World of Weird Al Yankovic

1) Money for Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies - Not really a bad song, but nothing spectacular either. 7/10

2) Gandhi II - Amusing in audio form. Absolutely hilarious on film. 7/10

5) Hot Rocks Polka - Awesome, awesome polka. It rules. 10/10

6) UHF - Nice movie theme. 8/10

7) Let Me Be Your Hog - Humorous, but needs more. A lot more. 5/10

10) Spatula City - Same as Gandhi, funny on film. 7/10

11) Fun Zone - Very nice instrumental. 9/10

12) Spam - Pretty obvious parody, but done well. 7/10

13) Then Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota - A funny story set to fitting music. Great way to end the album. 9/10

Average: ~7.1 - A decent album with a handful of memorable little gems.

Money for Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies-7/10 It's an okay song. It's really pretty clever. It just strikes me as funny to hear the lyrics to the Beverly Hillbillies theme song sung as a rock song.
Ghandi II-9/10 A very funny idea for a movie. "He's a one-man wrecking crew, but he also knows how to party. 'Give me a steak, medium rare'".
Attack of the Radioactive Hamsters from a Planet Near Mars-8/10. A pretty funny original. It's just a silly song, and I like it that way.
Isle Thing-9.5/10 Very funny. I love how Al brings Funky Cold Medina into it too.'
Hot Rocks Polka-10/10. I'd give it higher than a 10 if I could. It's my all-time favorite polka.
UHF-10/10. Great original, and a great movie theme.
Let Me Be Your Hog-9/10 Short but sweet.
She Drives Like Crazy-9.5/10-Al sounds like Kermit the Frog in it, which makes the song funnier.
Generic Blues-8.5/10. I know this song touches a nerve with some people, but I really find it pretty funny.
Spatula City-10/10. What a great short piece! "We're in the yellow pages under spatulas."
Fun Zone-10/10. Al's only instrumental track on an album. It's very lively, and I love it before the live shows.
Spam-9.5/10. Very funny.
The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota-10/10. One of Al's best originals. It's really awesome.
Overall, the album is very good. It is often underrated. It has a lot of great songs, and few weak points.

BTW, I now appreciate Ghandi II because of the Mad Lib, TheMeccaOfAlbinoPoodles II.

Ghandi II - 11/10. That's all I have to say about the album. Pure genius.

Hmm mixed reviews! Now I'm curious I will have to get this one. And see what I think.

I think what got me was someone rated it little higher then PH. Wow! But hey that's good.

My review: I like it all except MFN/BH, which I rarely listen to because I played it too much when I was younger, and AOTRHFAPNM is one of my least favorite Al songs.

1) Money for Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies - Great song, even better on video. 7/10
2) Gandhi II - Funny song, makes you want to study social science....or not 7.8/10

3) Attack of Radioactive Hamsters From a Planet Near Mars - ...umm...interesting song...6.3/10

4) Isle Thing - Too "thingy" for my taste 5/10

5) Hot Rocks Polka - These rocks are sizzlin' 10/10

6) UHF - Has a couch potato thing going. 8/10

7) Let Me Be Your Hog - I think Uncle Harvey is better off without this. 4/10

She Drives Like Crazy - Its a nice song. 7.2/10

9) Generic Blues - Touching 8/10

10) Spatula City - Makes you want to make some eggs or pancakes 8/10

11) Fun Zone - Its ok 7/10

12) Spam - What's it about again? 7.3/10

13) Then Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota -A nice little song that you can listen to over and over 9/10
Overall----As said before, easily the best album.

I heard that the UHF Soundtrack is rare, yet I see at least one copy in most record stores. Did I miss something?

It's not rare, but for some reason, people think it is. I think that whole rumor may have started because when the Albums were reissued in 1991, UHF Soundtrack was not one of the ones reissued. It was reissued in 1992.

OOOOHHH.

Well, maybe I should pick it up anyway, just in case.
