This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other. Weird Al Yankovic's STRAIGHT OUTTA LYNWOOD further assures his heavyweight title as the king of pop parody. Chamillionaire's "Ridin'Dirty" is spun ... Full Descriptioninto a self-conscious poke at race when it becomes "White and Nerdy," and the national boundaries of Green Day's "American Idiot" are shifted in "Canadian Idiot." Elsewhere, Weird Al takes on the Killers, Usher, and the Black Eyed Peas, but he also contributes several originals that display the same goofy, satirical edge as his comic revisions of the hits. Longtime fans of Weird Al's shtick will have plenty to enjoy, and the DualDisc version, which contains animation, karaoke versions, and a featurette, is icing on the cake.

Step into the zany brain of Weird Al as he serves up another eclectic bag of pasquinades and original tunes. Yankovic's spoofs remain true to the melody, and the lyrics flow well as he satirizes a potpourri of poppers from Coolio ("Amish Paradise") to TLC ("Phony Calls") to U2 ("Cavity Search," which urges, "Numb me/Drill me/Floss me/Bill ...

When this accordion-wielding parodist first came into the public eye with '80s mock-rock hits like "Another One Rides the Bus" and "My Bologna," few would have guessed he'd still be charting with his quirky brand of humor in 1999. Al's up to his old tricks with a vengeance here, using the melody of Don McLean's folk-rock epic "American Pie" to relate the tale of the PHANTOM MENACE installment in the STAR WARS series. He takes on hip-hop, too, turning "It's All About the Benjamins" into the computer ode "It's All About the Pentiums." The contemporaneous neo-swing craze is similarly skewered as "Zoot Suit Riot" becomes the nutrition-conscious "Grapefruit Diet." Al's capable of writing uproarious original ...

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 ...
