Like A Surgeon had me laughing hard.


Dare To Be Stupid is very peculiar.


Yoda is good and catchy.


One More Minute is a good slow song.


This Is The Life is a 50's song.

4 out of 5 stars More of "Weird Al"'s parodies and spoofs.......2006-09-07

"Weird Al" Yankovic is still fulfilling his contract with Scotti Brothers,the CBS-owned company that controls his independent Rock And Roll Records label. This 1985 release,I found far better than Al's previous two albums. Being a longtime Madonna fan,I love LIKE A SURGEON which tells about an erroneous surgeon who's "a disgrace to the AMA(American Medical Association),cause my patients die before they can pay." Madonna has a cameo in the video. She's sitting in a hospital filing her fingernails. The title track,a Yankovic original,is a spoof of Devo.
Those who love Huey Lewis & The News' I WANT A NEW DRUG will also love I WANT A NEW DUCK. ONE MORE MINUTE is another Yankovic original done in the style of Sha-Na-Na. Oldies-but-goodies fans will sure love that one. YODA is a tribute to the Star Wars character with Ray Davies' music to his band The Kinks' recording LOLA. GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE is just a cover of the theme from the classic cartoon show. Other Yankovic originals include SLIME CREATURES FROM OUTER SPACE,THIS IS THE LIFE(the theme from the 1984 Michael Keaton film JOHNNY DANGEROUSLY), and CABLE TV. Another one of Al's food parodies is GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE LUNCH with music from Cyndi Lauper's hit recording GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN. HOOKED ON POLKAS is a sequel to IN 3-D's POLKAS ON 45 featuring a medley of covers of non-satirical hit songs. HOP contains WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT?,STATE OF SHOCK,FOOTLOOSE,METAL HEALTH,OWNER OF A LONELY HEART and others.

5 out of 5 stars HAHAHAHAHAHA.......2006-08-31

I'm still recovering from my laffing. "Here's a waver, for you to sian" "Or stick my nosterls toghether with Krasy Glue" "They got hands all covered with fungus, they got eyes like some kind of bug, I shure hope they don't come in here, I just sampooed the rug!" and other lines crack me like an egg. "Slime Crechers from Outer Space" is my faverit and "Girls Just Want to have Lunch" is great, but "This is the Life" well bad. If you don't crack up to this al-bum you are very stupid

3 out of 5 stars Some good songs, but not the best album.......2006-01-11

This is one of Al's more mediocre albums. Some very funny songs, yes, and some very good parodies, but not an exceptional selection.

4 out of 5 stars Put down your chainsaw and listen to me..........2005-11-02

Hilarious LP that still cracks me up. I dig the earlier more DIY sound of Al better than his more-mature, demure, long-haired self... His CDs have gotten smarter and stylistically more chameleon-like (remember back in '92 when the Al video for smells like nirvana came on and at first you actually thought it was the Nirvana video?), buit I still like this earlier stuff more... Dare to be Stupid has to be one of the funniest songs and videos of all time.
