Review by Glitchwerks Nov 09, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
Weird Al is truly one of the greatest satirists of our time. He's kept his humor family friendly too. He's quite possibly the most brilliant comedian of all time. He makes me laugh like no one else. Jokes in spades, and you can feed it to your kids. Perfection. The real shame is no one else comes close. Like Zappa, this may all be gone too soon. Who else on this planet will turn popular music into Polka tunes?
