Description
Precocious Liam Lynch is the twisted mind behind MTV's Sifl and Olly sock-puppet show and has also worked on various film and music projects. Indeed, a wacky, well-worth-watching full-length DVD is part of this package. On this 20-song masterwork, Lynch serves up a selection of sound-alike-tribute "fake songs," as well as a few "originals." And thanks to the summer-perfect "United States of Whatever," he has registered his first hit single. Songs like "S.O.S." and "Cuz You Do" are groovy in a loose White Stripes way, while Lynch does a dead-on parody in "Fake Bjork Song." He moves easily from the country-drunk looseness of "Still Wasted" to the hip-hop of "Rapbot." Lynch's David Bowie accent and lyrics on "Fake Bowie Song" are picture perfect, ditto his Black Francis on "Fake Pixies Song." "Rock 'N' Roll *," Lynch's duet with Jack Black of Tenacious D, is pure Spinal Tap. Always clever, sometimes hysterical, and sometimes cloying, Lynch is a way hipper Weird Al for the post-millennium MTV generation. --Katherine Turman
