Weird Al Yankovic seems overwhelmed with the success of "Mandatory Fun," his newest parody album that includes "Handy," "Word Crimes," "Tacky" and more, but still believes that it it isn't the most efficient way of getting music to fans according to TIME.com.

"I continue to think the same things that I thought prior to the album going to Number 1.

I still think that albums for me are not the most efficient or intelligent way for me to present my music to the public," said Yankovic to Time.

"I would prefer to get my songs out in a more timely fashion."

Yankovic also told Time that the most efficient to release his music is through singles. "Mandatory Fun," benefitted from the eight videos in eight days promotion that he did.

Each video was filled with hilarious lyrics that would cause gut-busting laughter.

"Many people have brought that up and it does irk me just a little bit because on my last album, which came out three years ago, I released 12 videos for the 12 tracks from the album all at the same time," said Yankovic to Time, addressing the fact that some are considering the move as, "Pulling a Beyonce." "I doubt that she got that idea from me, but the fact that people are saying I pulled a Beyonce, that's just not accurate."
