    I know this is old news, but it's new news to me!

    Weird Al did a parody of "You're Beautiful" that I think is hilarious. You can download it for free from his site:

    A little history of this song and why is isn't showing up on his new album:

    Yeah, it's a bit old news. The song is hilarious though. Al is one of the VERY rare parody musicians that actually has his songs hit mainstream "at times". Private Local Radio Stations used to play his music all the time in the 80's and a little into the 90's. When all the stations started going network run, the networks shut out a lot of ability to play these songs. Reason is because of the Record Label money involved. Parody songs have come under fire by the RIAA lately too, but has well been protected for a long time. They've tried revising the laws a couple of times recently. RIAA is at a point of nearly being the anti-christ.
