Weird Al's recently released song entitled 'Party in the CIA' is a hilarious remake of Miley Cyrus's hit summer jam 'Party in the USA.' While 'Party in the CIA' avoids poking fun at the singer herself, it instead strings together some hilariously, side-splitting lyrics surrounding the American Secret Service.
The video for 'Party in the CIA' is equally as hilarious as the lyrics, depicting the story of a young man who has recently joined the CIA, poking large amounts of fun at its activities and behavior. As can be expected from Weird Al, the song is extremely catchy, humorous and highly entertaining.
