Go download it. It's free. Grab it here, and from like 11 other places. I'm too lazy to list them all, but if you really want you can check http://weirdal.com/

I hereby nominate it as the official Nerd Anthem. (Note: "nerd," not "geek." Yes, there's a difference...)

Those who will remember, will speak fondly of the warm morning breeze.

They officially announced it as being free? Eh... Free publicity for them then

*wants more people to buy weird al's albums*

Empty sig is empty.

Well, not officially, unless "on Al's official site" means "officially"...

...oh, wait. Yeah, it was officially announced as being free.

Interesting.

QUOTE

According to Yankovic, Blunt himself gave his blessing to a song called "You're Pitiful", which was to appear on Yankovic's now-finished but as-yet-unreleased new album. But after Yankovic finished recording the parody, Atlantic Records, Blunt's label, told Yankovic that he couldn't release "You're Pitiful." Though Yankovic has encountered resistance from artists before ... he says this is the first time a label has stepped in to squash the release of one of his parodies.

QUOTE

"I have a long-standing history of respecting artists' wishes," Yankovic writes. "So if James Blunt himself were objecting, I wouldn't even offer my parody for free on my Web site. But since it's a bunch of suits -- who are actually going against their own artist's wishes -- I have absolutely no problem with it."
