Boodles Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 So Weird Al has realised a new song on the net, "You're Pitiful" a parody of James Blunt's "You're Beautiful". There are several mirrors for the download on http://www.weirdal.com There is much speculation as to why he did this, if you read the latest entry in the "Ask AL" section you'll see this regarding the date of the next album, " APRIL 27, 2006 Tracy A. of Hudson, Florida asks: Okay, Al. So what DID that huge "27" that flashed on the screen April 7th really mean? Everyone wants to know. Come on, spill your guts! Oh, okay. Well, if you must know, the big “27” that appeared briefly on this web site was the beginning of a teaser campaign to announce that the new album was coming out on June 27. I’m very sorry to say that the album is not coming out on June 27 anymore, due to something which threw a major monkey wrench into our release plans. (Don’t worry, it’s just silly record company politics. Maybe I’ll tell you the story someday.) Anyway, we’re obviously trying to resolve the issue, and hoping to get the album out as soon as humanly possible. I’m bound and determined to get it out… well, sometime this year, for sure. I really think it’s a great album (although I may be just a little biased) and I sure hope everybody will think it’s been worth the wait. " So yeah some people are saying that the record company didn't want this song on the album or something like that so Al just threw it on his site for free, others say that it's unrealated to the delay... more of a promotional thing. No official explanation has been given just what was said in the email from weirdal.com, " 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! " So anyway I think it's an awesome song. Thoughts?

Andrew Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I remember him being on TV once down here and somebody mentioned he was Australian. Guess I was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectorSatyr Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Wierd Al was cool when I was 13. Now, I rarely hear or see him anymore. He's like Gary Coleman now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eraysor Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I have a ton of Weird Al songs here, although there are only a couple I like. Mostly Jerry Springer and Can't Watch This, which involuntarily makes me dance wherever I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoE Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 wierd al is alright IMO! i like this song too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ila Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 The first like 20 seconds of the song are okay and then well it just gets dull. I think the reason for it not being on CD is because it just isn't that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zal Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Only one of his songs ever made me laugh. And it was about an Atom Bomb killing people.... ...shut up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
