Achy Breaky Song is a song by "Weird Al" Yankovic. It is a parody of "Achy Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus. Sung to the tune of the original song, the parody details a disgruntled listener's disdain for it ("Don't play that song, that achy breaky song..."), as well as several alternatives he would rather endure, rather than having to listen to it anymore. These included a "Yoko Ono marathon" and being "tied to a chair and kicked down the stairs".
The liner notes for the album Alapalooza state that "All songwriting proceeds from Achy Breaky Song will be donated to the United Cerebral Palsy Association".
