Brue, I dont know if your being defensive or just stateing your opinion which is fine. Im just wondering. Because what I have read there is a lot of debating going on and its sounds angry.

I've changed my opinion. You made so great points, Scottidog. I always thought the song was funny, but it's not one of my favorites. But I agree that Al would do his best simply because of the love he has for his fans. If it wasn't as good as his other songs, maybe it was because he was forced to write it, and maybe he didn't have as much time as he would've liked.scottidog @ Jan 11 2004, 05:33 PM wrote: Well at least 100% anyway. But yeah, I think so too. Because like it or not, his name is still attached to it. And his fans are still going to shell out cash for it. He's not going to slack.
This was before he had any vocal training. As far as I'm concerned Al's voice sounds much better now. A lot of his early recordings actually make me cringe. He may not have made his voice sound that way on purpose, He might not have been able to control it at the time. Just a thought.squishsquashgirl @ Jan 13 2004, 09:48 PM wrote: But I do agree that Al's voice in it has an underlying note of "Ha ha! You can make me sing the stupid song, but you can't make me sing it nicely!"
1) Lyrically and comedy-wise, it's just not as clever, funny, or imaginative as most of his stuff.
It sounds fine, you may want to re-listen to the original. Plus what's wrong with musical hands...this was off his 3rd album, when he still had that "older" sound. I think it sounds musicaly great.2) Musically, it sounded more like something that would have been on his debut album, with the musical hands and so on.
I think he was making fun of Lauper's obnoxious and annoying voice. Plus he dosen't always imitate the females (or sometimes male) voice. Again, listen to the original, he sound pretty close for a guy.3) Vocally, not only did he not attempt to duplicate Lauper's singing (which, granted, is very unique and difficult to imitate), but he sang in that really obnoxious, annoying voice.
