Background
Poodle Hat is the eleventh studio album by the American parody musician "Weird Al" Yankovic, released on May 20, 2003. It was the fifth studio album self-produced by Yankovic. Its musical styles are built around parodies and pastiches of pop of the early 2000s. The album's lead single, "Couch Potato", a parody of "Lose Yourself" by Eminem, failed to chart. Four years later, the album's song "eBay", a parody of "I Want It That Way" by Backstreet Boys, reached 15 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles.
