As good as Wierd Al and Bob Rivers, if not better. CD Baby service was quick and reliable. Would not hesitate to order through them again. I especially liked their shipping notification eMails.

The second CD, after Pork Side Of The Moon, released by novelty band Cab City Combo, in the tradition of Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band and Frank Zappa, who are both featured on the Sgt Pepper parody sleeve of this disc, as are Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, Rolf Harris, Weird Al Yankovic, Michael Nesmith, Dr. Demento, a.o. They don’t just discuss (by way of singing and talking) music and music business, the songs are performed in various musical styles as well. Besides original songs, parodies are included of Ghostriders In The Sky, John Barleycorn Must Die (incorporating the Peter Gunn Theme) and the Beatles’ Bungalow Bill, retitled as Bungalow Bill Ad Nauseam. Of the latter’s original lyrics, only the title and the line ‘what did you kill’ are remained intact. For the rest, the new lyrics, written by vocalist Paul Rubin, tell us why they can’t get the melody out of their head. Banned By The Man says they’ve ‘violated Beatles copyright’ and states that a novelty band’s parody doesn’t devaluate the original song, but usually makes you go and buy that original one as well. In the new version of Peter And The Wolf, the (new) characters are presented and played as musical styles (punk, surf, reggae, death metal, the ‘sort-of-psychedelic-Hendrix-influenced-acid-rock-fusion’ and the burrito played as the Champs’ Tequila tune). To complete it all nicely for us, Beatles fans, the backsleeve shows a parody of the Abbey Road cover, with a chalk drawing of someone who’s been run over by a car.
