About
Although rounded out by Yankovic originals, Weird Al’s third studio album contains some of his finest song parodies: Madonna herself suggested "Like a Surgeon," and The Kinks, Huey Lewis, and Cyndi Lauper all attract Al's satiric attention. The highlight, however, is the title track, a bounty of bad advice in the style of electro-pop pioneers Devo. Yankovic also lampoons Elvis and cheesy sci-fi flicks before winding down with a relentlessly perky polka pastiche of a dozen pop hits.
