"Like you can see in the title above, this is my second favorite only to Running With Scissors. But anyway, let me get to my review.

Smells Like Nirvana is a parody of Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana. It is about two minutes shorter than the original, but I still give it a 4/5.

Trigger Happy is a Beaach Boys style song, and might just be the best original tha Al's ever done. I give it 5/5.

I Can't Watch This is a parody of M.C. Hammer's U Can't Touch This. It;s a pretty good parody, opening Al into the rap region. I give it 4/5.

Polka Your Eyes Out is another polka, just another chronicle to the series. But, it does have a small drum solo and also is very catchy. It gets a 4/5.

I Was Only Kidding is a funny original about Al lying to his girlfriend about getting married etc. Pretty godd, 4/5.

The White Stuff is a parody of New Kids On The Block's The Right Stuff, it's just a normal parody about Al loving the oreo filling so much he spreads it on toast. 4/5.

When I Was Your Age is another original about a grandpa telling his grandkid about how rough his childhood was. 4/5

Taco Grande might just be one of the best parodies Al has ever done. It parodies Gerardo's Rico Suave, and is very catchy and tasty. I love it, it gets a 5/5.

Airline Amy is an original about Al falling in love with an airplane stewardess. 4/5

The Plumbing Song is a Parody of Milli Vanilli's Baby Don't Forget My Number and Blame It On The Rain. Al fits the extra part very well into the song. It gets a 5/5

You Don't Love Me Anymore is an anti-love original about Al's spouse getting angry and doing weird stuff to him. Completely distasteful, 3/5.

It's a pretty good CD, with good originals and parodies and ultimatley relaunched Al's career. I give the CD a 5/5."

"Weird Al is the King of Parody. I haven't had a CD of his that hasn't made me laugh over and over again. Cannot say much to add to the bulk of this testimonial, but if you have enjoyed his work this is one of Weird Al's best CDs of contemporary music."
