The meaning of the lyrics of the song "I'll Sue Ya" by the artist ""Weird Al" Yankovic"

Contents

"I'll Sue Ya" by "Weird Al" Yankovic is a satirical take on the American lawsuit culture. The song's protagonist is a caricature of a clueless and irresponsible person who files lawsuits for the most absurd reasons.

He blames everyone but himself for his misfortunes and sees lawsuits as an easy way to make money. He sues companies for his own foolish actions (like trying to dry a cat in a microwave), for everyday inconveniences (like being put on hold by customer service), and even for his own ridiculous decisions (like eating cat litter).

The humor of the song lies in the absurdity of the situations and the ridiculousness of the protagonist's arguments. Yankovic mocks the greed, irresponsibility, and litigiousness that he sees as pervasive in American society. The song is a hyperbolized reflection of reality meant to make the listener question the over-litigiousness of the modern world.

I sued Taco Bell

'Cause I ate half a million Chalupas

And I got fat!

I sued Panasonic

They never said I shouldn't use their microwave

To dry off my cat

Huh, I sued Earthlink

'Cause I called them up

N' they had the nerve to put me on hold

I sued Starbucks

'Cause I spilled a Frappucino in my lap

And brrr, it was cold!

I sued Toys'R'Us

'Cause I swallowed a Nerf ball

And nearly choked to death

Ugh, I sued PetCo

'Cause I ate a bag of kitty litter

And now I got bad breath!

I sued Coca-Cola, yo

'Cause I put my finger down in a bottle

And it got stuck!

I sued Delta Airlines

'Cause they sold me a ticket to New Jersey

I went there, and it sucked!

Yeah!!!

If you stand me up on a date

If you deliver my pizza 30 seconds late

I'm gonna sue, sue

Yes, I'm gonna sue

Sue, sue, yeah that's what I'm gonna do

I'm gonna sue, sue

Yes, I'm gonna sue

Sue, sue, yeah I might even sue you!

Ugh!!

I sued Duracell

They never told me not to shove that double-A

Right up my nose

I sued Home Depot

'Cause they sold me a hammer

Which they knew I might drop on my toes

I sued Dell Computers

'Cause I took a bath with my laptop

Now it doesn't work

I sued Fruit of the Loom

'Cause when I wear their tightie-whities on my head

I look like a jerk

I sued Verizon

'Cause I get all depressed

Any time my cell phone is roaming

I sued Colorado

'Cause you know, I think it looks a little bit too much like Wyoming

I sued Neiman Marcus

'Cause they put up their Christmas decorations

Way out of season

I sued Ben Affleck

...

Aw, do I even need a reason?

Ugh!

If I sprain my ankle

While I'm robbing your place

If I hurt my knuckles

When I punch you in the face

I'm gonna sue, sue

Yes, I'm gonna sue

Sue, sue, yeah that's what I'm gonna do

I'm gonna sue, sue

Yes, I'm gonna sue

Sue, sue, that's right I'm gonna sue you

Ugh!

Ugh!

Ugh!

I'll sue ya!

I'll take all of your money

I'll sue ya!

If you even look at me funny

I'll sue ya!

I'll take all of your money

I'll sue ya!

If you even look at me funny

I'll sue ya!

I'll take all of your money

I'll sue ya!

If you even look at me funny

I'll sue ya!

I'll take all of your money

I'll sue ya!

If you even look at me funny

I'll sue ya!

Ha-ha ha ha-haa

I'll sue ya!

What'chall think of that?

I'll sue ya!

Ha-ha ha ha-haa

Boo ya!

I'll sue ya!

Ugh!
