Merged because there's really no reason to be bumping 5 year old topics when there's another topic that it should go in

Couch Potato: Decent parody, I just wish it hadnt been used for the lead parody. 6/10

Hardware Store: Best original on the album, and one of my favorites overall. Only barely misses best song on the album (see Ebay). 10/10

Trash Day: I was unfortunately exposed to the original song by my niece. All I can say is this is slightly better. 2/10

Party at the Leper Colony: I like the joke here, but the music doesnt hold up to repeated listens. 4/10

Angry White Boy Polka: I love it when Al does themed polkas and for the most part this is a great polka that also takes a stab at the angsty rock/metal of the time. Only a few segments miss the mark. 8/10

Wanna B Ur Lovr: Great song. This was the surprise of the album for me, being better than any of the other songs I hadnt heard before getting it. 9/10

A Complicated Song: The original was sort of a guilty pleasure of mine so I was happy to have a guilt-free version of the song. Al did a great job mixing up the themes in the different verses without breaking the continuity of the song. Well done. 7/10

Why Does This Always Happen to Me?: This one reminds me of a SNL sketch. Really funny at first, but the joke gets stretched thin by the end. Great music though. 8/10

Ode to a Superhero: Great in concept, love the accordion, but somewhat surprisingly lacking in humor. 7/10

Bob: See Party at the Leper Colony. 3/10

Ebay: Best song on the album. Its just a perfect parody. 10/10

Genius in France: Much like how I feel about Frank Zappas music, I admire the effort and talent involved here but its just not something I can listen to. 5/10

Overall: My 11th favorite Weird Al album. 6.5/10

I don't get "Party at the Leper Colony".

Leprosy is a disease that causes body parts to fall off. So P@tLC is a lot of puns based off of that.

Umm... Ok? I knew what Leprosy was. So it's basically just a bunch of bad jokes about it?

Exactly.

Oh, so what's this story about Al calling you?

Post by **Big Spoon** » Sat Jan 26, 2008 1:52 am

It's a very long story. I'll post in shortened version of it in Blather soon.

Ok, sorry about the brain surgeries...

Thanks. I'm all better now, so don't worry.
