Weird Al Takes On James Blunt, Halo 2

pitif.jpg I'm sure all of you have been keeping up with Weird Al Yankovic's career, right? Right? Well, for reasons of RSS oversubscribage, GSW has, and it turns out he's released a new parody song, 'You're Pitiful', which apes James Blunt's ubiquitous 'You"re Beautiful' in, well... Al-like style!

The track (which fans think is being left off Al's upcoming album because somebody won't give permission!) starts off, after a good gag about the weird 'pre-vocal' intro : "My life is brilliant, Your life’s a joke, You’re just pathetic, You’re always broke... Your homemade Star Trek uniform really ain’t impressing me, You’re suffering from delusions of adequacy."

But wait, there's some GSW relevance here! Nearing the climax of the song, Al spits the following: "You're half-undressed, eating chips off your chest... while you're playing Halo 2, no one's classier than you." Bungie, what do you think of _that_, huh? Though the game did just reach 500 million online games played, so there are certainly plenty of pitiful, appropriately self-deprecating fans out there. Now, back to balancing the chips on our chest...

Apparently you need a version of the "album art" without "unofficial" on it, seeing as Weird Al has it up on myspace music player as well...
