1	Dr. Demento Presents: Greatest Xmas Novelty CD (1989) more music like this by Various Artists If you like your Christmas tidings with a dollop of good humor, then this batch of holiday tunes is right up your alley. The lineup ranges from cute and innocuous (the Chipmunks, the Singing Dogs, and Spike Jones) to satirical (Stan Freberg and Allan Sherman) and just plain weird (Elmo and Patsy's "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" and Tom ... see all copies from $12.27! new only from $12.27!
2	That Was the Year That Was (1965) more music like this by Tom Lehrer Tom Lehrer's work always had a biting, satirical edge to it, but never was this more obvious than on this album, a collection of songs regarding events of the year 1965. Very little was sacred from Lehrer's sharp wit, from racism to the Catholic Church, and, while much of his subject matter has become outdated, his shrewd comic talents are beyond ... see all copies from $4.91! new only from $10.00!
3	Greatest Hits [RCA] (1999) more music like this by Spike Jones There have been many compilations of Spike Jones' music, but few have been better than RCA's 1999 collection, Greatest Hits. Over the course of 20 tracks, all of Jones' best-known songs are presented in their best-known versions, including "Leave the Dishes in the Sink, Ma," "My Old Flame," "Der Fuehrer's Face," "The Sheik of Araby, "William Tell ... see all copies from $5.44! new only from $11.06!
4	Songs & More Songs by Tom Lehrer (1997) more music like this by Tom Lehrer Tom Lehrer recorded rather sporadically starting in the 1950s then abruptly retired in the mid-'60s from his unique solo musical comedy act. He's a competent pianist with a voice that is perfect for his original material. This compilation combines both of his records that were originally pressed and sold privately on the Lehrer label, which he ... see all copies from $7.03! new only from $9.55!
5	Running With Scissors (1999) more music like this by "Weird Al" Yankovic Like many of Weird Al's 1990s albums, Running With Scissors is something of a mixed bag, although devoted fans will definitely find enough of interest to add it to their collections. As usual, the highlights tend to be song parodies: "The Saga Begins" is a retelling of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace from Obi-Wan Kenobi's point of view set ... see all copies from $7.18! new only from $7.18!
6	Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer (1959) more music like this by Tom Lehrer On Tom Lehrer's second studio album, he got a little more daring and biting, particularly on "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park," "The Masochism Tango," and "We Will All Go Together When We Go." Six years, after all, had elapsed since his 1953 debut, and social mores had loosened, if only a little. There's also one of his most well-known pieces, "It ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $10.71!
7	Knockers Up/Songs for Sinners (1992) more music like this by Rusty Warren In 1992, GNP Crescendo released Knockers Up/Songs for Sinners on one compact disc, which contained two complete albums originally released on Jubilee in 1961 -- Knockers Up and Songs for Sinners -- by chesty comedian Rusty Warren. Tim Sendra, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.97! new only from $15.98!
8	Off the Deep End (1992) more music like this by "Weird Al" Yankovic Following his exposure in the mid-'80s, Weird Al Yankovic's career stumbled with the poor-selling Polka Party in 1986 and his feature film UHF that tanked in 1989. Clearly, many people had grown tired of Yankovic's presence, just as they'd grown tired of the artists he was satirizing. Thus his chance for a comeback came in 1992, when Nirvana ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.06!
9	The Best of Shel Silverstein: His Words His Songs His Friends (2005) more music like this by Shel Silverstein Shel Silverstein is a hard guy to pin down, which is part of not only his charm, but his genius. He's best known as a children's author, but also was a Playboy cartoonist who couldn't resist a dirty joke. He penned novelty songs, but also could write songs as heart-wrenching as "Silvia's Mother" and "Once More With Feeling." He was also a terrific ... see all copies from $7.09! new only from $10.66!
10	Alapalooza (1993) more music like this by "Weird Al" Yankovic Following the genuinely inspired Off the Deep End, Alapalooza is a disappointing hodgepodge of weak originals and lame parodies, only slightly redeemed by the accurate satires of The Red Hot Chili Peppers ("The Bedrock Song") and Aerosmith ("Livin' in the Fridge"). Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.99! new only from $11.06!
11 view cover	Springtime for Liberals (2007) more music like this by Capitol Steps With the Democrats' landslide win of both the Senate and the House in the 2006 elections, it was only natural that it would be a prominent theme for the next Capitol Steps album. Mel Brooks' "Springtime for Hitler" (from The Producers) provides a perfect launching pad for the amusing "Springtime for Liberals" to introduce the complete, gloating ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $13.20!
12 view cover	The Remains of Tom Lehrer (2000) more music like this by Tom Lehrer Rhino's three-disc box set The Remains of Tom Lehrer presents 75 tracks from the satirist's four decade career. The first disc concentrates on Lehrer's studio output, including pieces from his 1953 debut Songs by Tom Lehrer and his 1959 album More of Tom Lehrer, as well as a 1996 version of "I Got It from Agnes" and "That's Mathematics," a ... see all copies from $34.99! new only from $43.75!
13 view cover	Poodle Hat (2003) more music like this by "Weird Al" Yankovic It's been said that artists will truly know they've entered pop culture when Weird Al Yankovic records a parody of their hit. But what does it mean when pop culture is ahead of Weird Al? Take his parody of the Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way," which Yankovic turns into "Ebay," but his satire is not far removed from the auction website's own ... see all copies from $12.69! new only from $12.69!
14 view cover	25 All-Time Novelty Hits (2002) more music like this by Various Artists These 25 tracks were all hits between 1955 and 1977, so it might not be quite accurate to dub them "all-time novelty hits." Still, that's the time span that most people who buy such compilations are going to want to zero in on, so what's the harm in the chronological limits? It can be taken for granted that a novelty compilation is going to have a ... see all copies from $15.40! new only from $15.40!
15 view cover	Ol' Blue Balls Is Back (1999) more music like this by Red Peters Red Peters' synthesized orchestra sounds fuller on Ol' Blue Balls Is Back, the hapless lounge singer's second collection of sleazy novelty tunes. Peters plays up his unaware attitude this time, making his blue and gross material easier to take. Most of the tracks consist of one long joke or one long double entendre, but that's what you buy a ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $2.99!
16 view cover	My Son, The Greatest: The Best of Allan Sherman [CD] (1988) more music like this by Allan Sherman The bad news is that Allan Sherman hasn't received the credit and praise he deserves. The good news is that his gifts and genius are manifest in abundance on this best of package. The word-playing godfather of the modern parody, Sherman's songs are definitely rooted in his Jewish culture. However, his humanity is so strong and universal that ... see all copies from $11.86! new only from $11.86!
17 view cover	Dare to Be Stupid (1985) more music like this by "Weird Al" Yankovic Dare to Be Stupid begins with what is perhaps Weird Al Yankovic's best parody ever, the brilliant and cutting "Like a Surgeon." Turning the tacky Madonna hit inside out and upside down, Yankovic comes up with a hilarious satire of the medical profession. Although the implications were probably missed by the none too bright Madonna, and may not ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $11.06!
18 view cover	These Are Jokes [CD/DVD] (2006) more music like this by Demetri Martin Taking Steven Wright's style of letting the absurdist one-liners fly, standup whiz kid Demetri Martin puts an indie spin on Wright's shtick and then breaks the act up with some weird, delicate songs featuring Glockenspiel, guitar, and synth. Mostly straight live standup with a couple studio concoctions tacked on the end, the audio portion of These ... see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
19 view cover	For Diehards Only (1995) more music like this by Da Yoopers Since many of Da Yoopers' older albums are only available on cassette, For Diehards Only is a necessity. A disc-only compilation, the album features the band's biggest (and best) songs. All the hits are here, even the skits, making For Diehards Only a good introduction to their work. Barry Weber, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.11! new only from $10.11!
20 view cover	His Royal Hipness (1992) more music like this by Lord Buckley There has never been a comedian quite like Lord Buckley. The title of this single-CD compilation, His Royal Hipness, is indicative of his status in the free-thinking and freewheeling "world of Hipdom." The material on this compact disc originally appeared as the long-players Euphoria, Vol. 1 and Euphoria, Vol. 2 in 1951. In 1963 the contents were ... see all copies from $11.86! new only from $11.86!
21 view cover	"Weird Al" Yankovic (1983) more music like this by "Weird Al" Yankovic "Weird Al" Yankovic makes his debut with this self-titled album, which can best be described as a silly collection of mid-'80s parodies. While a few original songs such as "Gotta Boogie" may attain a few laughs, the album's strong points are spoofs like "Ricky" and "I Love Rocky Road." Although not nearly as entertaining as some of his later ... see all copies from $4.75! new only from $11.06!
22 view cover	What's Your Name (1997) more music like this by Adam Sandler What's Your Name finds Adam Sandler turning in his first album comprised entirely of songs. Of course, Sandler hasn't abandoned comedy; he's simply turned into a musical parodist. Surprisingly, he's better at this than standup -- "The Lonesome Kicker" is a wicked send-up of Bruce Springsteen -- but his humor remains simplistic, juvenile, and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.00!
23 view cover	Presents the United States of America, Vols. 1-2 (1996) more music like this by Stan Freberg Even though it took Stan Freberg three-and-a-half decades, he successfully updated the irreverent and historically challenged masterpiece Presents the United States of America, Vol. 1: The Early Years (1961). With tongue firmly planted in cheek, Freberg and his all-star company take on some of the greatest tales and incidents from the annals of U ... see all copies from $6.20! new only from $33.62!
24 view cover	Bad Hair Day (1996) more music like this by "Weird Al" Yankovic see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.69!
25 view cover	Polka Party! (1986) more music like this by "Weird Al" Yankovic Although it is not "Weird Al" Yankovic's best release, Polka Party certainly has its moments. The album has many spoofs of popular '80s hits like James Brown's "Living In America," while original tunes such as "Christmas at Ground Zero" and "Good Enough for Now" are also very frown-lifting. Fans will be indeed pleased with Polka Party, which ... see all copies from $2.62! new only from $11.06!
