Weird Al Yankovic - The Essential Weird Al Yankovic

It sounded like a real good idea when we started it — two full discs and 38 songs of Weird Al — but let me tell ya, 38 songs worth of Weird Al when you're trying to work is a lot of Weird Al.

It ended up taking us a week to listen to this all the way through. Don't get us wrong, we still love Al around here. But our love is best doled out in occasional three minute doses to cleanse the palate of clap-happy gangsinging hipster bullshit, Nickelback radio rock aspirants, wuss-ass Coldplay wannabes and whatever crunk is.

It's actually possible to have too much Weird Al in your life.
