1	My Son, the Greatest: The Best of Allan Sherman [CD] (1988) more music like this by Allan Sherman add to wishlist 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 $6.46! new only from $6.46!
2	Songs & More Songs by Tom Lehrer (1997) more music like this by Tom Lehrer add to wishlist 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 $7.34! new only from $7.34!
3	Pete Seeger's Greatest Hits [2002] (2002) more music like this by Pete Seeger add to wishlist "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 $3.76! new only from $3.76!
4	That Was the Year That Was (1965) more music like this by Tom Lehrer add to wishlist 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sacred from Lehrer's sharp wit, from racism to the Catholic Church, and, while much of his subject matter has become outdated, his shrewd comic talents are beyond ...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 $4.18! new only from $10.76!
5	Halloween Hits [Rhino] (1991) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Rhino's Halloween Hits delivers everything anyone could want from a collection of spooky, campy rock & roll novelty songs about ghouls, ghosts, goblins, and monsters -- namely, "The Monster Mash." Just kidding, folks -- it has much more than that, including Jumpin' Gene Simmons' "Haunted House," the Five Blobs' "The Blob," Ray Parker, Jr.'s ... see all copies from $10.70! new only from $10.70!
6	Dr. Demento Presents: Greatest Xmas Novelty CD (1989) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist 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 $7.58! new only from $7.58!
7	The Best of Shel Silverstein: His Words His Songs His Friends (2005) more music like this by Shel Silverstein add to wishlist 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 $6.83! new only from $6.83!
8	Jerry Clower's Greatest Hits (1994) more music like this by Jerry Clower add to wishlist see all copies from $3.65! new only from $8.79!
9	Dr. Demento 20th Anniversary Collection: The Greatest Novelty Records of All Time (1991) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Dr. Demento 20th Anniversary Collection: The Greatest Novelty Records of All Time gathers two discs' worth of highlights from the five-volume Dr. Demento Presents series, as well as some of the good doctor's other favorite novelty singles. Anyone familiar with Demento's show will instantly recognize the Firm's "Star Trekkin'," Barnes & Barnes' ... see all copies from $21.94! new only from $21.94!
10	Running with Scissors (1999) more music like this by "Weird Al" Yankovic add to wishlist 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 $2.49! new only from $4.13!
11	Crackin' Up (1987) more music like this by Ray Stevens add to wishlist Crackin' Up! is exactly what you'll be doing the minute this Ray Stevens gem comes on -- instant classics like "Would Jesus Wear a Rolex," "I'm My Own Grandpaw" and "Three Legged Man" don't just make you laugh, they make you think, too. God bless you, Ray Stevens! ~ Chuck Donkers, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.61! new only from $5.68!
12	The Last of the Jewish Cowboys: The Best of Kinky Friedman (2006) more music like this by Kinky Friedman add to wishlist While conventional wisdom has it that Texas is a hotbed of conservative thought and social conformity, the Lone Star State also has a long and rich tradition of creative eccentrics, from Willie Nelson and Doug Sahm to Roky Erickson and the Butthole Surfers, and it says a lot that predominantly Christian Texas would spawn (and eagerly embrace) one ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
13	King of the Mountains (2007) more music like this by Rodney Carrington add to wishlist When he landed a sitcom on ABC in 2004, Rodney Carrington quickly lifted himself out of the world of guest appearances on morning zoo radio and small-time comedy clubs. In other words, he went from Tim Wilson to Jeff Foxworthy and sanitized his act accordingly for prime-time TV. The two seasons of Rodney had a bit of an edge, but the truly trashy ... see all copies from $11.08! new only from $11.08!
14	The Very Best of Stan Freberg (1998) more music like this by Stan Freberg add to wishlist Combining Tom Lehrer with Spike Jones (would that make Tom Jones?) and Nichols and May with Joe Friday (a May weekend perhaps?), musical comedian Stan Freberg skewers everyone from Walt Disney to Cole Porter. Mumbling through "Sh-Boom," Freberg drags "The Great Pretender" snarling to "The Heartbreak Hotel," snares "The Yellow Rose of Texas," and ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $12.51!
15	Straight Outta Lynwood (2006) more music like this by "Weird Al" Yankovic add to wishlist Three years between Weird Al Yankovic albums has been the norm since the '90s, but a lot happened to the parody king between 2003's Poodle Hat and his 2006 release, Straight Outta Lynwood. First off, Poodle Hat stalled after one single. Then while on tour promoting the album, Yankovic's parents were both killed in their home from carbon monoxide ... see all copies from $6.66! new only from $6.66!
16	Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer (1959) more music like this by Tom Lehrer add to wishlist 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 $4.34! new only from $9.91!
17	You Might Be a Redneck If... (1994) more music like this by Jeff Foxworthy add to wishlist You Might Be a Redneck If... encapsulates the humor of Jeff Foxworthy on a single disc. Essentially variations on the title phrase "You Might Be a Redneck If...," Foxworthy's jokes and simple but never crude. Like any comedy album, it appeals to a specific taste. If you find Foxworthy's repetitive jokes hilarious, you might be a fan. If you don't ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.44!
18	Christmas with the Chipmunks, Vol. 1 (1962) more music like this by The Chipmunks add to wishlist 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 $1.99! new only from $1.99!
19	Even Worse (1988) more music like this by "Weird Al" Yankovic add to wishlist 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 ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.85!
20	Bad Hair Day (1996) more music like this by "Weird Al" Yankovic add to wishlist As Weird Al Yankovic gets older, his albums get more reactionary, and Bad Hair Day is no exception. The first single, a parody of Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise" entitled "Amish Paradise," was a hit. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.56!
21	Off the Deep End (1992) more music like this by "Weird Al" Yankovic add to wishlist 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 $6.06!
22	"Weird Al" Yankovic (1983) more music like this by "Weird Al" Yankovic add to wishlist "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 $1.99! new only from $6.83!
23	Live: C'mon Laugh You Bastards (2001) more music like this by Rodney Carrington add to wishlist see all copies from $8.44! new only from $9.78!
24	Alapalooza (1993) more music like this by "Weird Al" Yankovic add to wishlist 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 $1.99! new only from $6.83!
25	Schoolhouse Rock! Rocks (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Sing the phrase "I'm just a Bill, yes I'm only a Bill" to any American between the ages of 25 and 40 and they'll answer "and I'm sittin' here on Capitol Hill" without thinking twice. "I'm Just a Bill" was only one of dozens of School House Rock! animated videos that ran on ABC Saturday morning TV throughout the '70s. Following the lead of Sesame ... see all copies from $2.45! new only from $10.37!
