They get out of time with each other. That's the joke. (2) A parody of Randy Newman's novelty hit "Short People," which tells why short people have MORE reason to live, not NO reason. It's a parody of a novelty song. Kinda like if I recorded a hilarious parody of "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Eat It," entitled "Heat It." (3) This one starts okay, but goes downhill and stays there. It's a soul singer onstage doing lots of smooth, sexy stage banter, getting ready to sing a love song. Then his pants split. Not once, but TWICE. Ha. (4) A parody of Bob Marley's "I Shot The Sheriff," with new lyrics revolving around drug use. Almost astoundingly unfunny. (5) The Beatles' "Let It Be" sung in a Chipmunk voice. Why? (6) This is the only good song on the album, in my opinion. It's a sexy disco song with all these sex grunt noises all the way through it. At the end, suddenly it is revealed that they weren't sex noises - they were the sounds of a doctor helping a woman give birth. Ha! Okay, it's no Mort Sahl, but it's sure better than the rest of this shit. And you can dance to it! (7) "Sixteen Tons." If there's a joke in this cover, I can't find it. (8) I don't even think I get this one. It's a bouncy keyboard cover of "Wild Thing" with Chevy singing in a quivery, crying voice. It must be some early 80s thing, like sado-masochism or something. NOT FUNNY EVEN A LITTLE BIT. (9) A parody of "Rapper's Delight," in which an unsuspecting couple enter a disco and have their wallets stolen. EVERY BIT AS HILARIOUS AS ITSOUNDS!!!!!! So what is your hypothesis? Why does this record exist? Here's the only answer I can come up with: CHEVY CHASE NEEDED COKE MONEY AND FAST.[/quote]
