5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious compilation of dinner table (or not) songs, February 18, 2004

By	Tom Benton (North Springfield, VT USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

"Weird Al" Yankovic's THE FOOD ALBUM isn't so much a new album as just a compilation of earlier songs relating to food. It's hilarious, gross, outrageous - true Al.

The album opens with "Fat" (an outrageous spoof of Michael Jackson's "Bad), then goes on to "Lasagna" (spoof of "La Bamba") - which is pretty funny, as Al sings about the value of Italian food. There's also "The White Stuff" detailing the joy of cookie filling, "The Rye or the Kaiser (Theme from Rocky XIII)" telling what happened after the last one, and tons of other hilarious songs. Of course, there's also "Eat It" (another Jackson spoof - "Beat It"), which is very funny as well.

What can I say? "Weird Al" is a comedic genius and never fails to make me laugh. "The Food Album" is perfect for beginning Al fans, but die-hard fans will no doubt already have most of the songs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Compilation, January 8, 2000

By	Adam Shuler (Arizona) - See all my reviews

Food is one of Al's favorite subjects to sing about, and there are some classics here. Eat It is one of the best. My Bologna was his first hit and it's still a great tune. Other good songs include Fat, The White Stuff, I Love Rocky Road, and The Rye or the Kaiser

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS THE BEST, October 12, 1999

By	~*EXTREME WEIRDAL FAN*~ - See all my reviews

This album is the best. Sure, spam, rocky road, addicted 2 spuds and the white stuff are ok. Fat and eat it are good. Bologna, Lasagna, taco, and rye or kaiser are DA BOMB. This is the ultimate weird al album and everyone should have it in their collection.
