"Whatever You Like" is a song and single by "Weird Al" Yankovic, the first song from the digital EP Internet Leaks and was later released on his thirteenth studio album Alpocalypse. It is a direct parody of the song of the same name by T.I. As with T.I.'s song, Yankovic's lyrics describe a man wooing a girlfriend with gifts that she may want; however, in light of economic problems in the United States at the time, these are inexpensive or economical options, such as clipping coupons or going out to dinner at Burger King or McDonald's.

"Whatever You Like" is the only Yankovic parody to have exactly the same title as the original it parodies. Yankovic commented that thanks to a rapid approval from T.I. he was able to write, record and upload the song to iTunes within two weeks and while the original song was still at No. 1 (it was there for 5 weeks).
