WoW Moviewatch: You're Pitiful

by Moo Money May 17th 2008 at 12:00PM

The weekend has finally arrived, so I decided to dig something silly out of the archives for you. This one is over a year old! "You're Pitiful" is Weird Al's take on the James Blunt song "You're Beautiful." In World of Warcraft, Drane translates the song into the subtle cries for help by a pathetic gnome.

While I normally prefer the UI off in machinima, I thought that the commentary added in the video was pretty funny. In some ways, it's too literal, but then again, Drane appears to be known for his parodies, rather than original content. This music video certainly won't win any awards, but sometimes it's good to just laugh and be goofy every now and then.

In before "only talentless hacks machinima music videos" comments :\

That was actually pretty funny. Sure, most of the laughs were from the song, but the video itself definitely had it's moments.

Hafta say, it definitely got a chuckle out of me. Simple, but funny...I like.

Needless to say the singer was not the one who made the machinima.

Aye, the song was written/performed by "Weird" Al Yankovic.

This parody is *SO* much more entertaining than the original overplayed piece of shit James Blunt put together.

BTW, behind the song:

Wierd Al went to Blunt and asked him if it was okay. James Blunt okayed the song, and loved it. His record company approved the record. Al had the gold master disc ready to go to press, and Blunt's record company pulled it's ok. Al could have gone ahead with it (his asking permission is a courtesy anyway, he doesn't need to), but he decided to forgo it, and leave it off the album. He released a high-quality MP3 on his website for free.

If you would like the song, it's available on weirdal.com (fourth or fifth hit down, with about a dozen mirrors), no charge, no DRM.
