The familiar beats of Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” will once again be blasting over the airwaves, but this time Em won’t be the one rapping. Weird Al Yankovic has parodied the song, calling it “Couch Potato,” and will use is as the first single off his upcoming album.

Eminem allowed Weird Al to do the parody but not a video for the single, according to MTV.

On the album, “Poodle Hat,” Al also includes a parody of Eminem’s “The Real Slim Shady” in an accordion medley that also features: Papa Roach’s “Last Resort,” System of a Down’s “Chop Suey!,” the Vines’ “Get Free,” the Hives’ “Hate to Say I Told You So,” the White Stripes’ “Fell in Love With a Girl,” the Strokes’ “Last Nite,” Disturbed’s “Down With the Sickness,” Rage Against the Machine’s “Renegades of Funk,” Limp Bizkit’s “My Way,” Staind’s “Outside,” Kid Rock’s “Bawitdaba,” and P.O.D.’s “Youth of the Nation.”

The album, due out May 20, also includes parodies of Avril Lavigne’s “Complicated” (”A Complicated Song”), Nelly’s “Hot in Herre” (”Trash Day”), the Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way” (”E-Bay”) and Billy Joel’s “Piano Man” (”Ode to a Superhero”), according to MTV.
