Free Music Notes for Weird Al Yankovic - Greatest Hits, Volume 1Free Music Review: The best of "Weird Al" the early years (a.k.a. the 1980s)
The problem with these "Weird Al" Yankovic hit collections is that they are almost always better than his original albums ("Running With Scissors" would be the exception that proves the rule), and there are enough of them (especially if you count the "theme" collections) to make you forget about picking up those original albums and just wait for the next hits collection to come out. "Greatest Hits, Volume 1," as the title subtly points out, would be the first of these collections, bringing together ten of his better efforts from the early years (what historians would call the 1980s), stretching all the way back to the basic accordion days of "Ricky" to the big band sound of "Fat." These were the simple times, when obviously the idea was to make enough money to put food on the table, because that was Yankovic's main topic (e.g., "Eat It," "Addicted to Spuds," "Lasagna"). The Michael Jackson and Madonna parodies might have gotten the most press but I like "I Lost on Jeopardy" and the way "Weird Al" worked in all of the different types of hernias into "Living With a Hernia." |
