To be honest, it is good, but I wouldn't say it's a best.

It's a very funny song, and the video is funny too, especially the backwards segment.

It's one of the few saving graces of BHD.

:D

I agree BHD isn't Al's best, but there's "The Night Santa Went Crazy", "Gump"...

"Amish Paradise" is clearly the best song on the album, both in terms of quality (much better than the original IMHO) and general popularity among casual and die-hard fans.

I think RWS was in a way the opposite of BHD: there was no one song that could be considered THE big hit of that album, in my opinion: it was just a terrific album all around.
