he is certainly weird...

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 ...

Review of Bad Hair Day - Weird Al Yankovic

"Bought it on Ebay"

Advantages: It makes you laugh
Disadvantages: Erm... it makes you laugh

...cure for SLOM. Weird Al. Poodle Hat, which incidentally is one of his latest CD's, promises the buyer both laughter, mirth and satisfaction. It completes this far too well. For those of you who don't know of Weird Al, I will fill you in briefly. He is an unbelievabely talented music artist, who is often dubbed "The King Of Parody", as most of his memorable songs are parodies of famous songs that just need the Micky taking out of them. He does however, ...
...all of which are just as hillarious as his parodies. On this CD's his parodies include songs such as "I want it that way" - backstreet boys, and "Lose yourself" - Eminem. Half of the songs are entirely of his own creation, and range from him singing about hardware stores, to parties with lepors. As well as his parodies and own genius creations, you get "The Angry White Boy Polka" - and trust me when I say this. To understand quite what it is, and ...

Review of Poodle Hat - Weird Al Yankovic

Smells Like Nirvana?

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 ...

Review of Off At The Deep End - Weird Al Yankovic

The funnest songs to listen to

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. ...

Review of Running With Scissors - Weird' Al Yankovic

How much more black could this be? and the answer is none.

Advantages: You can turn this one all the way up to 11.
Disadvantages: Unfortunately this is not a real band.

...British heavy metal band released this collection of songs from the albums soundtrack as homage to the “Smell the Glove” album that they were promoting through the film. Due to the album being released as a soundtrack it never really received any great success chart wise and was mainly just purchased by those who, like me are great fans of the film. Now firstly let me start by saying that if you haven’t seen the film that accompanies this album it ...
...at least after you’ve read this anyway.) Like I’ve said the band themselves are completely factious everything from who they are to their previous career which was made up only for the purpose of the film. Just who are “Tap”? The main members of the band consist of some quite well known American actors, that’s right I did just type American as once you hear them talking in the film or singing on this album you would swear they where English. ...
