Weird Al Yankovic, he of song parody semi-fame, is readying a two-disc greatest hits compilation, and while gathering up songs from his nearly 30 year career (!) he was notified by James Blunt's people that Al could not use "You're Pitiful" (a parody of James Blunt's "You're Beautiful") on the compilation, because James Blunt is above song parodies because his career isn't a joke (yes it is).

Al made a big deal about the snub on his Twitter, but the real news here is that Al's greatest hits album won't be blessed by the really quite terrible "You're Pitiful." [Perez Hilton]
