Did she cover it?

Why do I care?

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 .....

47, so I was real close! Yes, I was alive in the 50's, and I don't remember much of the 60's.

And I feel Disneyland has kept me young.

Ok, so it's an excuse to act like a kid. But what the heck....

So I grew up with Led Zepplin, Queen, AC/DC, Heart, Cat Stevens, and of course The Beatles.

I grew up with Zep, Cat Stevens, and of course The Beatles.

Cool! I thought 'ol "Monk" Cat was long forgotten! The difference is that I purchased his albums as they were released.

Of course Zep and the Fab Four have, while still main stream, moved over to "classic" now. And my mom use to go to the Beatles concerts (you know, those screaming teen girls!), and played the albums relentlously.

But, I think we got off track of Al.......

His new album came out yesterday, and includes:

White & Nerdy
Pancreas
Canadian Idiot
I'll Sue Ya
Polkarama!
Virus Alert
Confessions Part III
Weasel Stomping Day
Close But No Cigar
Do I Creep You Out
Trapped In The Drive-Thru
Don't Download This Song

DualDisc includes PCM Stereo, 5.1 Surround and instrumental mixes of the entire album
