Album Notes
This is an Enhanced CD which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.Personnel: "Weird Al" Yankovic, Jim West (guitar, mandolin); Dweezil Zappa (guitar); Herb Pederson (banjo); John Juke Logan, Will Anderson (harmonica); Tom Evans (saxophone); Lee Thornburg (trumpet, trombone); Ruben Valtierra, Ben Folds (piano); Kim Bullard (keyboards); Steve Jay (bass); John Bermuda Shwartz (drums, percussion, programming); Maxine Waters, Julia Waters, Carmen Twilley (background vocals).Recorded at Mad Dog Studios, Burbank, California.Novelty acts by their very definition tend to be fleeting; once their novelty wears off, the humor evaporates and the performer is a footnote, an answer to a trivia question, if even that. POODLE HAT marks the third decade of parody king "Weird Al" Yankovic's work, with the modern master of all that's silly is still garnering attention and selling albums, showing no sign of stopping. No matter how inured one might be to his antics, it's hard to deny some of his truly gut-busting moments. Take the Eminem parody "Couch Potato," which skewers practically every television show and related fad of the previous four years, even offering rather trenchant commentary on reality television; it's hard to tell if he's kidding or serious when he spouts "next week on Fox watch lions eat Christians." Most importantly, the parody is deft and dead-on, as most novelty acts who have managed any kind of career from Spike Jones to Tom Lehrer have been students of their art, an art surprisingly complex for all its silliness. POODLE HAT matches the usual expectations of Yankovic fans, featuring the usual anticipated and hilarious polka medley and a startlingly deft guest shot by piano man Ben Folds.

Editorial Reviews
...Yankovic is one of the few musicians who play with words and pop culture as deftly as Eminem... - Rating: B

Love it, love it love it,
From Weird Al Yankovic, this CD is possibly one of the favourites in my collection. Completely unpolitically correct, and not caring less, the CD takes well know tracks and puts a different and usually very amusing spin on them.

I purchased this after hearing Chris Moyles on Radio 1 banging on about it.
Tracks include a parody of Lose yourself, by Enimen, called Couch potato.... Know Hot in Here by Nelly? It has been reworked into Trash Day, Avril Lavingne - Complicated becomes A complicated song, and possibly the most famous song on the CD, the eBay song, parodied a million times on u-tube around the world, originally this was I want it that way by the Back Street Boys - who you scream....? Well I guess you might find it on eeeeeBaaayyy.

Great CD to put on at a party to see which guests are paying attention or ideal when you need some school room humour to cheer your mood.

A definite favourite in my collection

Happy listening

Suz xx
