music.wikisort.org - Composition"eBay" is a song by American parody musician "Weird Al" Yankovic. It is a parody of "I Want It That Way" by Backstreet Boys. In it, the narrator describes how he impulsively purchases unneeded (and bizarre) items on eBay (among them being "Shatner's old toupee", "a Dukes of Hazzard ashtray", and "a Kleenex used by Dr. Dre"). The song was taken from his eleventh studio album Poodle Hat.
