Fun.

There are no track listings as of yet, so it’s all speculation as to what he might be parodying, but we’re excited that the release is only a few weeks away.
