Good Enough For Now is the song I am going to play at my wedding, and Don't Wear Those Shoes is one of the most overlooked and underrated songs in his catalog.<br /><br />Dog Eat Dog has to be seen live to really appreciate. It's Talking Heads Stop Making Sense VISUAL mocking, but it completes the effect perfectly.<br /><br />The real problem with this album, as you stated, was that most of the parodies were from films that would be completely forgettable a year later. Toothless People is probably my least favorite published Weird Al song ever. Being forced to rush the album out, I think Al just jumped on what was popular that week and went with it, which is why it might not be such a bad thing that he takes his time with new albums now.<br /><br />BTW, Christmas At Ground Zero was the first Weird Al song I ever heard.richegreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01896168791793282318noreply@blogger.com
