" Whatever you like " is the song and single by "Weird Al" Yankovic, the first song of the digital EP Internet Leaks and then released on his thirteen album Alpocalypse . This is a direct parody of the song of the same name by T.I.. Like the song T.I., Yankovic's lyrics depict a man who is seducing a boyfriend with a gift he might want; However, in light of recent economic problems, this is a cheap or economical option, such as clipping coupons or going out for dinner at Burger King or McDonald's.
"Whatever You Like" is the only Yankovic parody that has the exact same title as the original parody. Yankovic commented that thanks to the quick approval of T.I. he can write, record and upload songs to iTunes within two weeks and while the original song is still in No. 1 (it was there for 5 weeks).

Release
In late 2008 Yankovic began exploring the digital distribution of his songs. On October 7, 2008, Yankovic plans to release a parody of "Whatever You Like" from artist T.I., which Yankovic said he had come with two weeks earlier. Yankovic said that the benefits of digital distribution are that "I do not have to wait while my songs are getting old and old - I can get them on the internet right away." On October 7, 2008, the planned release date, an unexpected error leaves "Whatever you like" from the new iTunes release list. Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz, drummer and webmaster of Yankovic, posted this message: "Apparently there was an error on iTunes last night and the new single Al - 'Whatever You Like' - not debuting with the rest of the new release.We are being told that they are working on the problem and ( hopefully !!) this will end today. "The song then becomes available.
In May 2009, "Whatever You Like" retroactively nicknamed the first song of Internet Leaks, an EP consisting of a series of songs distributed digitally by Yankovic.
