    Poodle Hat

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 13, 2003 | 10 out of 11 found this Poodle Hat review helpful

    Possibly Weird Als best work, parodies of Lose Yourself by Eminem,I Want It That Way by Backstreet Boys, Hot In Here by Nelly and Complicated by Avril Lavigne. Plus Billy Joel parody, a tribute to Frank Zappa (with special guest Dweezel Zappa) and a ...homage to the songs of Bob Dylan. Great CD, hope theres a video. Read more Less

    An intelligent review of Poodle Hat

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 23, 2003 | 9 out of 10 found this Poodle Hat review helpful

    below youll find what Im hoping is an entertaining and informative review. This new release has 12 tracks on it, all some of Als best stuff. Lets go through all 12 tracks, shall we? Ok, lets. 1. Coutch Potato...this is a parody of Eminems #1 hit Lose... Yourself. Al talks about all the crazy stuff on tv now. I give this one 10 out of 10. 2. Hardware store...This is an original. I give al lots of credit on this one because hes able to sing all those lyrics so fast. I give it 9 out of 10. 3. Trash Day...This is a parody of Hot In Herre by Nelly. Not one of my very faves by Nelly but Al makes it good. You may never think of taking out the trash quite the same again. I give this one 9 out of 10. 4. Party At The Lepper Colony...This is another original. Lyrics are great and the song is actually really good! I also give this one a high rating, 8 out of 10.5. Angry White Guy Polka...ah, its the Obligatory Polka Medley. It wouldnt be a Weird Al album without one, hes been doing it for years. Gotta love System of a Down done Polka Style! Too funny! 10 out of 10.6. Wanna Be Ur Lovr...I think this is my least fave song on the album. I dunno, it just didnt grab me like the others. 6 out of 10.7. A Complicated Song...This is a parody of Complicated, another number 1 hit by Avril Lavigne. I like that song which is what made this song even funnier. The lyrics to this one made me bust out laughing so I definitely give this one 10 out of 10. Nicely done.8. Why Does This Always Happen To Me...Another original and the lyrics again are really good on this one. Typical al original material. 9 out of 10.9. Ode To A Superhero...A Parody of Billie Joels Classic Piano Man, and very nicely done at that. If youre a fan of the movie Spiderman as I was, youll like it even more. 10 out of 10.10. Bob...this is what Ill call a style Parody. Everyone knows that nobody can understand Bob Dylans singing anymore. I originally thought that Al was just singing random words and phrases til a friend of mine rightly pointed out that all the words he uses in the lyrics are palendromes. A very creative and original idea. 10 out of 10.11. Ebay...A parody of BSBs I Want it That way. Excellent Lyrics, instrumentation and all around good. 10 out of 10.12. Genius In France...This is my all time favorite song on the album. Im a Zappa freak and I think that Frank is probably smiling up there. Al is obviously a Zappa fan as well, so he took great pains to make this sound *exactly* like a song Frank might do and he is dead on. Franks son Dweezele, adds a nice guitar sound to this particular gem, and I think its the icing on the cake. I fully realize that some people arent gonna get it. But for those who do, we love it. Overall, I give this disc a solid 10 out of 10. Nice song choices, well crafted and after all these years youd think thered be nothing to do parodies about. But as long as theres pop culture, music and other things, Weird Al will be right there to put it all in perspective for us. Go out and buy this cd. Its wworth it! Read more Less

    well its about time!!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 16, 2003 | 4 out of 4 found this Poodle Hat review helpful

    most of these stupid clear channel songs NEED a new life. No I am not talking about a remix with Ludacris rappin during the insturmental part of the song, but new lyrics to the already horrible songs out there that will now be very enjoyable and list...enable thanks to Wierd Al. For 20 years, he has parodized many artists, both music and movies who were popular (and/or horrible) by changing their lyrics around to some crazy topics or to make fun of the band (smells like nirvana) or a bands sound (Dare to be Stupid sounds like a Devo song). All n all, I cant wait for this to complete my wierd al collection. Read more Less

    From great covers like Couch Potato and the Complicated song, to his signature Angry White Boy Polka, Weird Al once again delivers the wonderful parodies that geeks and music fans around the world have waiting for.

    The Price Of a King

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 14, 2003 | 4 out of 5 found this Poodle Hat review helpful

    Many years I have been a Weird Al fan, The 1st tape I had of his was even worse. As I get older I only hope hell stay number one in Comedy. He is a Remarkable Man that started at such a young age. You can tell By the years that go by who makes it in ...the Music world as Being the best. He might not have many cds or many fans out there. But in my point of veiw, Weird Al matches up with the all around superstars.The real Music Writers of this Age. Just really put it together, How many singers or bands stay in the game as long as he has. Read more Less

    I have a friend that was able to get a single leaked song off the new album (not even a whole song, just a part of one), and he showed it to me. IT WAS AMAZING. The song Party at the Leper Colony is absolutely hilarious! This album is going to be gre...at! Read more Less

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 18, 2003 | 3 out of 4 found this Poodle Hat review helpful

    Al seems to be having a lot more fun than he has with the last two (mediocre) albums... This batch of originals may be his most accomplished musically -- the rapid-fire Hardware Store, the sultry jokefest Wanna B Ur Lovr and the Zappa tribute Genius ...In France all rank among his best. The parodies are top-notch, all leaps and bounds above his last few big parodies, such as the pointless Gump and boring Saga Begins...A Complicated Songs split structure (three parodies for the price of one!) is hilarious. Combining the syrup Piano Man with the spiderman concept works especially well...Al fans and casual fans alike will find much to like. Read more Less

    Wierd Al is back at it again.......

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 3, 2003 | 2 out of 2 found this Poodle Hat review helpful

    Wierd Al has once again graced us with his talents. He has come back with a cd reminding me of my first taste of wierd al when I was 4 (1989). Worry struck me when Running with Scissors came out. The lyrics nor the song selection pleased me, to a you...nger generation he was their new god. I worried had I grown up? No this couldnt be. Poodle Hat proved me wrong and brought me relief. I am thrilled and look forward to more! If you dont own this cd, get it now!!!!! Read more Less
