adam sandler is a very funny commedian. His movies are hilarious and his album, "they're Gonna Laugh at You is one of the funniest things I've ever heard in my life. "What's Your Name", however, is just not funny. I think sandler has always wanted to be a musician and he tries to be one on this album moreso than a commedian. "the Lonesome Kicker" is kind of funny and 'The Goat song" is absolutely hilarious, but the rest of the album is just plain boring. It's not funny and the songs aren't good enough musically to listen to despite the lack of humor. When Sandler does skits no one can touch him in the funny department and when he mixes one or two songs in with the skits they work very well, but I'm sorry, he's just not good enough a musician to make a cd with nothing, but songs on it, especially when the words aren't funny.

After watching Adam Sandler's parodies on SNL and his singing abiltiy on the Wedding Singer,I took a punt on WHAT'S YOUR NAME? and boy,am I glad I did!Sandler takes apart certain rock singers/bands with skill that would make a surgeon envious.He spears Bruce Springsteen(LONESOME KICKER,LISTEN' TO THE RADIO),Aerosmith(SWEET BEATRICE)and Guns'N'Roses(CORDUROY BLUES).Sacred cow music styles recieve a bashing as well:country(ZITTLY VAN ZITTLES),heavy metal(BAD BOYFRIEND),funk(DANCIN' AND PANTSIN',MOYDA),and reggae(VOODOO).THE GOAT SONG is an epic that almost defies analyses;let's just say that it sets back the animal rights movement back twenty years and makes me scream with laughter every time I hear it.THE RESPECT CHANT is just that . . . and damn proud of it!WHAT'S YOUR NAME? is the first fully song laden album by Adam Sandler and if he keeps on producing material like this,Weird Al should start looking over his shoulder.All together now . . ."I am a simple goat" . . .

This is a cd you can listen to over and over again! Even if you get new cds. You'll keep coming back to this one! Its so funny its just good! I dont think you should listen to #3 if you dont like the f word but thats just too bad because its really funny. But the goat song is the best.

So hear me now and believe me later. BUY THIS CD

I loved this CD its really great my fav song is "The Goat Song" if my mom knew I had it well she'd be mad but oh well thats her problem. This CD is so wonderful its now the only thing I listen to out of all my CDs. I think you should buy this CD weather you want to or not! I can do a good imprersonation of Adam. But you cant hear it sorry. Oh well BUY THIS CD. Then thank me for making you buy it. :-)

What makes this recording superior to others of its ilk (i.e. Al Yankovic) is Sandler's musicianship coupled with his originality. He handles several musical genres, including heavy metal, blues, and reggae with ease, and his Springsteen influenced "The Lonesome Kicker" is right on. The real question though is who else but Adam Sandler is insane enough to write a song about a field goal kicker from Europe, or a song about a sweatshirt? My personal favorite is "Voodoo", in which he synthesizes all elements perfectly, lyrics, music, and parody. Other favorites include "The Lonesome Kicker", "Bad Boyfriend", "Pickin' Daisies", "Corduroy Blues", and the Queen-like opera rock epic "The Goat Song". All in all, a hell of a lot of fun from an insane genius. Spending 45 minutes with this cd/cassette is guaranteed laugh therapy!
