Advantages: A great album, lots of songs, all funny, moneys worth Disadvantages: Can be boring if listened to lots.
What an album. Not only is Peter a fantastic comedian but he's also a great singer. All the songs are taken from the series of 'Phoenix Nights' and 'Max & Paddy'. His singing is very often cabaret but this is intentional. He has not done this to make a career in the singing industry. It’s sung to be funny and this is the only aim. There are some great classics on here. The always recognizable 'Way To Amarillo' features. A song that has become a legend ...
Advantages: Humouress without offense Disadvantages: Lyrics aren't really well thought, what ever rhymes, stick it in!
...meant to be. Off the deep end starts with the Nirvana theme, the all too famous 'smells likes teen spirit' with it's new title 'smells like Nirvana' It doesn't even matter that the lyrics aren't really that wonderful, and obviously no deep thought has been taken to write them but it still sounds great! With 'Hello, hello, hello, heeelllooo' translating to 'Don't know, don't know, don't know, dooon't knoow' We see a slight sense of 'taking the mick' ... ...we don't sound like Madonna' and Buy our album, we're Nirvana' but no one cares! Weird Al just has this touch which would allow him to take the mick out of the most meaningful song ever but we still wouldn't mind! We even like the way he just adds stupid words just to rhyme! 'A garage band from Seattle. Well, it sure beats raising cattle'
All the other songs are just as great! I'm sure there's a song that will tickle your fancy
You just gotta love ...

Advantages: Great comedy, fabulous pianist, Disadvantages: Recording quality...
Victor Borge is one of the original musical comics from yester year, who remains (unfortunately) quite unknown by the younger population of the country. This CD is a recording from a performance Victor Borge participated in many years ago. Consequently, the quality is not the most fabulous in the world - it is an atmospheric recording. This is not a disadvantage however, in my opinion, as it enables the listener to hear not only Victor and the piano ... ...laughter, which I feel adds significantly to the cd! You can also pick out certain words from the audience, which is significant in a couple of tracks - for example "Variations on a theme", where the audience call out composer names.
This cd would suit a few types of people. Those who love "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue" and enjoy the musical rounds such as Just a Minum and One Song To The Tune Of Another will appreciate both the type of comedy Victor ...
Advantages: Every song is different! Disadvantages: Some songs are much longer than others.
...got a picture of Al running around a track with these giant scissors. These songs really add to my collection of songs on my computer, and of the nearly 5000 songs I have on there, these have got to be one of my favorites. I would definitely recommend this CD to fans of Weird Al's music. ...
