What's Your Name [Explicit Lyrics]

Amazon.com
Among his Saturday Night Live peers--Chris Rock, Chris Farley, David Spade--Adam Sandler has always been the most musically inclined. It's only natural then that the creator of Opera Man and "The Hanukkah Song" would record What's Your Name, an entirely song-based, and often hilarious, musical parody record. The album's first song commences with one of Sandler's trademark nonsense words--a menacing "Schnoin!"--then goes on to tell the tale of a neighborly old man whose hobby is "Moyda" (or murder). There's also two spot-on snipes at Bruce Springsteen, "The Lonesome Kicker" and "Listenin' to the Radio," and one of the most unsettling dance-floor throw downs you'll ever hear--the P-Funk meets Ween booty-shake of "Dance Like You Just Shit Your Pants." Sandler ransacks just about every musical genre known to western humanity, but it's his unrepentant immaturity, more than his chops, that's sure to make What's Your Name a junior high school bus classic for years to come. --Matt Hanks

adam sandler at his musical best.......2007-01-11

I have not heard this CD but when I heard it I was impressed by Adam's musical talent

blah.......2005-04-17

People are complaining about this cd being all songs. Well, what is wrong with that...the guy was always singing songs anyway. People obviously haven't listened to the lyrics if you claim that there is nothing funny on the cd. Hell, one of the songs is an old favorite from SNL called RED HOODED SWEATSHIRT..just retouched for the radio audience. You people sicken me. This cd is gold. It's both funny, and just a great sounding cd. I was surpised how well Listening to the Radio works as song without or without the comedy element. But forget creativity...the people complaining just wants skits...sorry..I always like the songs better than the skits anyway.

This is good music.......2005-01-27

I got this album way back, and although I liked the songs then, I didn't really appreciate it. Since then, after I "discovered" Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, B.B. King, Sara McLaughlin, and more, I had a gained a much deeper appreciation for music, and for those artists who are able to make you feel what they feel when they wrote, sang, or played their music. Listening to this album now, it's obvious to me that Sandler has the same quality as well, the ability to express himself nakedly in his music. The humor might somewhat obscure that quality, but it's there if you pay attention.

That's not to say they're aren't silly songs meant to get cheap laughs. Most of them are. However, a couple of gems like "Corduroy Blues" and especially (especially) "Listenin' to the Radio" reveal Sandler to be the artist he really is.

Adam Sandler has done it again.......2004-12-26

I have all of Adam Sandler's albums, and Sandler is a riot in both his movies and on his albums. Sandler's first album, "They're All Gonna Laugh At You" was hillarious and by far Sandler's best album, and Sandler's second album, "What The Hell Happened To Me", wasn't as good as "They're All Gonna Laugh At You", but that album did deliver a lot of laughs also. Sandler's third album, "What's Your Name", finds Adam Sandler releasing an album fully comprised of songs, and no skits. As another reviewer already mentioned, it's just not Adam Sandler without skits. But that's OK. Sandler is very good at parodies, and the whole album is pretty funny, but my favorite songs would have to be "Moyda", "Bad Boyfriend", "Corduroy Blues", "Listenin' To The Radio", and "Voodoo". Two tracks on here, "The Respect Chant" and "The Goat Song" are sequels to two tracks on "What The Hell Happened To Me"( "Respect" and "The Goat") and while "The Respect Chant" doesn't go into anything about it's sucessor skit, "The Goat Song" does. There is also a Bruce Springsteen parody on here("The Lonesome Kicker") which is very funny, and "Listenin' To The Radio" is a song which contains references (not dirty references, jokes) to songs by artists such as Sting, John Mellencamp, Eric Clapton, and believe it or not, KISS( one line of this song includes "I Wanna Be The One To Hear Beth Calling Me"). There will be some people who won't buy or won't like "What's Your Name" because of the fact that it is fully comprised of songs and no skits, but if you like Adam Sandler, and you like parodies, you should give this album a listen.

Tanya's early classics.......2002-07-05

With two important bonus tracks (Delta Dawn and Love's the Answer, both from Tanya's debut album) added to Tanya's second and third Columbia albums, this is a far stronger collection than any Greatest hits album from Sony/Columbia. The only significant omission is Jamestown Ferry.

Against that, there are many excellent album tracks, including Tanya's covers of Teddy Bear song, Pass me by, Let me be there, Bed of roses and Why me lord - but this collection is particularly interesting for all the original songs included, many of them thought-provoking, none more so than the opening What's your mama's name?, which asks a child about an unknown father.

Although it's many years since I heard the original albums (I used to have all her Columbia vinyl LP's), Collectables chose wisely in compiling this CD. Tanya's debut was wonderful, but the two LP's that followed it were even better.

This is classic traditional country music. Tanya's voice (a sort of country Tina Turner, if you see what I mean) may not appeal to everybody, but if you like the voice and you like traditional country, this will you suit you ideally.

Early Tanya At Her Best.......2000-07-08

A prior review states all these songs were on earlier albums. This is incorrect. These are two original albums..the second and third of her career. Both contain some of the earliest hits that established her as a force in Country Music. What's Your Mama's Name became her first #1 single. Blood Red and Goin' Down is a classic, Would You Lay With Me also a classic. These were recorded at ages 14 and 15 and both CD's showcase the voice that was once called "An American Dream." For me, the real reason to buy this double cd is that between the two there are nine songs that do NOT appear on any other Tanya CD. They, until now, could only be heard if you had the original vinyl albums. Four of the songs alone are worth the price. Those being.. California Cotton Fields, Old Dan Tucker's Daughter, What If We Were Running Out Of Love and my personal favorite.. The Baptism Of Jesse Taylor. This is early seventies country at its best.

Tanya Tucker:What's Your Mama's Name/Would You Lay With Me.........2000-06-18

I think this is a great album for anyone who likes TANYA TUCKER. It has songs from her early years that you wouldn't have heard on the radio. All the songs were on eariler albums. They are great songs that shows the range she has in her voice....This is a must for the Tanya fan. ENJOY.

Highly recommended.......2002-08-20

This pricey UK import CD filled a lot of gaps in my music collection and is an excellent overview of notable music of (mostly) recent films. It's difficult to find consistently listenable soundtrack collections like this, by that I mean free from the obligitory Whitney Houston or Celine Dion embarrassments. Usually rights issues prevent comprehensive compilations like this in the US, too. While I enjoy a lot of soundtrack music, there aren't so many complete soundtracks that I would care to own, some examples of exceptions being Ennio Morricone scores and the About a Boy Soundtrack. While certainly most of these tracks are the actual recordings used in their respective films, I noticed that "La mamma morte" from Philadelphia is not the Maria Callas version. There might be other cases like this, I'm not sure. And "Unchained Melody" from Ghost is an orchestral version, not the pop song (but I consider this a plus). This collection seems to focus on the subtle and quirky, yet melodic music of indie films, with less emphasis on the loud sweeping orchestral scores of major Hollywood hits, but of course there are a few like Gladiator and Braveheart, which are welcome here because like I've said, I probably wouldn't listen to the whole score. I love the two Thomas Newman compositions from American Beauty, and it's good to have some music from films by the Cohen Brothers here. My only complaint would have to be the order of the songs. You would think they would avoid jumping back and forth between pop songs, orchestral scores, and quiet music, but it just seems thrown together by random. I would compare this collection to the excellent "Miramax Films Greatest Hits" but the makers of that album knew to group the two pop/rock songs at the end.

Sultry-voiced Diop merges the acoustic African sounds of artists like Lokua Kanza (who appears on No Sant) and Henri Dikongue with the Western pop leanings of Youssou N'Dour. As such he is a world troubadour who just happens to be African, and fittingly he has assembled an eclectic global coterie of artists on this diverse collection of well-crafted and extremely musical songs. Consequently you will hear elements as diverse as Japanese opera vocals and Bretonese cornemuse (bagpipes) in the jazzy pop arrangements of his Senegal-based songs. Carefully sequenced, these 12 tracks range between folksy intimacy and full-on stadium anthems, all of them slickly produced and poised to position the work of this eloquent artist in any cosmopolitan record collection. --Derek Rath

Customer Reviews:

Invigorating, Smooth, Sultry, Overall a Great Buy!!.......2003-09-11

My introduction to the master, Wasis Diop, was through the movie "Th Thomas Crown Affair" (one of my fav movies!) in which one the soundtracks was by Mr.Diop. Originally from Senegal (Senegalese music is very distinct from sounds of other parts of Africa!), now settled in France, "No Sant" was his first album, "Toxu" being the second.

In this album my favorites:
*"No Sant" is absolutely fantastic, fittingly the album is also named after, supported by the amazing vocals of Lena Figabe.
*Chorus from "Di Na wo" is amazing...
*"African Dream", which is performed with Lena Figabe too..
*"Le Voyaguer" brings out Wasis's talent...truly!

Overall, if you are into African/World music, then PICK THIS UP! Worth every dollar spent, you wont go wrong!

Enjoy!

Need another CD Player.......2002-11-07

This is a very good artistic work. I must have looked in 10 music stores for this on CD-ROM before I got lucky and found one. Although I listen to all types of music, I cannot seem to get this one out of my CD player as I want to hear this again before playing something else. This is one of those works that you can go back to over and over again without getting tired of it. I've written alot of good software while listening to Wasis Diop.

My Favorite African Album.......1998-09-26

I instantly fell in love with this album when I first heard it. It's innovative music that draws from deep African roots music and a fresh variety of World sounds--even bagpipes--for a contemporary pop fusion that is scrumptious and memorable. I have a love affair with African music, and this album is at the top of my very long list.

Beautiful Show.......2006-12-17

I have not seen this show, but after listening to it the whole way through, I want to very badly. The story is heartbreaking, and the music lends itself so well. At times it can be very spooky almost scary, and then other times as simplisticly beautiful as one could hope for. The music and lyrics are a bit repetitious, but this soundtrack tells the whole story. You can visualize everything going on. Its wonderful. I would suggest this to broadway collectors and just listners alike. Its also one that might be good for those who listen to books on tape, because you really do get the whole story, and it is stunningly beautiful. Favorite Song: "I Wonder What's Inside"

English is an asset and a drawback.......2004-07-20

The best thing about this recording of Carmen is the libretto. Conductor David Parry penned this facile and dramatic English translation. He avoids the pitfalls of literal translation to achieve an idiomatic flow that matches the rhythm of the original lyrics. I use this as a reference libretto for any of the French Carmens.

Unfortunately, the performance suffers from being sung in English. The singers declaim their parts with such proper British diction that Carmen comes across as a school marm. The spoken dialog is delivered beat for deliberate beat and is dripping with reverb. It makes the plaza, tavern and mountain pass all sound like a sewer pipe.

This is a good first Carmen for someone trying to understand the work. The libretto itself is a good investment for further listening. For an enjoyable performance with an emphasis on character and action, I recommend Regina Resnik on the London Double Decker set.

You Will Love Opera After Hearing Carmen In English.......2004-02-09

What a perfect introduction to opera. This newly released recording will surely get you hooked into opera. Carmen, a French opera by Georges Bizet, is the most recognizable and most popular in the opera world. It's famous melodies- the overture, the Habanera, The Toreador Song have all been featured in everything from cellular phone ring tones to Superbowl Commercial (last year's Superbowl with The "Opera In English" label has been making Italian operas into English for a number of years now. Also on the market are Verdi's La Traviata in English (with soprano Valerie Masterson as Violetta) Handel's Julius Caesar with Janet Baker and even Wagner's epic Ring Of The Nibeling sung in English. This is a terrific recording and I highly recommend it if you want to get into opera. Listen to this version first and then try the real, original French version Bizet had written. Patricia Bardon is sensational, sexy and dramatic as Carmen.

The real strength of this version is the dynamic drama. With the advantage of being sung in English, we get better insight on characters' emotions and motives, and we understand the drama a lot better. Carmen is all about great drama. Bizet drew the plot from the French writer Prosper Merimee's dark short story. Carmen is the ultimate femme fatale- a devil-may-care, sexy Gypsy living in Spain, seduces the conservatively raised soldier Don Jose, stealing him away from his fiancee, the passive Micaela, living a life of underground smuggling and rowdy taverns. "Habanera" and "The Gypsy Song and Dance" are very expressive of Carmen's extraordinarily liberal lifestyle. Don Jose, however, has fallen deeply in love- as he shows us in his song/aria "The Flower Song". But Carmen soon becomes tired of his constancy. Don Jose wants a committed, monogamous relationship with Carmen. But Carmen will not submit to love, since she is first and foremost a carnal creature. Eventually, she falls for the handsome Toreador Escamillo. Don Jose, consumed by jealousy, stabs Carmen at a bullfight after Carmen declares her love for Escamillo and rejects Don Jose's love. Don Jose's crazed, obscessive personality shines through in the English version as well. This tragedy has been done in English before so don't think this is the first time. Back in the 50's, there was a film, starring black actors "Carmen Jones" which was treated the same way as this opera- more like an English Broadway musical and with the dubbed singing voice of Marilyn Horne as Carmen. All in all, this recording is excellent.

A wholly credible "Carmen" -- finally!.......2003-09-17

This recording really sells "Carmen" as a drama. Although I have two other recordings of this opera and have seen it performed several times, it never quite worked for me dramatically. But thanks to the fine performances, conducting, and translation here, I've become a "Carmen" convert. Producing a good English-language performance of a foreign opera, especially a warhorse like "Carmen," is much more difficult than it might appear. You need performers who not only can sing the parts (of course) but also can sing *English* and make it halfway intelligible and make it sound like English and make it dramatically convincing to English-speakers. The singers on this recording do an excellent job all around. Don't be put off if you don't recognize their names -- they are up to the task musically and (especially) in their acting. Admittedly, as with *all* English-language recordings, some passages are very hard to understand without reading along, but most of the time the words are clear and effective. I would recommend this recording to any opera beginner or opera lover, even those who normally turn up their noses at performances in translation.

I love Carmen!.......2003-08-15

I do. I can think of no other opera with more melodic inventiveness, and few others with so sure a dramatic pulse. Carmen is popular and it thrills me to say that it is also a very good opera - not always true of popular things.

And what of this recording? Carmen sits well in English, so it is good to hear in translation, although some of the detais in the text jar. Escamillo refers to Jose as "my dear", which sounds rather peculiar, and the guide's line to Micaela: "it's not exactly inviting, is it?" sounds distinctly Middle England rather than Rural Spain. Some of the performers, not least Carmen herself, make the words work, although there are long tracts, especially with the chorus, where the language is distinctly indistinct.

The soloists are, by and large, strong. Patricia Bardon's deep, Handel-friendly voice adapts well to Carmen and she colours the music with phenomenal detail, sounding sexy and provocative from the start with an edge of pride and anger that emerges as the show goes on. She is out of her depth above the stave, though, and some extra top notes in the second act don't show her off to her best advantage. I have previously said that Julian Gavin is poorly served by recordings, though here he sounds much more even and gives a thrilling and musical performance (but his wooden spoken lines let him down). Mary Plazas is a lovely Micaela, rich-voiced and sincere (and word-perfect), but Garry Magee sounds miscast as Escamillo, lacking the ballast at the bottom of the voice to do justice to this tricky role.

The supporting cast is good (Mary Hegarty seems to do nothing but Frasquita these days!) but the really treasurable thing is the conducting. Stepping out of Italian Ottocento, David Parry turns his hand to this French Comedie with an appropriate lightness of touch. His pacing and handling of the set pieces is exemplary and the enrtractes go with a real swing.

A pleasure, then, for the Carmen naive or a novelty for the Carmen-acquainted. I nearly wrote Carmen-weary - but I don't think it's possible.

Great CD if you can find it!.......2002-01-30

This is vintage Hampton String Quartet. Recorded while they were still on RCA, this album shows the group's early potential. To see how they have grown, compare the "Stairway to Heaven" on this CD with the "Stairway to Heaven" on HSQ's independent CD "Sympathy For The Devil". The rock string quartets capture the vitality and energy of rock much better than other attempts by classical musicians. A great CD!

Mozart Meets Steppenwolf.......2000-06-22

This is a great CD for studying and working to. It's all of your favorite songs but done classical style which helps improve on mental abilities. I listen to this while I am at work or studying in my dormroom. The Hampton Quartet really pulls through with this one. 4 stars!
