"Weird Al" Yankovic - Weird Al Yankovic - Greatest Hits, Volume 2

Wierd Al Yankovic

This is my favorite of his albums because every one of his songs on this one is funny and a remake of a song most people should recognize. I recomend it to everybody. February 26, 2008

Weird Al Is ...

Like a Harley Motorcycle, if I need to explain Weird Al, you'll never understand.

He spares no gendre, and levies parody and satire with harmony and rhythm on all targets of opportunity.

Since I dislike some of the things he "re-invents", some results are disinteresting to me. Overall, I consider him money and time well spent.

The Perfect Greatest Hits Set!

This is exactly what I was looking for. I have the Weird Al Ultimate Video Collection and after watching most of the videos, I instantly knew that I must have "Headline News," "Smells Like Nirvana," "UHF" and "Christmas at Ground Zero" on cd! This has all of them AND MORE!!! So don't spend tons of cash on the other albums when you can have almost all of the best from the early ninetys right here on one disc. BUY IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!

A couple of chuckles - but that's it

Weird Al's CDs don't usually get stocked in this part of the world, so I came to this on the basis of his reputation and having heard a couple of his better known songs. I was sorely disappointed.

First of all, Weird Al isn't really that funny. Sure, he's amusing in a sort of 'this is something the whole family can enjoy' sort of way, but he's not edgy and he doesn't take risks.

Furthermore, he doesn't even really bother with most of these songs. I don't know if this is meant to be a genuine 'greatest hits' or a hilarious parody of the greatest hits format, but I'm shocked if it is, because a lot of these 'songs' are mish-mashs and melodies, with very little in the way of coherence or humour to recommend them.

Anyone with a functioning sense of humour should look elsewhere. Perhaps there are better Weird Al albums, but I don't plan to waste any more money finding out.

Good Great Better then most

i think this is a great cd to get if u like weird al and u want something diffrent because i combineds some of his greatest hit in the 80 and 90 but if they just combined greatest hit 1 with 2 in stead of two it would be better then before because then u would hav fat, eat it and dare two be stupid and other great songs smells like nirvana, jurrasic park, christmas at ground zero, yoda polka ur eyes out, bedrock anthem and head line new aare all 5's and this is the life,Uhf,andachy breaky song are 4 in a half and everything else is a 4 ovarall i give it a 5 it is in his top3 cd's his best is running with sciccors and most of his old cd's r the best but his newwer cds r very good!!!!! but not as good as his older cd's i hope this reiwew help u and
