Cool song from Weird Al Yankovic‘s MySpace page. Go listen to it there if it’s too slow here.

Now excuse me while I go rob a liquor store while selling crack and running school kids down with a car. :P
Anyway, before you go wtf over it, it’s a joke. Weird Al is not the latest propangada machine of the RIAA. In fact if you visit his MySpace page, you’ll be able to play and download his song “You’re Pitiful”, a parody of the popular “You’re Beautiful” by James Blunt.
James Blunt gave his approval for the parody but his record label didn’t. Weird Al decides to screw the suits and release the song for free through the internet.
“I have a long-standing history of respecting artists’ wishes,” Yankovic writes. “So if James Blunt himself were objecting, I wouldn’t even offer my parody for free on my Web site. But since it’s a bunch of suits — who are actually going against their own artist’s wishes — I have absolutely no problem with it.”
And that is an artist that deserves respect.
Lol. Nice one especially the extract that you posted.
” “I have a long-standing history of respecting artists’ wishes,” Yankovic writes. ”
Good thing he learned from the whole Gangster’s Paradise fiasco.

Is there a way to download ‘You’re Pitiful’? It only lets me stream.
Thank you. Yankovic, as always, rocks the entire world with love and righteousness.
For going through with free distribution, I salute you. *salutes*
Don’t Download This Song! – Ramblings of DarkMirage is actually a pretty good website. I must say it is quite a website. I will bookmark it and come back to it again. I have one question though. Is your theme a premium one and where can I find it? Thanks!
