Huh? But I said nothing about wanting to skip this topic.

I dunno. I think it's about as weird as deciding what the worst track is.

That being said, I think "Party in the CIA" is going to at least be the best unheard song on the album.

Well you could potentially use the same reasoning of pre-assumption on what we assume we would enjoy the most in the same way that we are making the observations of what we think our least favorites will be.

For example, I personally think that off hand from my title observations, I already think my least favorite track of the new tracks coming that I have yet to hear will be If That Isn't Love, just because I've never gotten more than a couple one-time laughs out of Al's love related songs.

With that in mind I already know that I can't stand Whatever You Like so I have little doubt that it will remain my least favorite parody on the album just because I can't imagine anything else being worse than that (I hated the subject matter, I hate the opening line because it just seems so forced to make everyone know what the whole song will be about, and I really don't think Al has the best vocal quality in this song either.)

However, I think my favorite Parody on the album will almost certainly be Party In the CIA just because of how catchy the original was, I really believe I'm going to listen to that one the most.

My least favorite original is probably going to continue to be Ringtone because I absolutely cannot stand that song, I skip over it every time it comes on my player, and it is the kind of song that would have been topical back when SOL came out, but by now, I really never see people incredibly preoccupied with their ringtones anymore, so it just seems like it was way to much of a stretch to be expecting it to last the test of time, let alone be recent when he had it come out. So I have little doubt I will continue to hold onto that idea.

I'm not 100 percent sure on what of the other tracks are certainly going to be originals yet, but if I had to say Another Tattoo was going to be an original, I just think that may be a real good track, just because it has some good potential in my mind already. Either way.
There you have it.


But there is nothing wrong with having this topic, at all.

Yeah, that was the... oh, never mind.

Look, I love Al, but there are many things he does that I dont like. UHF was a terrible movie, in my opinion. When I saw the title I knew what it was about, I said "Hey, thats gonna be a good movie" But when I saw it I was disappointed. Why cant I see "Party in the CIA" and say, "Hey, thats gonna be a terrible song" Its called judging a book by its cover, and it happens with everything. Music, books, people. We live in a society of glass half empty people

I loled

And in my opinion, the glass is never half empty or half full. The glass is twice as large as it needs to be. That is all.

Ehh... really? I mean, it's no oscar winner by any means, but it's a nice fun little comedy movie. I laughed. ^_^

Roger Ebert didn't record a single laugh throughout the entire movie.

That should show you how bad it is. But back on topic. What truly is the worst track?

Not really. If I recall correctly, he gave Tim Burton's Batman, widely considered one of the greatest superhero movies ever made, a thumbs down. :|

It had a few things I liked. The songs were all good, Wheel of Fish was funny, but overall I was quite bored. I loved it with the commentary track, mostly because I love hearing the story behind things.
