edlongus SUBS 31st May 2019		23skidoo, no comment on "The Mad Show" album?!? ☺



23skidoo 30th May 2019		@edlongus I have that one too. I heard that one a long time ago. Also the one where they spoofed classical music. I prefer Twists over Fink, but it has some great tracks, including the original version of It's a Gas. My all-time favourite of the Mad albums though is the Mad Disco flexi-disc album from 1980.



edlongus SUBS 20th May 2019		23skidoo, if u liked this album, please seek out the follow-up, "Fink Along With Mad"!! It's even better (in my opinion)!! The 2 "Mad" albums on Big Top are excellent rock n' roll parodies (and tend 2 be kinda pricey unfortunately when u find them on eBay...)



23skidoo 14th May 2019		Review I had a chance to hear this album for the first time recently and I have to say I was very impressed. Much like the much-later Mad Disco, the key to the album's success is, yes, it's a parody - but it's played straight. These songs are straight up rock n' roll and pop, and really just the lyrics give away the fact it's a spoof. And even then, it's hard to tell. For example, "My Johnny's Hub Cap", sung by Jeanne Hayes, is a legitimately haunting ballad where a girl mourns for her boyfriend after his death in a drag race. If you replaced the word "hub cap" with something a little less bizarre (say "ball cap"), you'd have a straightforward "teenage tragedy" ballad. Possibly the most fascinating track - when listened to in retrospect - is "Pretzel" which is a very funny spoof of dance crazes, describing a physically impossible move. It's performed in the style of Roy Head - the singer sounds very much like him - and those who have seen video of him perform know his style of dancing while performing songs like "Treat Her Right" could best be described as "Pretzel"-like! But here's the thing: this album came out in 1962 and Roy Head and "Treat Her Right" wouldn't come along for several more years! Did someone at Mad get hold of a time machine? 7 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
