The Weird Al thread

WA was on Kevin & Bean on KROQ radio this morning. He said it is sad because he always pays the artists when the parody is on an album. Now everyone is still getting the song and they get no moola. The record company wanted the artist (name anyone?) of Your Beautiful to become more of a household name on his own before being associated with the parody. He should fire their @$$es for losing him money. At least he is getting some attention for it, whatever his name is!

I am ashamed to admit that I know this, but Christina Agulara sings You're Beautiful.

Nope. It's the James Blunt song.

Nope, different song entirely. Go download the parody at Al's site - you'll recognize the tune.

I heard it on VH1 yesterday. I recognized it and I swore it was by her. Oh well. I'm happy to be wrong.

The Christina Aguilera song is just called "Beautiful". I guess the tune is kinda similar, but they're definitely different songs. (And now my Amazon browsing cookies are outta whack, thinking I actually care about Blunt and Aguilera).

See, that's what I was talking about also. I did recognize the tune when I heard the parady. So I might be old, but I'm not dead!

BTW, I'd guess you to be at LEAST 15 years younger than me
