Album Notes & Community Reviews

Arriving at the height of the MTV era, the comedic musician returned with a direct visual and musical spoof of Michael Jackson's 'Bad' for the lead single. The record masterfully blends highly accurate musical pastiches with absurdist, food-obsessed lyricism. The accompanying music video for 'Fat' became a massive cultural phenomenon and won a Grammy Award for Best Concept Music Video.
