5.0 out of 5 stars Oh God please make it stop, April 8, 2003

You will laugh until you cry.

Fabio (yes, *THAT* Fabio) stumbles through breathy soliloquies on romance, over an über-schmaltzy soft-porn beat that does not change throughout the entire CD. As if you hadn't guessed, his musings delve deep into the uncharted realms of corniness. No, seriously. However corny you're imagining it to be right now, think cornier. Nope, cornier than that. Nope, keep going. Now you're getting close.

Fabio's vision of romance sounds like the, uh, shower fantasies of the naïve, overweight girl in high school that everyone threw food at in the cafeteria. Am I cruel for laughing at this? I hope not, because how can you NOT laugh at something like this excerpt from "Fabio on Films":

(don't forget the accent and the generic porn music, and the fact that Fabio takes a full minute and a half to luxuriously hamfist his way through these four sentences):

"I lahk to take a special lady to de cinema, where we can hold hands in the dark, and whisper very quietly about what we see. I wonder, would she kiss me like that? Will I always be the hero of her life? I wish there were more romantic films, because romantic films can lead to beautiful adventures ahfter we leef de theatre."

It's all such a ghastly car-accident of an album that it transcends into genius. It would make a great ironic gift for someone who appreciates that sort of thing.

1.0 out of 5 stars I hear a solo, and I theenk of a duet., December 7, 2001

This is positively the WORST record ever produced. The album hovers between soft-core porn and, well, let's just say I would try to stay out of the, um, "photo spread" in the booklet. It is probably the world's greatest mix-tape record, when used to horrify and bewilder your unfortunate subject. I myself like to play it at parties, where it is the source of much amusement to all attendees. Remember when Fabio got hit in the face with a bird on the rollercoaster? After suffering through this record, you will want to be the next in line. Instant classic.
