Link

He come to town

Come to save

The princess Zelda

Ganon took her away, now the children don't play

But they will, when Link saves the day

HALLELUJAH

Now Link

Fill up your hearts

So you can shoot

Your sword with power

And when you're feeling all down, the fairy will come around

So you'll be brave, and not a sissy coward

Now Link

Has saved the day

Put Ganon is his grave

So now Zelda is free, and now a hero shall be

Link

I think your name shall go down into history!

    Yeah, the old Napster/Limewire days were rife with people labeling any kind of parody or meme song as being written by Weird Al or SoaD. Probably because they had the name recognition and would actually show up in search results. And it was just plausible enough that they might make a song like this.

    Weird Al even went on the record to say that he absolutely hated the trend. Because a lot of the parody songs that were misattributed to him were very vulgar, and he historically avoided things like excess profanity so his music would be safe for kids.

    Also, I’m amazed OCRemix is still around. Pretty sure half of the music on my original iPod Shuffle came from that site.

    I tend to call that section of history the Contextless Era.

    A lot of folks got their music from P2P software, and a lot of stuff got mislabeled. There's a lot of people who to this day think Metallica recorded a heavy metal version of Carol of the Bell (Metallica has nothing to do with the Trans Siberian Orchestra), or that The End Of The World was made by Group X. ANY prank phone call recording was attributed to the Jerky Boys, ANY male stand-up comedian but especially Bill Engval was atribbuted to Jeff Foxworthy, and ANY comedy music especially parodies were attributed to Weird Al.

    Except for a recording of the Hyrule Overture with invented lyrics. That got attributed to System of a Down, entirely because of a resemblance to the lead singer's voice.

    And that's just what Limewire did to us. It's been said that the modern internet is just 5 websites full of screenshots of the other 4. Yeah, Newgrounds, Ebaumsworld, YTMND, to an extent the Something Awful Forums and a few others constantly outright stole each other's content. Just...re-uploaded the flash animations.
