It's not so much Al, the talentend and sucessful millionaire, as it is his fanbase.

Don't get me wrong! I am a proud member of the Al-listening, Trek-watching, DND-playing super group of "winners". I just find the first track a bit ... unironic.

The song's a parody of "You're Beautiful," by James Blunt. It's really a lot funnier if you know the lyrics to that song.

I don't think Weird Al meant the song to be taken at all seriously. After all, judging from the lyrics of some of his songs, he's a pretty big geek himself.

Cheers,

Michael

James Blunt - You're Beautiful
My life is brilliant.
My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.

She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful.
You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.

I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
Yes, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last 'till the end.

You're beautiful.
You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.

I saw your face
in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

La la la la la la la la la

You're beautiful.
You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.

There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

AL was going to be an architect, and majored in such as Cal Poly. He was a pretty good nerd before even making it into a career.

Interesting! Al released this song on the internet to cheese off a record label. It will NOT be on his new album.

Good ol AL. I'm glad he put this up for all to hear it would be a shame to have missed it.

I can't wait for the next ALbum!
