imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but what about parody?
Poor James Blunt. We were listening to his music and recommended him to a few friends before he became popular (and before Back to Bedlam was released in the United States).
Radio stations are now refusing to give air play to some of his songs like You're Beautiful because they have been 'over-played'.
If that wasn't bad enough (he must know how Barry Manilow feels), there are now a number of parodies of You're Beautiful on the internet.
Bloody Cold (from Dead Ringers, BBC)
- Train Wreck - from Univ of California, Irvine students (College Humor) - VIDEO link
MADtv (with Nicole Parker)
- You're Gullible (this is banned in the US following legal action) - AUDIO link
- My Cubicle - AUDIO link
- You're pitiful (Wierd Al Yankovic, and endorsed by Mr Blunt) - AUDIO link

The British One has been flu-y too, and I have been doing my best to make him feel better.
I hope your human feels better soon!
Hi Keiseroo!
Poor James indeed. Hope he has a good sense of humour. And I hope that your human is feeling better too!
purrs,
