His fourteenth studio record, Mandatory Fun, could have been just the next installment of his comedic remakes, yet he decided to make this album so much more. First of all, the parodies are spot-on musically throughout the record, but what’s even better is that the jokes are absolutely hilarious. What’s more is that Yankovic crafted this record into a decently fluid album listen, by observing the style of the tracks he was imitating and placing them in a way that causes the listen to never feel stale. Mandatory Fun may be the most aptly titled album ever conceived, as Weird Al has created a collection of clever parodies that is simply impossible not to enjoy, often more than the originals. • Jake's Track Picks: • 1.
