*eyes the .RAR file sitting on his desktop*

 

So it comes out on the 20th, but I heard some people are listening to it early. :ph34r:

 

For those who forgot, here's the list:

1. "Couch Potato," parody of Eminem's "Lose Yourself"

2. "Hardware Store"

3. "Trash Day," parody of Nelly's "Hot in Herre"

4. Party at the Leper Colony

5. "Angry White Boy Polka," parody of Papa Roach's "Last Resort," System of a Down's "Chop Suey," the Vine's "Get Free," the Hives' "Hate to Say I Told You So," the White Stripes' "Fell In Love With a Girl," the Strokes' "Last Nite," Disturbed's "Down With the Sickness," Rage Against the Machine's "Renegades of Funk," Limp Bizkit's "My Way," Staind's "Outside," Kid Rock's "Bawitdaba," P.O.D.'s "Youth of the Nation" and Eminem's "The Real Slim Shady"

6. "Wanna B Ur Lovr"

7. "A Complicated Song," parody of Avril Lavigne's "Complicated"

8. "Why Does This Always Happen to Me"

9. "Ode to a Superhero," parody of Billy Joel's "Piano Man"

10. "Bob"

11. "E-Bay," parody of the Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way"

12. "Genius in France"

 

I could, uh, arrange a sneek peak for my pals here at TSM if anyone cares. Any takers?

I'll all up for listening to it. Just bought Running With Scissors for $1.00, and it's actually pretty good.

I hope this CD is great, because it sounds fucking awesome. If you could post that, that would rule the entire earth.

It's pretty good.

 

Couch Potato, Ode To A Superhero, and Genius in France are the stand-outs.

I love cable internet. :D 75 megs downloaded in around 5 minutes. Excellent, Smithers. I won't get to listen to this tonight, but I'll definitely fire it up sometime this week.

Oh yes, Ode to a Super-hero is great, wish he'd done X-men and Hulk and Daredevil tales too

Angry White Boy Polka is now officially the funniest song of all time.

This rules... period. And is another reason why I love Weird Al

Why are The White Stripes, The Strokes, The Vines and The Hives included in the "Angry White Boy Polka"?

 

They don't exactly fit into what Al's doing a parody of.

Consider them the "loud garage sound sub-section" of the polka

Most of the parodies are pretty good this time around, have to give the originals a couple more listens, though I hope he starts ending every album with a really long crazy train-of-thought- song.

I got a press copy on Saturday. :P '

 

As far as the songs go...

 

1) Couch Potato - Very cool song. I'm big on TV, and this one just listed off so many shows.

2) Hardware Store - Weird, but funny song.

3) Trash Day - Funny song, but I hate "Hot in Here" so I can't listen to it much without the fear of getting that song in my head.

4) Party at the Leper Colony - Blah

5) Angry White Boy Polka - Fast, exciting, fun stuff.

6) Wanna B Ur Lovr - Great song of bad pick-up lines.

7) A Complicated Song - Ehhh...

8) Why Does This Always Happen to Me - Probably my favorite song off the CD.

9) Ode to a Superhero - Seemed like he was reading a plot synopsis from the Spiderman film. Not enough "in" jokes, or even witty comments to make it worthwhile.

10 and 11) I honestly don't remember these two songs (and I just listened to the full CD a few hours ago), so they probably weren't very good.

12) Genius in France - Really, really bad song.

 

Weird Al's going on tour, and I'm sooo going to it when he comes to Philly.

Right now, "Bob" gets the nod for best song on the album, because it's all palindromes.

 

That's just neat.

75 megs...uhh by the time I get it downloaded I'll be buying it. Glad for the early input though. It's a pickup for me definitely, always been a big fan of his.

 

I actually like his newer stuff because it sounds more finished, although the classic stuff (Another One Rides the Bus, etc.) are still greats.

Oh... Party At The Leper Colony seems to be a slowed down parody of the theme from "Footloose" that's all I could think when I listened to it.

 

Couch Potato - ****

Hardware Store - **3/4

Trash Day -***

Party At The Leper Colony - **3/4

Angry White Boy Polka - I don't rate polkas, but above average as far as they go

Wanna Be Your Lover - ***

A Complicated Song - ***1/2

Why Does This Always Happen to Me - ****

Ode to a Superhero - ****1/4

Bob - **3/4

Ebay - ***3/4

Genius In France - ***1/2

 

Ratings vary depending on my mood
