New Weird Al!

He has a blog post on the front page that explains why this song is free on YouTube, instead of being on his album.  To make a long story short, he came up with the idea, asked permission for release, and she said "record it and then I'll let you know."  He recorded it, and she said no.

I've never been a Gaga fan, and this is super lame of her.

Good can still come of this though.  Al had a parody of "You're Beautiful" called "You're Pitiful" that would have been the lead single on Straight Outta Lynwood.  James Blunt gave the ok, but Atlantic said no.  What did we get for his troubles? "White and Nerdy"!

I hope this will inspire Al and he can have another hit on the magnitude of "White and Nerdy."


UPDATE UPDATE

Lady Gaga's manager admitted he did not send the parody to Gaga.  She's now heard it and approved it.  I can't wait to see the video!


(No bad song today.  Going to a dinner after work at Imperial Fez, and I don't think composing a blog post at dinner would be polite.)
