# 'parently
cos Blunt is a tool he wouldn't allow Weird Al to use his song - so it had to be withdrawn.
or something
or thats what I heard

# doghorse had a similar problem
it's not blunt, but the publishers, as blunt didn't actually write it himself, and doesn't hold the copyright
also 'parody' as a legitimate way to use the same tune, doesn't exist in the uk, in the same way as it does in the states, so it can be banned more effectively here

# I heard
Blunt wanted to show he had a sense of humour, and wanted Al to cover it, but his execs said "err, no that's probably a bad idea" and had it pulled
