Must be third today to say, it is, an awesome parody. I almost anticipate it everytime I put the album on.

Wait, so, you almost "expect or predict" the song every time you play the album?

I agree. The song is awesome, although Al`s parody is the second parody I hear and love of this song. In fact, I now prefer Al`s version. If there is a live-action video, I hope it`s going to be an AMV wit bits of the show. Simple but effective.
Surprise is that I don`t like country music. But that sounds much different than country my parents listen to.

Yeah, sorry, I look forward to it when I put the album on. Surprises me cause I really don't like country music, but Al gives it exactly what it needs.

You Belong With Me isn't even really a country song. It's a pop song that happens to have a banjo in it...

Steel Pedal guitar, its country...listen to it. Don't know the original, if it wasn't country than Al and the guys made it sound country. It definitely sounds pretty country, am I missing something here?

No, both the original and the parody are country, though much more of a pop quality than most country. It's the reason Taylor Swift has been able to cross over into the mainstream pop world, like Shania Twain and Faith Hill before her.

Talkin` ` bout country songs, Al`s are nearly the only ones I like.

Being from Nashville, I fully agree with this. Country was already a bit pop from the late 70's/early 80's, but Shania Twain is pretty much the sole reason every female artist is the slightest pop/country these days. (Sort of like how every pop star today tries to be another Lady Gaga.)

Before Shania, women still had that slight "90's country" sound, but she strapped a pop-flavored bomb on country music, and lit the fuse. Boom.
