Advantages: funny, entertaining Disadvantages: may offend some people
...those novelty albums, you know the ones where you hear the tune correctly but the words have been replaced Weird Al Yankovic is a popular name in the world of parodies. Until 5 years ago I was not a fan of these songs, in fact I had never heard them. I think the first song I heard was 'Which Backstreet Boy is Gay' which had me in fits of laughter. I was in a mate's car one night, he was evidently into this type of music and was listening to a rather ... ...young age and was into the parodies of Allan Sherman. Anyway Weird Al Yankovic has grown up today to be one of those artists you either love - or hate. Personally I have quite a liking towards his music they never fail to make me giggle so are perfect for that rainy, depressing day where you need a slight chuckle. *****OTHER SONGS*****

Advantages: 5 very good tracks Disadvantages: A few duds in between the good tracks.
Rolf's 1969 release of "Two Little Boys" which is a song about the American Cicil War and written in 1902 is simply brilliant and alone justifies the whole purchase price of this 18 track CD. It is a difficult track to get hold of on other Rolf Harris CDs and quite rare to find on general 1960s compilation CDs. It was only recently that Rolf discovered a real personal poignancy to the song because the story bears such a resemblance to the WWI experiences ... ...who died at the age of 19 after being wounded in battle in France in 1918. "If I Were A Rich Man" is an excellent version of the famous song from the Film/Play Fiddler On The Roof. "Waltzing Matilda", "Jake The Peg" and "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport" are also nice tracks to have in your music collection. This is a desirable CD to have in my opinion and one that you will play and will defintely want to rip at least 2 or 3 tracks to other music media ...
Advantages: makes you laugh out loud Disadvantages: takes a while to get into some songs
weird al yankovic creates the funniest songs and tunes ever in my opinion. he turns the lyrics in a song to make them extremely funny and it certainly works. e.g "i want it that way"- by the backstreet boys - turns into "which backstreet boy is gay". when i first listened to one of his songs "amish paradise" ("gangsters paradise") it reduced me to tears. dont get me wrong there was a couple of songs that were quite boring or took a while to get into ...

He drip feeds his marrow, described as a monstrous jade zebra veg, the reason for this being "should some rascal half-inch and eat it, it'll give him the liquorice for weeks" very quickly we are faced with the full pomposity of Sir Henry's character and in here there is definitely shades of Churchill being saterised, quite viciously. ... ...one who could live with Sir Henry would have to have both these qualities. Sir Henries attitude to the staff is shockingly bad they are there to satisfy his needs and nothing else his request to the housekeeper Mrs E "I don't know what I want, but I want it now" shows this quite clearly, as is his repost to Old Scrotum "You are supposed to love me, You vile Jelly" before hitting him over the head with a gun reinforces this.
