Yeah, I'm a big Weird Al Yankovic fanboy, I've seen him three times in concert. I'm also on his mailing list, "Close, Personal Friends Of Al". So, in my email, I get the message:

Dear Close, Personal Friend Of Al,
We're very sorry that the new "Weird Al" Yankovic album is taking a little longer than expected to make its way to a record store near you. We'll let you know as soon as we have a confirmed release date.
In the meantime, we thought you might like to download a free mp3 of a brand new Weird Al song (which won't be on the album). Our gift to you, just for being so darn cool.
You can download the mp3 at www.weirdal.com. Hope you enjoy it!

The Official "Weird Al" Yankovic Web Site, it says:

The song is "You're Pitiful". I'd give it a B-, personally, but it's always good to hear new stuff.
As far as I know, this is the first time he's leaked a song.
