I found that Al's version made the song enjoyable. I got so tired of the original, fast.DrDecay @ Feb 10 2008, 11:55 PM wrote: You know I think I would of liked the song more if I were a fan of James Blunt.

Aron-- Only the second accordionist to ever sit in the trunk of Torsoboy's DeLorean. Al was the first.

As did I. I think it's the insufferable amount of airplay it got when it first came out....the song was ruined. Overkill, anyone?Aron @ Feb 11 2008, 10:19 PM wrote: I found that Al's version made the song enjoyable. I got so tired of the original, fast.
Almost like the theme from Friends...I actually liked that song until the radio stations played it over and over and over and over....

No, Atlantic Records told Al that it was too early in James Blunts career for that song to be the subject of a parody. Pretty lame excuse. Al figured since it was just a bunch of suits saying no, and not James Blunt, why not offer it as a free download. Brilliant.
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:
"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11
So awesome!
