Weird Al Spoofs James Blunt
June 8, 2006

The prince of parody's latest target is the ubiquitous James Blunt single, "You're Beautiful." Download it here!


Is it Weird Al, James Blunt, or Beavis?
Weird Al, the quirky song parodist who's paraded around as everything from a New Kid on the Block to a gangsta rapper to a Jedi Knight, is back with his latest spoofy version of a chart-topping hit: James Blunt's "You're Beautiful." Al morphs Blunt's sensitive-guy appeal into visions of a Halo-playing, Star Trek-uniform-wearing, Slurpee-sipping loser. The chorus becomes a tongue-in-cheek tribute to this social reject: "You're pitiful / You're pitiful / You're pitiful it's true / Never had a date that you couldn't inflate / And you smell repulsive, too / What a bummer being you." We can't wait to see the video...will Al rip off his shirt in the rain and cliff dive?

Wow peeps already thinking this deserves a video....why make a video if its not on the album?

SPOILER It would be in 2.0 stereo, since MP3s can't play 5.1 to the best of my knowledge.


[MOD edit: Added spoiler tags. Watch the album spoilers, you're not in the spoiler forum!!

Well, Headline News wasn't on an album and that got a music video. One can hope... :9~ But who knows, maybe Al will put a "Hidden" music video in the CD.



love ALWAYs

Ok, I was confused, but now I understand.

Carry on.

Good point!

Memo to Al's Peeps:

Ripping off the shirt? Goooooooood. Cliff diving? Bad.

I was just talking to EmiOfBrie over in #dementia, and she said something about YP that I hadn't even thought about. She noted that usually when Al does "insult" comedy, he puts himself in the position of the character being insulted - WBUL, Fat, GIF....but he didn't do that with YP

I never thought of YP, or any of those songs, as insulting but I guess they are

You guys are awesome!! Thank you Al and band- another hilarious parody! You know what they say, the best things in life are free.

Well, I can see that point, but it's still not exactly a new concept for Al: "I'm So Sick of You."
