I just loved actually getting an email addressing me as a Close Personal Fan of Al.
The song is great. I love the beginning when he comes in too early.

It's official. The song won't be on the new cd, according to the mailing list.
Ah well, glad they put it out there for download.

Just got the email and downloaded the song.
That stupid James Blunt song is annoyingly catchy and Al's version is SO much better.
Unfortunately, I relate to a few of the insults in it. I guess I'm pitiful.

Wow, I didn't get an email from weirdal.com. Maybe I'm too pitiful.
At least we know now what's up with the song. Just think, if a great song like that isn't going to be on the cd, just think how great the songs that
will be on it wil be!

I'm one of those completely crazy people that actually likes to buy the real versions of songs I like that I've downloaded.
I hope that I can still own this song on a CD at some point. A B-side to a single perhaps?

I think you'll have to settle for a downloaded version, joshee. Besides, it was an authorized download, so it's ok!

Maybe the email was accidentally deleted, Patti.
Here's what it says;
Dear Close, Personal Friend Of Al,
We're very sorry that the new "Weird Al" Yankovic album is taking a little longer than expected to make its way to a record store near you. We'll let you know as soon as we have a confirmed release date.
In the meantime, we thought you might like to download a free mp3 of a brand new Weird Al song (which won't be on the album). Our gift to you, just for being so darn cool.
You can download the mp3 at www.weirdal.com. Hope you enjoy it!

You mean by me? hehe, not possible. I have WAY too many emails in my inbox, which is in desperate need of cleaning. Thanks for posting that, though.

Volcano doesn't release commercial singles, so that's not an option.

I praise Al for an actual apology.
He has to fend off the lawyers now.
Seemingly, "I'm sorry" means "I'm guilty".
I don't buy that ideology.
BTW, I'm getting site quota warnings.
I'm sorry, I'll have to intermittantly lurk now.
