I think I remember hearing that James was upset with Atlantic Records when they denied permission for YP.

Al's #27 fan @ Jun 2 2007, 08:01 PM wrote: Taylor Hicks sang replaced the words, "Do I make you proud?" with "Do I creep you out?" a few times during this rehearsal.

I was wondering how long it would take a copy of Taylor singing this to get out.

Hi all,

I need help gathering information for the Hollwood star application! I need celebrity quotes about Al. I started a new topic here with more details. Please check it out.

BUMP

Has anyone heard any reaction from T.I. about Al's parody?

I'm pretty sure I remember reading somewhere that he liked it...

Brian May, Queen: There's been a few cover versions of various kinds, notably "Another One Rides the Bus" which is an extremely funny record by a bloke called Mad Al or something, in the States - it's hilarious.

That's awesome that Bri likes it.

Wasn't there a James Blunt quote where he said something like "Al's song is ok but [lame online parody] is brilliant"?

Here is what James said:

BE: Were you amused by all the press around "Weird Al" Yankovic's song, "You're Pitiful" (a parody of "You're Beautiful")?

JB: Yeah, well, y'know, I really enjoyed some of the parodies, but it's not my favorite, actually.

BE: Oh, really?

JB: Yeah. I think there've been some really cracking ones along the way. There was "My Cubicle," about a lonely office worker, and then there's another very clever one by a guy called Tom Gleason, and he's the boyfriend of the girl on the underground who has to deal with the weird stalker, James Blunt. (laughs)

BE: Did you anticipate all the press that Al's parody received when he wasn't able to release it officially?

JB: Um, well, y'know, the press will do their thing.

So, he prefers My Cubicle? Ok...

I thought My Cubicle was terrible.

Jealous much that Al's song got more press than yours

Some people have no sense of humor, that song is great! And the visuals make it awesome!
