You're Pitiful[edit]

I reverted the addition of the lyrics of the song because they violate copyrights. -- Rjm656s 15:16, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Political Reasons[edit]

What exactly do they mean by "political reasons"? -- Thoraxcorp 21:46, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Internal politics: Blunt doesn't want to anger his own record company, and Yankovic's record company doesn't want to anger Blunt's record company. — Mike 02:00, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

genre?[edit]

The official .mp3 from weirdal.com has an ID3 tag that denotes the song's genre as a "Power ballad". This was switched to "comedy", which is more appropos to what the song really is. I'm just wondering if there's an SOP for that, whether reality or intent should override? — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 22:49, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Permission[edit]

I changed the sentence about obtaining the artists' permission "With the exception of a miscommunication over Amish Paradise....etc" to a clearer sentence about the mix-up with Coolio. Any rewording, suggestions, *cough flames directed at me cough* are welcome. BloodLinedBandLead 00:36, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My Cubicle?[edit]

A few months ago another "You're Beautiful" parody was making the rounds in Jakarta, Indonesia's airwaves, obviously after making some international rounds, whose title was "My Cubicle." This wikipedia article obviously confirms that its not a Weird Al song, but a quick Google song revealed that it was performed by one Jym Britton and written by the person/group/anonymous entity known as Morning Sidekick.

Details at this here blog post, while Morning Sidekick's website is at morningsidekick.com. I'm not quite sure how I would go about posting this info in this article (or for that matter wether I should), even though it is another parody of Mr. Blunt's song. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lemi4 (talk • contribs)

I don't really think it should be added, but thanks for pointing it out. Wikibout-Talk to me! 23:00, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Label[edit]

Nobody knew the label Al's on? It's Volcano. I'll put that in now, thanks. DarkTurtle 06:06, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but the song wasn't released by Volcano. As the article says, Al released the song himself. I don't think we should list the label if they didn't have anything to do with this song's release. --Maxamegalon2000 06:12, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Single?[edit]

Isn't this song a downloadable single? If it is, then a whole bunch of templates have to be changed. —Coastergeekperson 04^{'s talk}@Feb/03/08 20:55

How so? — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 23:05, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How so what? It is downloadable as a single. You mean templates changed? Well, the single list at the template navbox, the single preceding and succeeding it, and the infobox itself. But is it a single or not? If it is, let's get working! —Coastergeekperson 04^{'s talk}@Feb/05/08 02:37

Most sites, inclusing Yankovic's own, don't mention it as a single. I think that it was just a free song released exclusively on his website. Kinda like NIN's Echoplex song.--65.68.97.195 (talk) 20:54, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

link[edit]

the external link links back to weird al's wiki page, not his site can someone fix that?Noman679 (talk) 15:38, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

James blunt had a hit?[edit]

"might lead to the perception of James as a 'one-hit wonder'" Um, James has been hitting something but was it really the charts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.72.131.205 (talk) 07:50, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if that was meant as a joke, or if you're just confused; "You're Beautiful" was a number one single in many countries. Zeldafanjtl (talk) 23:58, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fiestar song[edit]

There's another song called You're Pitiful by the K-Pop group Fiestar, released on March 4, 2015, as part of Black Label (EP). Either this article should be relabelled as You're Pitiful (Wierd Al Yankovich song), or there should be a redirect at the start of this article to Black Label (EP).
