COMPILATION

Sure, he can be corny, but when "Weird Al" Yankovic hits the target, he can also be one pointed satirist. Greatest Hits Volume II gathers such rib-ticklers as "Headline News" (Tanya Harding meets the Crash Test Dummies), "Jurassic Park" (to the tune of "MacArthur Park"), and "Smells Like Nirvana." ~ Roch Parisien
