The Saga Begins: Little bit overrated although this is a timeless Al classic. Great way of mending words together to make sheer poetry. Great song deserves
9 / 10
My Baby's in Love With Eddie Vedder: Al usually doesn't sing about events that won't matter in the future but about events that will always apply to people, that people will always be faced with like being fat or eating it. Most people won't remember Pearl Jam in 10, 50, 2,700 years from now. It had a good accordion solo but that's about it's only good attribute. There were no lines that really stuck out as amazingly funny to me so this one deserves a
6 / 10
Pretty Fly (For a Rabbi): Great parody, very funny, and vastly underrated. This is Al's only "religous" parody (some may argue otherwise but whatever
![:P :P](./images/smilies/tongue.gif)
) and it is recorded very well. Another return of Bernie to top it all off. This song is a perfect example of a

The Weird Al Show Theme: This is a funny little song but it doesn't really do much for you unless you're a die-hard fan. Very funny if you can understand what he's saying and always a good way to remember the TV show,
7 / 10 for this one.
Jerry Springer: Funny song although it did feel kind of...well...last minute. This is Al's only "explicit" song (they have to censor terms like "hoes" on music videos when they put them on TV). My favorite line in the song is: "It's like a train wreck, you don't wanna stare but can't look away." Comic genius, just don't let your grandmother walk in on you playing it

Germs: Well, I really don't care for this song. The instrumentals were kind of annoying, the "microscopic bacteria" is kind of hard to hear, and it really isn't that funny. I don't think it had me laughing once throughout the song. This song gets a
5 / 10 for effort.
Polka Power!: A very good look into popular music of the late 90s although it could have done without Marilyn Manson (for one reason only. I was putting together a remix of this song using the bits of the real songs and, of course, I don't listen to Marilyn Manson (although he belongs to Interscope as well as Eminem) and I tried to get his song off of Window's Media Player so I couldn't get in trouble for downloading if
![:F :F](./images/smilies/whistling.gif)
and they only had the video so I had to watch the entire video and stream record the song...God what a fruitcake). Also, the Marilyn Manson part didn't add anything to the song. He well represented Walking on the Sun and Closing Time and did a very good job with this one, but this is my 3rd to last favorite polka. This one earns it's

Your Horoscope For Today: I'm never really sure which Al song is the greatest but I'm always debating between Amish Paradise, Albuquerque, and Your Horoscope For Today. This is a very, very good song with really nice vocals and instrumentals (plus a fast part which is always an up for me). Although making fun of horoscopes isn't the most original humor, Al pulls it off better than anyone I've ever seen do this so this song deserves a
10 / 10
It's All About the Pentiums: This song is pretty good. The video is very good with the girls in MSS (Mini Silver Suits
![:inlove: :inlove:](./images/smilies/wub2.gif)
) and the occasional appearence of celebrities such as Driew Carey and "Weird Al" Yankovic. The song is rap which, as you all know, I love but it's more of a rock-rap which is...not as good as the hardcore gangsta rap but there are some pretty good verses, you can easily tell in this song, though, that Al was not in a really good rapping mood that one day he was recording. Oh well. Pretty good song, pretty good video, this gets a

Truck Drivin' Song: Now I've always had special feelings for this song. It is lyrically good and musically alright. It gets the idea across but it isn't long enough and it's not really memorable at all. Good for die-hard fans, though. I love that voice

Grapefruit Diet: The Cherry Poppin' Daddies? When did they get popular? Oh well. Zoot Suit Riot was a perfect parody item although it never really got as popular as some of the other songs that he's parodied before and he did the best he could at parodying this. The best anyone could. A lot of effort went into this song but it just doesn't...work...Sorry Al but I didn't care for this one as much as it's clone, Fat. This one gets marked down to a

Albuquerque: PRAISE THE LORD! We have one of the funniest songs ever recorded!! This has great instrumentals, great vocals, and a great story. A+++ for effort, A++++++ for funniness. The only way that this song could be any better is if he worked a bit more with the outro. It seems a bit like he had this story and didn't know how to stop it. I like him trying to spell out Albuquerque but the rest of the outro really isn't needed. Obviously I'm going to give this song a
10 / 10
Running With Scissors: This is a great album with very good instrumentals and perfect vocals. You can tell that a lot of time and effort went into making this Cd and, as for sound, is probably his best CD but the overall quality and humor of the songs just doesn't match up to Bad Hair Day and Poodle Hat. This album still deserves a
