Not Just a Genius in France

Just picked up the new Weird Al Yankovic album. Great stuff, and I'm not just saying that because "Party at the Leper Colony" has one of the most disgusting and groan-worthy puns I've ever heard and I want to spread the misery around, either. I mean, how can you not worship at the feet of a man capable of writing a song composed entirely of palindromes?

I gotta say, though, it's a rather sad measure of how out of touch I am with the current musical mainstream that I no longer recognize the majority of the songs he's parodying. Still, it is oddly comforting to know that, no matter how much the world changes, and no matter how much musical tastes might alter, Weird Al will always be around, making fun of television.
