What an excellent Al-bum! I have had it for about 5 years, and it is still one of my favorites. Look and see:

1. Amish Paradise: 5/5 Like "Pretty Fly for a Rabbi," Weird Al talks about religion and religious beliefs with comedy, not put-downs.
2. Everything You Know Is Wrong: 4/5 Gotta love it!
3. Cavity Search: 2/5 This song has an "overbite."
4. Calling in Sick: 4/5 Enjoyable
5. The Alternative Polka: 4/5 Ups and downs
6. Since You've Been Gone: 5/5 "I feel like chewing on tinfoil."
7. Gump: 5/5 Summarizes the whole tale of "Forrest Gump" in a few minutes. Remined me of "The Saga Begins."
8. I'm So Sick of You: 4/5 Funny, yet gross. "I don't know many females who have habits of biting their toenails."
9. Syndicated Inc. 2/5 I get it, it's just not funny.
10. I remember Larry: 5/5 Weird Al plays a psycho as he oftenly does.
11. Phone Calls: 5/5 The best part was the Moe-Bart "Simpsons" sound bite.
12. The Night Santa Went Crazy: 5/5 Like he so oftenly does, Al has saved the best for last.

So that's 50/60, but I'm giving it a 5 for its genious songs "Amish Paridise," "I Remember Larry," and "The Night Santa Went Crazy." I cannot wait for "Poodle Hat," which hits stores May 20th. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and feel free to leave me a helpful/not helpful feedback. God Bless America!

This is the only Weird Al CD I have, but I have heard others. This is the best one! Here is what I think of the tracks: Amish Paradise: Great parody of Amish folk and Gangsta Paradise! Everything You Know is Wrong: Very fast paced, but it seemed like it had too many lyrics in one line. Cavity Search: A painful song, but very true(cause all of my teeth have fillings!) I love the drilling sounds! Callin' in Sick: Very funny. Inspiration for rainy days. Alternative Polka: Good polka, but too many different songs on one track. Since You've Been Gone: Funny, and the ending will surprise you. Gump: Awsome parody of Lump AND Forrest Gump! I'm So Sick of You: If you can visualize this song, it is a scary piture! Syndicated Incorporated: Great tune! The "...MASH and All in the Family...the Munsters and Mayberry R.F.D..."line is my favorite line on the WHOLE CD! I Remember Larry: Like "Since You've Been Gone", the ending is funny. I don't blame him! Phony Calls: Exellent parody of Waterfalls! I love the Simpsons interlude in the middle. The Night Santa Went Crazy: A disturbing song, but EXTREMELY FUNNY! My Advice: Buy this CD!

The continuing second wind streak of Weird Al Yankovic continues with Bad Hair Day, and you'll have a good funny bone day listening to this album.

"Amish Paradise" is a send-up of Coolio's "Gangsta Paradise" and the lyrics are on Amish life and attitudes of hard work, devotion to the Bible, pacifism, churning butter, and selling quilts to a humorous twist: "But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine/then tonight we're gonna party like it's 1699." And on a boy who kicks him in the rear, he says "I just smiled at him and turned the other cheek/I really don't care, in fact I wish him well/'cause I'll be laughing my head off, when he's burning in hell." My head came off after that line. A great opener for the album.

"Everything You Know Is Wrong" is a crazy nonsense tune on weird happenings and dreams, such as being abducted into another dimension by Jamie Farr-like aliens. "Black is white, up is down, and short is long/and everything you thought was just so important doesn't matter." Very Marx Brothers chaotic.

No, "Cavity Song" is not about those airport searches by customs inspectors or cops. This parody of U2's "Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me". It's Al's observations at a dentists, with the outdated magazines, and dental treatment. However, the piercing sound of the dental drill is a bit disconcerting, send-up or not. And why not use "Numb me, drill me, floss me, bill me" for a title instead of "Cavity Search?" Oh well.

"Callin' In Sick" is a Nirvana-type song, kind of like "Lithium", and on the different things we can do by calling in sick and having that needed day off. "I could sit all day in my underwear watching 'Ernest Goes To Camp'/I could sit and count my hair/I could burp my Tupperware" Yeah, really useful.

"The Alternative Polka" shows that Al is still up on the music shift that took place in the mid-90's, when alternative became the new style. Song medley list: Beck's "Loser", Stone Temple Pilots' "Sex Type Thing", Sheryl Crow's "All I Wanna Do", Nine Inch Nails' "Closer", R.E.M.'s "Bang And Blame", Alanis Morrisette's "You Oughta Know", Smashing Pumpkins' "Bullet On Butterfly Wings", Red Hot Chili Peppers' "My Friends", Foo Fighter's "I'll Stick Around", Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun", and Green Day's "Basket Case."

"Since You've Been Gone" is a doowop song describing how one feels when a loved one's gone, "It's like I've got a great big mouthful of cod liver oil" or "an ice cream headache that won't go away." And there is a punchline to this song.

"Lump" by the Presidents of the United States of America is turned into "Gump", about that guy and his boxful of chocolates, you know that guy who "told JFK he had to p--" and who "went to the White House and showed LBJ his b-tt."
"I'm So Sick Of You" is a list of irritating things that really get on one's nerves. The girl here is someone with no class, manners, hygiene, someone so low on the food chain. Someone who snores when they're wide awake, bites their toenails, and uses a guy's razor to shave their back hair? Al, quick, DUMP HER NOW!

The TV junkie song "Syndicated Inc." based on Soul Asylum's "Misery" shows Al hasn't lost his TV songs touch.

"I Remember Larry" is a song about the title character, someone who did all sorts of bad stuff to Al, like putting Ben Gay in his jockstrap, giving him Ex-lax brownies, dumped toxic waste on his lawn. Well, Al gets even with him in a cruel but well-deserved way-in fact that's what I'd do--if I was in a nice mood.

"Don't go makin' phony calls/please stick to the seven-digit numbers you're used to" go the chorus of "Phony Calls", based on TLC's "Waterfalls" on a prank phone caller. He uses a clip from the Simpsons, where Bart asks for "Mike Rotch." and the bartender asks for...

"Like a big fat drunk disgruntled Yuletide Rambo/And he smiled as he said with a twinkle in his eye, 'Merry Christmas to all..now you're all gonna die!" "The Night Santa Went Crazy" is a Soul Asylum-type ballad about Santa having snapped, going postal and taking it out on the reindeer: "And he ground up poor Rudolph into reindeer sausage/He got Dancer and Prancer with an old German Luger/and he slashed up Dasher just like Freddie Krueger." The funniest Christmas song since "Christmas At Ground Zero."

Probably my third favourite Weird Al album, after Dare To Be Stupid and Off The Deep End.

In my opinion, this is probably one of Weird Al's best. I've had it for about a year and still cracks me up. Amish Paradise: One of his best parodies. The first time you hear it, tears will be streaming from laughing so hard. Everything You Know is Wrong: My second favorite song on here. Great lyrics, great beat, and really fast. Cavity Search: In my opinion the worst song on the CD. It's kinda funny, but the drilling sounds give you a headache. Callin' in Sick: I could do without it, but it's okay to listen to, nice beat. Alternative Polka: Funny polka. Not his best, but many great parodies put into it. Since You've Been Gone: Great! Really short, but it has a great surprise ending. Gump: A classic. Nice parody using the characters from Forrest Gump. I'm So Sick of You: Very funny. A lot of guys could probably relate by having a girlfriend who drived them nuts. Syndicated, Inc.: Not really funny, but the nice slow beat leaves it one to listen to. I Remember Larry: Very creative, and another one of my favorites about an annoying kid. Phony Calls: Great parody of Waterfalls that you can relate to ever being a victim to a stupid crank call. The Night Santa Went Crazy: My favorite song on this CD! I laugh everytime I hear it, because I could just see Santa going off his rocker. Great way to end a great CD.

All the song on this album rule.I think that all his albums are good and you should buy this funny as hell album bad hair day.
