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sacred from Lehrer's sharp wit, from racism to the Catholic Church, and, while much of his subject matter has become outdated, his shrewd comic talents are beyond ...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	Pete Seeger's Greatest Hits [2002] (2002) more music like this by Pete Seeger "Greatest Hits," as Seeger himself wryly wrote in his liner notes, is a misnomer considering that he never had hit singles or huge-selling albums as a solo artist, though actually "Little Boxes" (included here) made the lower reaches of the charts. In reality this 1967 compilation (since reissued on CD) collects the most popular tracks of his 1962 ... see all copies from $8.11! new only from $11.06!
5	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!
6	Crazy Hits (2005) more music like this by Crazy Frog Before it was known as Crazy Frog, the European ringtone sensation had a much more accurate name: The Annoying Thing. This helium-voiced, bluish-gray, anatomically correct CGI lump -- which looks and sounds like an amphibious take on Hampton the Hampster -- became a pop culture epidemic in Europe and especially the U.K., with ringtones, TV ... see all copies from $2.51! new only from $13.34!
7	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 5: Wild Cool & Swingin (1996) more music like this by Various Artists This 18-song compilation is the showbiz-encased, Vegas-ized school of late-'50s and early-'60s pop vocals. The emphasis is certainly more on the "cool" than the wild and swinging; if it ever breaks out a sweat, there will be a martini-dipped silk handkerchief on hand to wipe it away. You get selections from Rat Packers (Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $10.79!
8	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!
9	More Crazy Hits (2006) more music like this by Crazy Frog "He's lean, he's mean, and he's green!" says the intro track to Crazy Frog's second album, More Crazy Hits, overlooking that his odd powder-blue shade is part of the Frog's craziness. Crazy Hits featured about an equal amount of Crazy Frog's vocal stylings and session vocalists, but this time around, the Frog is almost completely relegated to the ... see all copies from $5.50! new only from $13.34!
10	Christmas with the Chipmunks, Vol. 1 (1962) more music like this by The Chipmunks If you ignore, with the benefit of "grown-up" hindsight, the fact that the voices of Alvin, Simon, and Theodore were somewhat shrill, occasionally tuneless, and arguably annoying to obnoxious levels, the first volume of Christmas With the Chipmunks is a classic holiday record, and it certainly is that. The minor failings of those three cartoon ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $3.00!
11 view cover	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!
12 view cover	Toolbox Christmas (1998) more music like this by Woody Phillips see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
13 view cover	Greatest Hits [MCA] (1987) more music like this by Ray Stevens The ten-track Greatest Hits collection covers three decades of Ray Stevens' most successful novelty records. These original hits include "The Streak," "It's Me Again, Margaret," and "The Mississippi Squirrel Revival," along with his straight country hits "Everything Is Beautiful," "Misty," and "Turn Your Radio On." Al Campbell, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.99! new only from $10.78!
14 view cover	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!
15 view cover	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!
16 view cover	Greatest Hits (1989) more music like this by "Weird Al" Yankovic Though 1989's Greatest Hits only covers the first half of "Weird Al" Yankovic's career, it nevertheless features nearly all of his best work, with classics such as "Eat It," "Fat," and "I Lost on Jeopardy" chief among its highlights. The collection takes a fairly even amount from each of Yankovic's early albums -- Weird Al Yankovic, In 3-D, Dare ... see all copies from $9.15! new only from $11.06!
17 view cover	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!
18 view cover	Drunk in Public (2003) more music like this by Ron White see all copies from $4.17! new only from $13.34!
19 view cover	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 1: Mondo Exotica (1996) more music like this by Various Artists An 18-song exhumation of the Capitol exotica back catalog, placing old standbys like Martin Denny, Les Baxter, and Yma Sumac alongside lesser-knowns like Webley Edwards, Bas Sheva, and the wonderfully-named 80 Drums Around the World. This favors easy listening-friendly exotica, rather than the style at its most outrageous. It may be too ... see all copies from $9.55! new only from $10.79!
20 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!
21 view cover	Meowy Christmas (1994) more music like this by Jingle Cats Christmas standards rendered exclusively through the spliced, collective meowlings of several dozen kittens. Roch Parisien, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.99! new only from $8.99!
22 view cover	Box Set (2006) more music like this by Ray Stevens The eclectic career of gospel/country/comedy artist Ray Stevens creates a big challenge for anyone attempting to make a representational "best-of" album. He jumped from genre to genre as often as he switched labels, leaving compilers with mountains of unrelated song subjects and complicated licensing issues. When the 2005 Box Set was announced, ... see all copies from $11.29! new only from $16.23!
23 view cover	Beethoven's Wig, Vol. 3: Many More Sing-Along Symphonies (2006) more music like this by Various Artists Beethoven's Wig, Vol. 3 is a strange mixture of classic send-up and purposely ham-handed performances loosely related to classical music. The liner notes refer to the project as "zany lyrics set to the greatest hits of classical music," which sounds about right save for the idea that classical music ever made it onto Billboard. Similar to P.D.Q. ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $11.31!
24 view cover	You Can't Fix Stupid (2006) more music like this by Ron White A payoff from his role in the Blue Comedy Tour's success, the audience Ron White plays to on You Can't Fix Stupid is huge. The comedian, however, hasn't changed a bit. He's still that rare rambler at the end of the bar who's entertaining while shooting his mouth off at the modern world and getting scatological whenever possible. The laziness White ... see all copies from $14.32! new only from $14.32!
25 view cover	A John Waters Christmas (2004) more music like this by John Waters A John Waters Christmas is the type of kitschy Christmas compilation one would expect from the cult director, featuring such gems as Roger Christian's reading of "Little Mary Christmas," the ballad of an orphaned girl who is passed up for adoption year after year until Santa Claus finally brings her a new set of parents, and Tiny Tim's rendition ... see all copies from $5.49! new only from $7.94!
