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 ...

Running With Scissors

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 ...

"Weird Al" Yankovic
With an album behind him, Weird Al Yankovic makes much of the improvements expected of new artists when they get a second crack at a release a year later. He premieres the concept of his own band, basically well-trimmed types that looked good in music videos. They also play very well as a unit, so whatever image augmentation was accomplished is ...

Even Worse

by
"Weird Al" Yankovic
Trust Weird Al Yankovic to name an album "Even Worse" even as his recordings were getting better again. After a bit of a slump, he rebounded in 1988 by making fun of the same old guy again, Michael Jackson. Video played a big part in the success of "I'm Fat," based on "I'm Bad." In fact, one could say it was a whole new ball game for parody ...

"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 ...

"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 ...

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 ...

Dare to Be Stupid

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 ...

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 ...

Adam Sandler
Just one of many gifted comedians to emerge from Saturday Night Live's impressive early-'90s roster, Adam Sandler nevertheless defied cynics' expectations by moving on to an improbably long and successful post-SNL film career, where he proceeded to endlessly recycle his stunted man-child persona ad nauseam -- much to the delight of his captive ...

Adam Sandler
In his incredibly successful run of films, Adam Sandler's constant has been his penchant for playing the jokey everyman. From Happy Gilmore to Mr. Deeds, he's the likeable lout with a heart of gold and a love of guy stuff like hockey, farts, and McDonald's breakfasts. His perpetual hangdog look and Jewish-joke songs have carried him a long way ...

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 ...

Polka Party!

"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 ...

It says something that Adam Sandler returned to recording comedy albums after he became a superstar, earning 20 million dollars per movie. Perhaps the records gave Sandler the opportunity to explore his well-documented vulgar side, something that he couldn't really do in Big Daddy, the movie that appeared three months before his fourth album, Stan ...

"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 ...

Sure, he can be corny, but when "Weird Al" Yankovic hits the target, he can also be one pointed satirist. Greatest Hits Volume II gathers such rib-ticklers as "Headline News" (Tanya Harding meets the Crash Test Dummies), "Jurassic Park" (to the tune of "MacArthur Park"), and "Smells Like Nirvana."

"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 ...

Alapalooza

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").
