 (15 Customer Reviews)
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.

Funny
White & Nerdy is my new favorite song. This probably one of Al's best CD's.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Could Have Been Better...
Don't get me wrong, I love Weird Al and all of his songs (my favorites are white and nerdy and amish paradise) but this CD didn't have the type of songs I was hoping for. I only really bought this CD for White and Nerdy, Trapped in the Drive Thru, and Do I Creep you out. I hope my review was helpful.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Awsome
I've heard a few weird al songs and seen a few of his videos but this is the first cd I bought by him and it was just awsome! Confessions Part 3 is one of the best, along with White and Nerdy. A great buy

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Good album, bad dual disc design
This album features some songs that rank up there with Al's best. A couple seem don't quite live up. 4 stars for the music. What bufoon decided on the content of the dual-disc? I don't want animated cartoons! I want real videos. I'd chuck 'em all for white and nerdy. And why is the "high-res" stereo mix only in 16 bit 48k? No wonder this dual-disc format is failing along with SACD and DVD-A. I guess they think Weird Al fans don't appreciate high resolution audio. Yet they think we need a surround sound version. I sure don't need stupid cartoons.

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") ...

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" ...

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 ...
