I actually thought that "My Cubicle" song was pretty awesome. It took the original song in a new direction, and was very relatable (plus a few lines made me laugh out loud ... something Al's version actually failed to do). I can see Blunt's preference, quite bluntly.

:lol:

I guess the humor in it for me is that I actually KNOW people like that are in the song, and I can just picture them as Al is singing! And the concert version where he strips...well... :F

A Crash Test Dummies Q&A (see question #5):

Weird Al has singled CTD out as one of the most supportive when it came to his parody of their song. What was your initial reaction when you found out he was going to do "Headline News"?

I consider being covered by Weird Al a milestone event and a real honor. And i'm very serious. I admire him, and I love his shamelessness.

I have no idea where this might best be posted, so moderators - have at it.

Greg Kihn blogged about Al on his myspace. Many thanks to my friend Linda for pointing this one out to me.

The correct place for this would be Original Artist Response. I am going to update the first post now.
