With talent for taking a joke as far as it can go without getting crass, blue (in his produced works), or overly cheesy.
This album was his second, and it would set the tone for the nine (as of this writing) that would follow (eleven total albums, if you can't do the math in your head). This is the first that would contain a polka compilation, "Polkas on 45" (a 45, for the youngens - of which I am, so I might not get this exactly right - is a kind of vinyl disk that would contain music). The first to be exclusively gag filled songs (I say this because I think "I'll Be Mellow When I'm Dead" on his preceding album is a clever rock song - not the parody or style-parody that would dominate his other albums).
"Eat It" is one of the most prominent songs of yore for Al, and it features the fantastic guitar solo by producer Rick Derringer (who’s famous in his own right, his biggest hit seems to be “Hang On Sloopy”. Check him out at www.rickderringer.com). “Midnight Star”, “I Lost on Jeopardy”, “Mr. Popeil” (B-52s style parody), and “Theme From Rocky XIII” are terrific. In “That Boy Could Dance”, Al shows his ability to put together a musically sound song with tickled ivory and blaring horns. “Buy Me a Condo” is nice change of pace being the only of his reggae song as of yet. “The Brady Bunch” takes the campy song “The Safety Dance” and smashes it into the campy show. “King of Suede” is a sound parody of The Police’s “King of Pain”, but I think it’s the weakest song. The best, in my humble opinion, would have to be “Nature Trail to Hell”. A ferocious song with some incredible horror music and inspired vocals. A truly demented song. I love it!
This is vintage Al. Was this review helpful?

I asked her if he had been "weird" and she said "Bleeding crazy." It was a pretty good moment for me I remember, cos a young Canadian, I hadn't really felt anything before resembling pride in my nationality. Suddenly I felt bigger and stronger and like singing cos I had found that my idol and me shared an immutable trait of "canadiana," or "je ne c'est quoi" to the french. Spread this around and it may become like the "Paul is Dead" thing!!!!!
Yeah, good album. His best polka ever, and "midnight star" is one of his best originals, as is "Nature Trail to Hell" (it has probably the most intense moment of Weird Al's life in it; the part where he roars "if you like the six o'clock news"). The only weak song is "That Boy Could Dance." Overall though, very good. Bravo. Peace!!! Was this review helpful? Sign In 1-3 of 3 Per Page |
