James Blunt Snubs 'Weird' Al Yankovic Cover

Weird Al Yankovic has been refused permission to release a spoof comedy version of the hit James Blunt single 'You're Beautiful'.
The outrageous comedian re-recorded the song as 'You're Pitiful' and had hoped to include it on a compilation album he has planned titled 'Essentials'. It looks like Blunt isn't a fan of the parody though - he's refused to give Yankovic the thumbs up - as Weird Al revealed on Twitter.
He told his followers: "In case you were hoping for You're Pitiful to be included on my Essentials collection, sorry, this just in from Blunt's manager: Thanks for your email, but both James and I will never approve this parody to be released on any label."
