 side splittingly funny September 30, 2007
weird Al is so original and fresh. And this album certainly maintains that tradition. Of note is his parody of Avril Lavignes's complicated, you'll be rolling in the aisle. Also worthy of note, is Al's very own 'party at the leper colony' and 'ode to a superhero'
he is as fresh and orginal as he is funny, keep em coming Al.
 A great album May 13, 2007

Ignore Alec, he is just pasting that into every weird al-bum. This album is great, as most of these songs are classics.
Couch potato - 9/10 - Brilliant lyrical adaptation here, set to a great song.
Hardware store - 10/10 - If only there was an 11/10... An AMAZING tune, with an unmissable 100mph bridge, just when you thought the song couldnt get any faster!
Trash day - 7/10 - In my opinion, this is better than the original by far, but then again, the original song wasnt fantastic...
Party at the Leper Colony - 5/10- A little repeatitive (is that how you spell it?) but good, if gross lyrics. A feel-good tune overall.
Angry white boy Polka - 9/10 - The polkas are always great. You have no sense of fun if you hate the polkas.
Wanna b ur lovr - 8/10 - Funny lyrics, good tune.
A complicated song - 10/10 - I certainly couldnt have found so many rhymes for 'Complicated'... A hilarious song, if a *little* disgusting.
Why does this always happen to me? - 10/10 - Brilliant song, Brilliant tune, Hilarious lyrics. Can anyone BE so selfish?
Ode to a superhero - 8/10 - Spiderman in 5 mins. To the tune of 'piano man'. Need more be said?
Bob - 7/10 - You have to 'figure it out' to see whats so great about this...
eBay - 9/10 - Great song.
Genius in France - 10/10 - I think this song is genius. Changes speed & rhythm every few seconds.

Weird Al Yankovic never fails to tickle my laugh. This album is great. I love his wacky voice. My advice would be to take no notice of Alec, as most of you most probably are already doing, and give this album a try.
FYI Alec, his face is great :]
 Terrible. October 18, 2006

Wierd Al Yankovic is about as funny as finding out a relative has died. Simply changing certain words to songs and making stupid faces in videos is not witty. I hate him and everything he stands for. My ex-friend played this album excessively thinking it was funny. We no longer speak after i threatened to eviscerate him. Don't buy this, for humours's sake.
Very Funny - Deserving Of UK Recognition August 23, 2006
Listening to Poodle Hat's family-friendly, not in-your-face but still very funny musical parodies and style parodies, it's hard to believe that Weird Al Yankovic started out recording parodies in a high school bathroom somewhere in California.
And his genius has not yet expired, with Poodle Hat his latest album and another to be released soon, this CD really shows that the comedy has not breathed its last, the accordion still plays with as much excitement as on earlier albums like Dare To Be Stupid or the ever-popular Food Album.
Every song is performed with the same care and attention that went into writing it. Al still sounds like an over-excited teenager, and enthusiastically provides accordion for songs like Angry White Boy Polka (a medley of rock songs done polka-style). Couch Potato is a brilliant song, and is the first. It reflects on the division of society that stay home and watch TV to a mind-numbing extent but it still manages to be hilariously funny! And what's more is that the performance as rapper by Al is done just as passionately as Eminem's original performance with the original lyrics. A side-splitting song also is an original by Al (a style parody) called Wanna B Ur Lovr. It incorporates all the useless chat-up lines that never work... and make Al sound provocative, pathetic and funny all at once! There is nothing not to like on this album - everything is just as crazy and lovable as the man whose name is on the album, who appears on the album cover, who started out as a teenager sending in cassettes to Dr Demento and finally got airtime on US radio. And simply, what must be done is - you must buy this album. It would, no, WILL make the very foundations of your house laugh.
