Greatest Comedy Hits [Explicit Lyrics] [Live]

Amazon.com
Even though he's suffered through some bad scripts and an ill-advised singing career and been eclipsed by a younger generation of black comics (like Martin Lawrence and Chris Rock), Eddie Murphy remains one of the most important--and funniest--standups to come along since Richard Pryor. This album reminds you why. At his best, Murphy is wonderfully inventive and accessible. There are some excellent old bits here: "Drinking Fathers," "Ice Cream Man"--plus some rare, unreleased routines from Murphy's New York nightclub days. This CD is an excellent addition to any collection; Murphy's impression of James Brown is worth the price alone, as are lines like, "What the f*** does 'gooney-goo-goo' mean?... Gus, your wife is a Bigfoot!" -- Michael Gerber

Roger Brought Back.......2007-07-18

What fun it is to listen to Roger Miller again. His CD brings back so many wonderful memories. I'm glad I bought it!

All Time Greatest Hits: Roger Miller.......2007-06-11

Music preview helped sell the product, fast delivery and condition just as described. Great doing business A++

Great Songs, Just As You Remember Them!.......2007-05-30

I remember my father listening to Roger Miller when I was 6 or 7 years old. He had a small reel to reel tape that we took to the beach with us. It was the kind where you had to feed the tape onto the empty reel, and then rewind it when it was done. I know, dinosaur technology, but I have fond memories of those days.

This album of Roger Miller's best songs sound as great today as they did back in the 1960s. I've had "King of the Road" stuck in my head for days, thanks to this album. I also love the aw-shucks sound of "Dang Me", "Chug A Lug" and "Do Wacka Do". My kids loved listening to "You Can't Roller Skate In a Buffalo Herd" until I actually refused to play it again.

Not all Miller's songs are funny or nonsensical, though. He sings about heartbreak and true love in "In the Summertime" and "Little Green Apples". He also does an impressive version of "Me and Bobby McGee".

In all, there are 20 classic Roger Miller songs on this album. There's also a great CD insert telling about Miller's life and his untimely death from throat cancer. I was surprised to read that Miller wrote most of his own songs, and that he was a gifted fiddle player and guitarist. So take a walk down memory lane - anyone who grew up in the 60s will remember these songs! And it's great that his albums can entertain another generation.

Roger Miller.......2007-05-19

This album is better than I remembered. I was not a country western fan in the late 70s and 80s, but I did have a Roger Miller album than used to get into the mix now and then. I remember liking it more than I expected so I ordered a new copy recently and was surprised at how much more I enjoy it now.

Good clean fun.......2007-06-04

I love Jerry Clowers. So many of his stories remind me of the things my dad says he and his brother did when they were kids. If you're looking for something the whole family can enjoy, I recommend Mr. Clower. "The She-Coon of Women's Lib" is particularly funny.

The best of the mouth of the south.......2007-02-03

If you want real family entertainment that even the kids can listen to, this is what you want. Jerry Clower uses funny not profanity to entertain. His characters are people, not made up imaginary characters. They live in his stories and if you close your eyes you can almost see them. He is the southern counterpart to Bill Cosby.

Funny.......2007-01-19

I bought this item for myself. Jerry Clower is classic funny. You dont have to be Southern to understand the humor. It is good for the whole family. No bad language and no sex in his act. I have listened to this CD many times and I still laugh.

great clean fun!.......2007-01-18

Favorite topics on this collection of Weird Al classics include food and medical problems. Superstar Michael Jackson gets sent up twice: "Bad" is transformed into "Fat" and "Beat It" becomes "Eat It," a hit in its own right. Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" is turned into a paean to potatoes, "Addicted to Spuds." And Los Lobos' version of the durable "La Bamba" is reconfigured into "Lasagna." Madonna's "Like a Virgin" becomes a song about a different kind of beginner on "Like a Surgeon," while James Brown's "Living in America" is parodied on "Living with a Hernia." If you want to take a funhouse mirror trip back to the 1980s, Greatest Hits is a good way to do it. Produced by rock & roll veteran Rick Derringer, who rocked out with Johnny and Edgar Winter and produced Meatloaf and Kiss. --Fred Cisterna

Weird Al Fans "MUST HAVE!".......2007-03-31

This CD brought back some awesome memories of the 80's, freinds and I laughed as we listened to it, and my kids even loved it!!

Fun and laughter, tongue in cheek.......2007-01-14

Your typical Weird Al...
Well, what can I say? I love to have a couple of funny CDs in my car, when I plan on a longer road trip. It helps me stay awake, to listen to some really fun-poking songs in between...
It is unpretentious and hilarious... for the price, you can't go wrong if you like a little musical chuckle or a good laugh from time to time...

"Awsome Al".......2006-08-31

I love Al and I have his "best" song raitings.

Fat 4.5/5 that guy has a hevey shado. I like that.
Eat It 5/5 that kid has a parent that has a black hole for a stomeck.
Like a Surgeon 3/5 he is not in the right medical airya.
Ricky 6/5 talk about a double mid-life crisis.
Addicted to Spuds 5/5 sounds like Edwardo.
Living with a Hernia 4/5 OWCH!
Dare to be Stupid 7/5 I lafed till I ran out of breth.
Lasagna 7/5 I couldent stop lafing.
I Lost on Jeopardy 0/5 WHO PUT THAT STINKER ON THERE?!
One More Minute 4/5 what did she do to him?

One last thing, where is Slime Crechers from Outer Space, his best song?

A good master of parody pop.......2005-07-15

I still think that Weird Al Yankovic did the best parody of a Michael Jackson song in Eat It, his take of Michael's own Beat It. Although it's 58 seconds shorter than Beat It's 4:17, it has quite a lot of energy for it's 3:19. It has that garage rock feel going for it. It has been his most recognizable song because of the Michael Jackson familarity and it came when Thriller was still red hot one year later. Yankovic has had a strong several years of doing parodies of some of the most overplayed pop songs that some people get tired of hearing 4,158 times on the radio. And in most cases, he's quite good. His humor is so on point on all of them. Even in the current low-carb, watch-what-we-eat world of 2005, Eat It from 1983 really fits well in today's times. The rest of the songs are fun and catchy too. He still includes accordion in most songs. And Yankovic's albums have gone gold every time, proving that some people still like his parody pop. This compilation demonstrates what he does best.

Weird Al is not losing it!.......2005-01-01

I've read all over in reviews that say that Weird Al is just not as good as he used to be! I disagree! My friend got me into him and some of his songs I like, for instants: "Amish Paradise", "Lasagna", "Eat It", "The Complicated Song", and "The Day Santa Went Crazy"! Others- I just don't care for! Personally, I think know that we're in the 21st century, and people are listening to a lot more crude music, this is the guy to write a song, funnier and cooler with that parody! I'm not a big music fan, but I can tell you one thing- I'd pick Weird Al, over Simple Plan or anyother hot bands out!

Confused until recently.......2007-06-20

I had always thought he was saying "my girl Bill" like "my dog Spot" or "my brother John;" confusing despite the fact that "Bill" is a highly unlikely feminine name.

I get it now. He's not saying "My girl's name is Bill" but "Bill, that girl is mine." Glad to have cleared that up.

Jim Stafford Karaoke.......2004-12-25

This CD says Original Recordings on the front but, while they may be original recordings based on whatever that means from a legal standpoint, these are not the original hits! I guess that by Original Recordings, they mean that he went back into the studio and recorded them new for this CD, rather than them re-releasing the original hits. A play on words designed to suck you in...And suck me in, it did.

His voice has lost all its range; the songs are slower and lack the character of the original hits. When I listened to My Girl Bill, instead of smiling or laughing as I did years ago listening to it, I couldn't wait for it to be over! Cow Patti was almost as bad, and I Don't Like Spiders and Snakes was so dry and boring to listen to that I skipped past it before the song ended.

It is a shame that his producers, or whomever it is that owns the original rights, chose to remake the songs rather than release the original hits. Perhaps the real originals just don't exist anymore. Too bad.

The bottom line is, if you want to listen to the Jim Stafford you enjoyed in the 70's, don't buy this CD. You'll be disappointed.

This is a collection of some of Ray Stevens' novelty hits, but by no means complete. It contains some huge hits like The Streak from 1974 and Bridget the Midget from 1971, plus much older tracks from the 1960s like Gitarzan and Ahab the Arab. Fact is, he recorded plenty more comedy tracks that are available on the album 20 Comedy Hits Special Collection. Great compilations of his beautiful ballads, straight pop and novelty songs include Ray Stevens - All-Time Greatest Hits and Misty: The Very Best of Ray Stevens.

Ray Stevens - Greatest Comic Hits.......2005-08-11

I enjoyed this CD very much. Ray is a very funny fellow.
I have also seen and enjoyed his video of the same name.

Ray's first for CURB.......2003-02-05

this was the first CD that was released on Ray from CURB Records, the label he joined after he left MCA after five huge years (1984-1989). this CD spotlights 10 comedy songs with the album cover shot looking like a promo for one of the songs, "It's Me Again, Margaret". all in all, this CD went GOLD primarily because of the last track: "Bridget the Midget", a 1970 satire on go-go dancers that hit #50 pop and #2 in England. in the CD age, "Bridget the Midget" was new to collector's. for fans who joined the Ray Stevens bandwagon in 1984 at the height of "Mississippi Squirrel", hearing older songs were a rare treat. this is the CD in which introduced me to "Bridget..." and it made me hunger for more of his older songs because the way i saw it, if a song of his is this great and i've never heard of it talked about before, i wonder how many OTHER great songs are hidden on his albums that critics or reporters don't talk about? i played my hunch and as of 2/5/03 i have everything he's recorded since 1967 on vinyl or cassette format.this 1990 CD is only necessary for new fans. CURB shrewdly compiled six comedy songs off 1987's "GREATEST HITS", added three from 1987's "GREATEST HITS, VOL. TWO", and they end it with 1970's "Bridget the Midget" not found on any CD compilation at the time as an added feature. prior to it's arrival on CD format, you had to go all the way back to a 1977 vinyl compilation entitled "THE MANY SIDES OF RAY STEVENS" to even find "Bridget the Midget" on an album! the song was THAT rare! since 1990, other CD's on Ray have greatly dwarfed this CD's importance but it's still worth checking out for those who want to complete your collection.

Weird Al Is ..........2007-07-11

Like a Harley Motorcycle, if I need to explain Weird Al, you'll never understand.

He spares no gendre, and levies parody and satire with harmony and rhythm on all targets of opportunity.

Since I dislike some of the things he "re-invents", some results are disinteresting to me. Overall, I consider him money and time well spent.

Mock on!

The Perfect Greatest Hits Set!.......2006-02-18

This is exactly what I was looking for. I have the Weird Al Ultimate Video Collection and after watching most of the videos, I instantly knew that I must have "Headline News," "Smells Like Nirvana," "UHF" and "Christmas at Ground Zero" on cd! This has all of them AND MORE!!! So don't spend tons of cash on the other albums when you can have almost all of the best from the early ninetys right here on one disc. BUY IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!

A couple of chuckles - but that's it.......2005-09-20

Weird Al's CDs don't usually get stocked in this part of the world, so I came to this on the basis of his reputation and having heard a couple of his better known songs. I was sorely disappointed.

First of all, Weird Al isn't really that funny. Sure, he's amusing in a sort of 'this is something the whole family can enjoy' sort of way, but he's not edgy and he doesn't take risks.

Furthermore, he doesn't even really bother with most of these songs. I don't know if this is meant to be a genuine 'greatest hits' or a hilarious parody of the greatest hits format, but I'm shocked if it is, because a lot of these 'songs' are mish-mashs and melodies, with very little in the way of coherence or humour to recommend them.

Anyone with a functioning sense of humour should look elsewhere. Perhaps there are better Weird Al albums, but I don't plan to waste any more money finding out.

(The two stars are for the two chuckles I got from this)

Good Great Better then most.......2003-09-03

i think this is a great cd to get if u like weird al and u want something diffrent because i combineds some of his greatest hit in the 80 and 90 but if they just combined greatest hit 1 with 2 in stead of two it would be better then before because then u would hav fat, eat it and dare two be stupid and other great songs smells like nirvana, jurrasic park, christmas at ground zero, yoda polka ur eyes out, bedrock anthem and head line new aare all 5's and this is the life,Uhf,andachy breaky song are 4 in a half and everything else is a 4 ovarall i give it a 5 it is in his top3 cd's his best is running with sciccors and most of his old cd's r the best but his newwer cds r very good!!!!! but not as good as his older cd's i hope this reiwew help u and

The best of "Weird Al" from the "short hair" days of yore..........2003-07-09

If my wife were to tell me that on the next cross country trip I could only take one "Weird Al" Yankovic album my choice would be between "Running with Scissors" and Volume 2 of his "Greatest Hits." We get two more tracks this time around and while I am sure every single one of us would like to replace several of tracks with what we would consider better choices (I always skipped "Achy Breaky Song," just like I did the original), that is always going to be true with any "Weird Al" hits collection. But on the plus side "Smells Like Nirvana" is a recognizable classic, "You Don't Love Me Anymore" is the best original composition Yankovic ever wrote, and "Polka Your Eyes Out" is as great a polka medley as exists in the canon of Western music. The other parodies cover the current spectrum of American music. Yes, "Weird Al" does not take on the gloved one or the Material Girl this time around, but anybody that can rewrite the lyrics to songs by both the Kinks and the Red Hot Chili Peppers is a master of the form for my money. Besides, on this one I knew all of the originals and my kids were stumped by "Jurassic Park" (although how do you really make fun out of a song about leaving a cake out in the rain?). I know it is really not fair to complain that these "Weird Al" hits collections are better than his albums (who is that NOT true for?), but there are just so many people who skip the regular albums and wait for the next hits collection to come down the road. I would think that Volume 3 should be out before the next Star Wars movie.

My Spike Jones nostalgia trip........2007-02-07

The disk was all I expected. As might be expected, the reording and my memory were different. The difference was good, however.

Big Fun.......2006-12-28

I was so happy to find this. The family spent some great times together listening to the 78's. My Dad was a HUGE fan! I wish he were still around to listen to the CD quality. Mom and I had a great time reminiscing. I do have (1) very minor disappointment... I was used to and liked better a different version of "Hawaiian War Chant" it was my favorite as a kid. This one is much "quieter"

Yesss!.......2006-02-22

A lot of thanks to Ted Hering, who pointed out a lot of amazing, interesting details (such as the Hawaiian War Chant being the early version, but with a better sound than the Harlequin version,which I own too),especially because those details DO NOT FIGURE on the CD itself! Which means that, looking at/in/around the booklet, one might say: "Oh, I already have those!" Really brillant sound quality, as close to the original studio sound as possible. Great selection, great engineering! And indeed, as I stated some time ago reviewing another Spike Jones CD: if only we could find a "Carmen" in THIS sound quality. Where? When?

pre rock and roll anarchy!.......2004-12-25

Oh man, is this great... funny, wild, and even a little dangerous. Spike Jones was rock and roll before rock and roll... and he hated the form! Hated it. Which is too bad, because he seems to have planted some of the seeds for its birth; thumbing his nose at the high brows, total disregard for convention to name a few.
As for the music... Paul Frees's recitation of "My Old Flame" is so funny AND horrific it makes Eminem look like a wimp. Yes.
"Der Fuehrer's Face": listen to how the line "Superduper supermen" is delivered to find out what Spike and gang REALLY thought of the Nazis.
Doodle Weaver is THE secret weapon of Spike's arsenal. His performances on "Dance of the Hours" (at the Indy 500! Weaver's imitation of passing cars is so precise) and "William Tell Overture" (as a horserace, what else?) will live on long after we're gone. The only quibble is "Dance" comes on before "William Tell" and it really should be the other way around. Why? I don't want to spoil your fun; buy it and find out.
"Ya Wanna Buy A Bunny" is hysterical! Lots of great stuff on here, but my fave is "Chinese Mule Train". Racist as anything, true, but fall down funny (so I guess I'm going to h-e double hockey sticks...).
A warning: this is one of those cds you will either think is the greatest thing you've ever heard, or you will absolutely loathe it. There is NO middle ground. I hope you will think the former.

Timeless Musical Mayhem and Madness !.......2004-08-16

o.k. two of my faves are missing from this one... LAURA, and Spike Jones version of Carmen.... also interestingly, the versions are different than the ones on some other CDs currently available... but who's to complain... ? Spike Jones is Spike Jones and he was brilliant... What cracks me up is the way he can go from playing a tune so straight that you'd never guess that a few minutes later midgets'll be jumping out of tubas, air raid sirens going off, and all mayhem will be breaking lose. In fact, I love seeing the reaction of people who might really get into the "straight" intros to the tunes, and their face change colors when suddenly the madness begins. - - as "cornball" as some of the comedy is, some of it has a level of surrealistic irreverance and musical calculation that i takes the music to level of high art... I mean... Its one thing to fire shotguns in the air, break glasses and belching... but to have the band doing it in perfect time and key ? No wonder FRANK ZAPPA actually sited Spike Jones as a primary influence in his autobio... and he wasn't the only modern musician who's been influenced by Spike... I'm a straight Jazz organist... I recorded a new CD recently... I do a very NORMAL version of LAURA, but the truth is, in my head when I was playing it, maybe the other musicians were hearing Charlie Parker's version... but whenever I play LAURA, or even MY OLD FLAME its Spike I hear !

Country the way I like it........2007-04-20

This is a really good CD with Ferlin Husky. Almost every song reminds me of younger times and life lessions. It's the original sound without all the new add in instruments.
Jodi S.

Gone, but not forgotten.......2007-01-27

I heard the song GONE over 4 years ago, and have been trying to find the CD of it since. Now that I found it through Amazon, I am able to play it constantly. Thank you Ferlin for the great gift you share with the world, you have a magnificent voice... thank you Amazon for having the Best music on line.... Ferlin Husky's Greatest Hits has pride of place in my house.... Jennyg.

A reminder.......2006-07-25

With this album, I was reminded just how good Ferlin Husky Was in his hay-day.

Fine selection of songs.......2005-11-07

Here is a fine collection of songs you will not find anywhere else; and at a good price. I have to admit I'm not a big fan of Ferlin Husky's voice (I find it too "whiney"), but his biggest hits are included here, and the sound is excellent. Included on this album are his signature songs "Wings of a Dove" and "Once"; as well as a fair rendition of Don Gibson's "I Cant Stop Loving You".

A Unique Sound In Country Music.......2004-12-01

First, one of the many people calling themselves "A Music Fan" says Ferlin Husky was known as "Terry Preston" when he did "Gone". Not true; I was a young fan of many kinds of music and remember him as Ferlin Husky in 1957, I believe it was. Ferlin was known as Terry Preston in his earlier life in radio and stage performances but when Tennessee Ernie Ford's manager took him in hand and got him a contract, he went back to the name he had when he was born in Missouri. He did raise a son named Terry Preston (Husky). This package of hits covers all of the good stuff, his early "I Feel Better All Over", "Gone", "The Dear John Letter" and "Once". The only thing they might have added is "Country Music is Here to Stay" that he did under his comic alter ego name of Simon Crum. Ferlin was a favorite of Dean Martin who enjoyed country music and had Ferlin on his show. You can seek out other songs by Ferlin but this package will tell you all you need to know. No reason not to enjoy it. It's more than country music; it's Americana. That's how good he is.

Even though he's suffered through some bad scripts and an ill-advised singing career and been eclipsed by a younger generation of black comics (like Martin Lawrence and Chris Rock), Eddie Murphy remains one of the most important--and funniest--standups to come along since Richard Pryor. This album reminds you why. At his best, Murphy is wonderfully inventive and accessible. There are some excellent old bits here: "Drinking Fathers," "Ice Cream Man"--plus some rare, unreleased routines from Murphy's New York nightclub days. This CD is an excellent addition to any collection; Murphy's impression of James Brown is worth the price alone, as are lines like, "What the f*** does 'gooney-goo-goo' mean?... Gus, your wife is a Bigfoot!" -- Michael Gerber

Good CD but some great material was left out..........2007-03-08

This is a good CD if you need some Eddie in your life. However, being a die-hard fan of Eddie's since his SNL days, I was disappointed to discover the first track is not the entire "Barbeque" bit that was on the "Comedian" album ("Delirious" VHS). It was chopped off and only contained Uncle Gus setting Charlie on fire, "Roll Charlie around, he'll be alright." Then it fades off into track 2, the rest of the "Barbeque" bit ("Goony-Goo-Goo" "Your wife is a big foot, isn't she Gus?") which is titled, "Drinking Fathers." Huh? This is the way it should have been: the first track should have been "The Barbeque" in its entirety, then track 2 should have been the actual "Drinking Fathers" which was released on Eddie's very first CD. It is just hiliarious. Also left out from the first CD was Eddie's bit about his senile grandmother always asking, "What time is it?" and "Why it's so cold in here?" Hiliarious. The song "Enough Is Enough" featuring Buckwheat and Little Richard was also left out. The first CD is out of print so it's usually expensive when you do find it. Luckily, my brother has the tape so I copied his.

The rest of the CD is fine but they could have left off "Old Jew", "Buckwheat", and "Grandma Klump" and replaced them with one of the bits I mentioned above. I wish "Raw" was available on CD but unfortunately, it's not. They do have "C----' Hard" from "Raw" on this CD but that's it. It sounds as if it was recorded at a club maybe because it is not the exact same, word-for-word bit that's on "Raw." However, it is very funny, maybe even funnier than the one used on the VHS version.

Like all greatest hits compilations, they always seem to leave some good stuff out. Whenever you pick up a greatest hits package, why is it that "your song" is never on there but the one you weren't so crazy about is? These are really not Eddie Murphy's greatest hits, but they are great and well worth the purchase.

eddie murphy the one and only.......2005-04-09

this is a great collection of some of his greatest comedy skits. i love all of these bits he does on this album it really rocks. eddie has always been my favorite stand up comedian. like i said he is the one and only he is one of a kind. like a few others i to wonder why they left some of his other hits of of this album? there were some more i feel should have been on here aswell. like the shoe throwing mother. and some others. well all in all im still happy with it. its worth the buy if you are into eddie murphy style comedy. this is the one for you. thanks for your time. hillybilly katz.

HILARIOUS!!!!.......2004-06-07

I LOVE THIS CD. IT IS FUNNY. I LOVE EDDIE MURPHY; HE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE COMEDIANS OF ALL TIME. I ENJOY HIS COMEDY AND I ENJOY HIM. EDDDIE HAS SOME OF SIGNATURE JOKES ON HERE: ICE CREAM MAN, FAGGOTS, HIT BY A CAR, AND MANY MORE BUY THIS CD IF YOU ENJOYED EDDIE IN THE 80'S THEN YOU WOULD DEFINITELY LOVE THIS CD!!!! BUY IT !!!

Still Funny yet Lacking in Quantity.......2003-11-18

I grew up wanting to "Party All The Time" and chasing "The Ice Cream Man". I had the complete version of "Bar-B-Que" and "Drunk Fathers" memorized. But, tell me this....where is my "Shoe Throwin' Mother"? That is a classic Murphy bit and it was greatly missed on this CD. This CD could have been better...but I still got my kicks!!! Eddie Murphy.....wierd to see him in Daddy Daycare and Klumps and think of how he used to be. I give the CD about a 8 out of 10.

A Great Collection But Buy the Other Albums as Well.......2003-10-28

This is a great collection of previously unreleased tracks as well as some tracks from his other two albums Comedian and Self Titled. There's twelve new (well still recorded in the 80's) tracks and six from the other albums. In my opinion the funniest tracks are still on the other albums. The Mr T jokes you have probably heard of are not on this album. The hilarious tracks Talking Cars, Myths/A Little Chinese and Black Movie Theatres are also absent and should really be on a greatest hits Eddie Murphy album.

Still this album is worthwhile listening to but I think you will definitely buy the other two once you have this. If you are buying this for your kids because they love donkey from Shrek or the Nutty Professor or something just be aware it has a fair bit of swearing on it. I prefer the other albums (they also have better sound quality) but you won't really go wrong with this.
