This album is one of the best! There are no bad songs on here, whatsoever! I love the whole thing. Grade A classic Al stuff here!
1. Smells Like Nirvana - one of the best parodies Al's ever done. As rockin' as the original, but twice as much fun. Superb! 10/10
2. Trigger Happy - Though the concept is borrowed from "Top Secret," it's done much better than the folks involved in that movie. The music sounds as if the Beach Boys themselves could have done it, along with the background singers. One of Al's most solid style parodies. 8/10
3. I Can't Watch This - A terrific parody. Better than CP or Cable TV. A wonderfully structured song. I love the way he uses the "commercial breaks." 9/10
4. Polka Your Eyes Out - Maybe it's because I was in middle school at the time and therefore knew every song that was used in this one, but this is definately my second favorite polka. The songs are blended together very smoothly. 9/10
5. I Was Only Kidding - Hilarious junk rock song, sounds a lot like the one hit wonder - Ugly Kid Joe. This isn't my favorite song, but I still love listening to it. I especially enjoy the false beginning and the insane musical interlude. 7/10
6. The White Stuff - Nice little parody in the same vein as many of the other food songs. Still, singing about an obsession with Oreos just strikes me as quite a bit more realistic, and therefore more humorous, than an addiction for bologna or potatoes. 7/10
7. When I Was Your Age - I love this song. The music is awesome and the lyrics STILL make me laugh to this day, even after over a decade. Very original take on a classic cliche. 10/10
8. Taco Grande - The weakest song on the album, as discussed in its own thread. Though it still has its moments, particularily the Cheech Marin bridge. 6/10
9. Airline Amy - One of the most underrated Al songs in his catalogue. The music here is just phenomenal. And the lyrics feature the more subtle brand of Al humor that you find in "Good Old Days," "Why Does This Always Happen To Me," and "Good Enough For Now." I really appreciate humor that doesn't hit you over the head with the jokes. Great song! 9/10
10. The Plumbing Song - The fact that the lyrics alone aren't that funny is irrelevant with this song. Al captured the feel of the Milli Vanilli songs expertly, as usual. I love how he combined two different songs by the artist into one parody, something he'd never done before that, and something that I wish he'd do more of now. I also liked the reference to their other big hit, "Girl You Know It's True." What I appreciate most about this song, though, is that even though the song was written before the Milli Vanilli scandal, Al could have easily stuck in a joke or two poking fun at the scandal (such as the song suddenly skipping half-way through), but he chose not to. 7/10
11. You Don't Love Me Anymore - Brilliantly written song with some of the most beautiful music Al's ever written. This song could easily pass as a serious love song with only a few minor changes, namely the lyrics!
Great song! 10/10
12. Bite Me - Scares the crap out of me every time! Yes, it's a great gag on the album, but as a song...not so much. Still, I'd rather listen to 15 minutes of Al screaming at the top of his lungs, than have to listen to 10 seconds of "Syndicated Inc." 6/10
