That's so interesting-- I didn't realize that prior to the "Atlantic Records Still Sucks" t-shirt, which, as I took it, was a nod/spoof on Kurt Cobain's homemade "Corporate Magazines Still Suck" t-shirt (worn for a Rolling Stone cover shoot), Al had originally worn a simple "Atlantic Records Sucks" t-shirt. (first time I saw him do this song live was in '08)
@plarfusa yeah Al wears the Atlantic Records sucks shirt because Atlantic Records didn't want him to put the parody on his Staight outta Lynwood CD despite the fact that James Blunt gave him permission to do the parody
He's such a good vocalist... You might not always realise that when you're too busy being entertained, but his voice really shines on this song. I'm impressed.
@imsoawesomelol300 What the fuck? If you were being sarcastic there you must be one of the saddest fucks alive. "what happened at like, 1:52?" was that a joke? Well you cant put the blame on me, the was one of the worst sarcastic jokes ive ever read. Maybe you should put more effort into it. Here's what i am typing about if you still don't get it.
understandable sarcastic joke "is that a wig? xD"
here is that kind of thing you wrote "Why is he using a microphone?"
@TheThirdPrestigiator ok whatever i didnt know what happened but that doesnt mean im an idiot. im not a friggin tech geek like you where you can detect every little thing. god -.-
@TheThirdPrestigiator ive already written a long comment about cursing but i dont need to again. whatever, i didnt see how im miserable when "youre pitiful" XD
My friend Barbara and I went to go see him at the Orange County Fair in Irvine last August and this was his best show ever! Clever set. (I last saw Al in 2000 in San Bernardino, CA) I would have sworn he was also wearing pantyhose when he dropped his pants at the end of this song. Weird Al- what a class act!!! Yes indeed. Been a fan since 1984.
HAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HILARIOUS! He must have been very brave to strip down to a sponge bob tee and polka dotted underwear!!! ROFL + LTMLB!
I love Weird Al I saw him live in 2007 when he played at the Spokane County Fair. And this was one of the songs he sang. The too-too with the heart boxer shorts was a nice touch
All this video has done is compound the fact that I really need to see one of his shows. Next time he starts touring I'm looking up locations close to me ASAP.
James would start as Weird Al does on here and in the end (if I'm not mistaken) finish up naked. This is just one of those "what if..." ideas Weird Al always has and we end up loving! 8D
His t-shirt says 'Atlantic Records Sucks' coz James Blunt gave Weird Al permission, but it didn't made the album because his record company said it was too early for James career, ATLANTIC RCORDS SUCK!!!!
how the hell can you tell? so much light it just looks black and it's impossible to tell what finger it is. I don't know what finger is arrow finger since my in finnish there's peukalo etusormi keskisormi nimetön and pikkurilli
No unfotunately. Maybe in the future. Flash Cartoon Studios made a cartoon video. James Blunt gave Weird Al permission, but it didn't made the album because his record company said it was too early for James career. But he has a new album now, so when Weird Al does a new album, he should put that song on.
@lusestrem James' people just told Al (when he was doing "The Essential WAY") that they will never grant permission to use that song. Which doesn't make sense, because James Blunt's career is over now anyway. He was a one hit wonder.
@NyeTunes Actually Atlantic Records said no. James Blunt was more than happy about the parody (as per Al's tradition of getting the original artist's permission before starting work).
@NyeTunes Well, I don't know if he'll make a comeback or not, you never know. But if anything, having a Weird Al parody is a guarantee to being remembered. If I were a one hit wonder or a multi hit star, I wouldn't consider my career complete UNTIL I got my Weird Al parody!!!
