"eBay" is a parody song by American musician "Weird Al" Yankovic. It is a parody of "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys. In the song, the narrator describes how he impulsively purchases unneeded (and bizarre) items on eBay (among them being "Shatner's old toupée", "a Dukes of Hazzard ashtray", and "a Kleenex used by Dr. Dre"). The song was taken from his eleventh studio album Poodle Hat.
Released in 2003, "eBay" debuted at number fifteen on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles several years later, due to the number of digital downloads it received.[2]
The song "eBay" was performed live at eBay Live! 2003. A portion of this performance can be seen at the beginning of the CNBC documentary The eBay Effect: Inside a Worldwide Obsession.[3] No official video has been produced.
