Al gave the pastiche treatment to not one but TWO of my all-time favorite bands on his 1988 album Even Worse. "You Make Me" positively reeks of Oingo Boingo, while "Velvet Elvis" pays props to the Police.
Hey, when I said that he had stylized a sheetload of my favorite groups, I wasn't kidding. When I get done, I'm gonna add up the number of blog posts I've made from such bands. It'll be staggering.
UPDATE: Oh, I almost forgot - I wanna give a shout out to my alma mater the Fresno State Bulldogs for shocking the world and winning the college baseball national championship. Yeah! Who let the dogs out?? NOBODY!! I HATE THAT GODDAMN SONG!!!
