The My Cubicle parody of James Blunt's song "You're Beautiful" offers some comic relief for the many workers stuck in cubicles five days a week. A Denver Post article about the funny song explains how the Keith Hughes' song jumped from the radio to the web.
"It was just one of those kinds of things you do and forget about," Hughes says. "The general public is not really supposed to know about this stuff since it's really just for the radio stations. The next thing you know, someone gets a hold of it and it's all over the Internet.
"I don't need to be personally famous for this, but I don't want someone else taking credit for it either."
Fans familiar with Blunt's song can instantly catch the lyrical similarities and sing along with "My Cubicle," a ditty about the life of an office drone:
"My job is stupid, my day's a bore, inside this office from eight to four. Nothin' ever happens, my life is pretty bland. Pretending that I'm working, pray I don't get canned."
"My Cubicle" was just another parody Hughes' company recorded in December and made available to their affiliates on their website and in their daily prep e-mails sent out in January.
The video makes the song even funnier because it shows a guy who is clearly extremely bored in his cubicle.
