"The song, from Yankovic’s new album “Mandatory Fun,” is in the style of
Crosby, Stills & Nash (think “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” or “Carry On”). The
song features Yankovic harmonizing with himself on lyrics constructed of
corporate jargon, like “operationalize our strategies” and “leverage our
core competencies,” while the animated whiteboard video depicts a
live-action hand that is drawing illustrations to go with the words."

I love that Weird Al had "Mission Statement" released on the Wall Street
Journal blog.  Perfect!  Great animation, too.

Share and enjoy,
