RussTCB Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Not sure if anyone else is a fan, but I grew up on the guy. I always look forward to a new album and I'm loving Mandatory Fun. Word Crimes is hands down my favorite on it, but all the other parodies are great as usual. He's releasing a video per day for the next 8 days, starting today. The first video is for a parody of Happy by Pharrell called Tacky.

luciusfunk Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I loved Straight Outta Lynwood and of course his classics, but I didn't care for Alpocalypse. I'm hoping this one is better. I'm still hoping he'll eventually do The Weird ALbum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Straight Outta Lynnwood is one of only a a handful of albums I've ever purchased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 My favorites are White and Nerdy, Eat it and, if I recall correctly, It's a Complicated Song (parody of Avril Lavigne's Complicated). Will give his albums a listen on Spotify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luciusfunk Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Word Crimes is possibly his best since White and Nerdy. Foil is pretty good, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR DOOM Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Word Crimes is amazing.Just heard this one and it most certainly is I've never bought any of his albums, but I bought the obligatory Eat It and FAT singles back in the day and have a DVD of his film clips.edit: also "Dare To Be Stupid" from the Transformers Movie Soundtrack Edited July 17, 2014 by DR DOOM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I might have already mentioned this earlier in the thread, but Straight Outta Lynnwood is one of the 3 or 4 albums I've legally purchased in my entire life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
