It has been 4 years since James Blunt released You’re Beautiful (or had a hit) and that is still not stopping him from letting Weird Al Yankovic release his brilliant parody of the song, You’re Pitiful. Weird Al just Tweeted that Blunt and his manager won’t let him add his version of the song to his upcoming Essentials album. Seriously I don’t get what their problem is with the song and Weird Al? Michael Jackson and Nirvana were OK with him giving their songs his special twist, I don’t get why James Blunt thinks he bigger than them? Seriously his manager needs to get over it already and let that Weird Al add it to his Essentials, something Blunt will not be releasing because you need to have more than one song to fill a greatest hits album.
Since I guess we won’t be able to hear the song on his album, we can still see him to do live and let’s just say what he does for a performance of the song is bloody brilliant!
BTW after re-listening to You’re Pitful, I now think of it as an ode to James Blunt!
