This review is from: You Can't Handle The Annoying Music Show CD With Jim Nayder And A Forward By Suze Orman! (Audio CD)

I am a longtime fan of "The Annoying Music Show" and eagerly anticipated this release. I teetered between a four and five star rating for the CD because while it is annoying enough to qualify for five stars, it was slightly less annoying than previous collections of annoying music.

I was quite impressed by Sid Vicious' version of "My Way," the peculiar Finnish version of "Beds are Burning" by Elakelaiset, and the extremely amusing version of "In the Ghetto" by Swedish Elvis impersonator, Eilert Pilarm (who neither looks nor sounds in any way like Elvis). As impressive as these tracks are, though, my favorite track was "Bacteria," apparently a training song from Kentucky Fried Chicken; it is appropriately followed with the delightful "I Want to Vomit On You" by The Bird Flu Boys. This dynamic duo of song packs a wallop.

Less sublime, though still worthy of your attention is "The Glaucoma Hymn" by the Glaucoma Medical Symposia (!) and a truly stunning composition called "The Snow Creature" that is a study in rhythm impairment.

On the negative side, there are some songs that aren't merely annoying, but are insufferable. Far and away the least endurable song on the CD (possibly the hardest song to listen to that I have ever heard) is "Over the Rainbow," a song that never, ever needed to be remade, and especially not by somebody named "Young Rick." I also found the two Beatles covers on the CD to be sub par and boring, while the cover of "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town" by Walter Brennan was unnecessary and irritating (though nowhere near as irritating as "Surrey With the Fringe On Top" by Marlene Dietrich).

In a final column (that I simply label "Why?") in the accounting of this CD is "Too Much Tissue," the only song I have ever heard that specifically concerns the subject of post nasal drip. Enough said.

While I didn't enjoy all of the music, I did enjoy the humorous introduction by Suze Orman, and some of the other interjections from Jim Nayder and Ken Nordine. For people entertained by comically bad music, this is a golden disc, and I recommend it and others in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Oh, but I CAN handle it..., January 17, 2008

This review is from: You Can't Handle The Annoying Music Show CD With Jim Nayder And A Forward By Suze Orman! (Audio CD)

This album is pretty good. I'm a longtime fan of The Annoying Music Show [here-on referred to as TAMS, for some reason], and that appears to be the only kind of fan of TAMS there is. I own all the previous albums. This one's a little weirder. Mr. Nayder, apparently trying to make good on his promise of you not being able to handle it, has added even more ba- I mean, annoying, music this time around. I'm always surprised by the number of songs I actually enjoy on these albums, but this is really for the Hardcore only.
"Bacteria" is funny, and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" will have you in stitches. But this album lacks replay value, unlike other TAMS albums. I hate to classify this as a "Novelty Album-" that's a great insult to Nayder and his work, but this lacks the certain oomph the others had. Hence the degradation to 4 stars.
Still, if you think you can make it until you hear Ken Nordine at the end, you're in for a true test of endurance. Good luck, you'll need it.

is how I describe my relationship with this compilation series. If you've got a sadistic bent, they're always great choices for parties and/or unsuspecting guests, and I am so looking forward to hearing a higher-fidelity version Young Rick's "Over The Rainbow." I first heard Jim Nayder play this for Scott Simon on NPR's Weekend Edition, and Scott Simon nearly died (laughing?). Keep away from easy-shatter glass.
