Even Worse by "Weird Al" Yankovic

"Good Old Days"

From the album "Even Worse"

File Under: Style Parody of James Taylor

Best lyrics:

"I can still remember good old Mr. Fender
Who ran the corner grocery store
Oh, he'd stroll down the aisle with a big friendly smile
And he'd say, "Howdy", when you walked in the door

Always treated me nice, gave me kindly advice
I don't know why I set fire to his place
Oh, I'll never forget the day, I bashed in his head
Well you should've seen the look on his face"

Well, that tells you all that you need to know about this song. It's a sweet-sounding acoustic ballad with darkly-juxtaposed lyrics. It's hilarious, and I love it.

Song Rating: A-

Tiny desk concert anyone?

Closed that album rather quick now, didnt' I?

I had previously said that it's one of my favorites, which it definitely is, but I realized that half the songs are A's and the other half is B- and below. I guess it still makes out to a B+, but I can't quite give it an A. That'll be reserved for the next album, and maybe one down the road...

Album Rating: B+
