Fake Songs (Bonus DVD)

Amazon.com
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 Whore," 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

Humor.......2007-07-16

I like a few of the songs but I am happy that I got it used. A fun CD, I basically got this for the Happy Song. I wanted to see what Liam Lynch was all about.

Real Review for Fake Songs.......2007-03-12

This CD is a good CD. Liam is a funny dude and a natural songwriter. I'm not going to give you a track by track rundown, but overall, the songs are funny and enjoyable. I will say I love the fake Bjork song. Buy this CD if you're a Sifl and Olly fan, if you really liked the School of Rock songs or if you really enjoyed the Tenacious D movie songs. Buy it if you just want a goofy CD. A lot of the songs are from the show and the new ones are reminiscent of the show. The ones that don't fit into those categories are funny parodies. The rest are crap!! No, just kidding.

Oh and the DVD is a cool look into Liam's life. You really get a good feel about how he does things. He has some cats. He's very inspiring, I almost got up and tried to make a cool puppet character out of various items in my room.

Uneven, but overall not that great.......2005-05-26

The standout is, of course, "United States of Whatever" which is pretty good, but the rest of the album falls flat. His fake Bjork, Depeche Mode, etc... songs are better than the rest, but they don't make this album worth buying.

Snot-gobbing Tongue Chewing.......2004-05-31

Simply put, the United States of Whatever, the 'big hit' of this album is nothing more and nothing less than a snot-gobbing, tongue-chewing masterpiece with the breath of a diseased dog, the darting eyeballs of a zombie and a jockstrap of barbed wire. It's a cross between early Beck and Frank Zappa with a killer Eddie Cochran meets punk metal riff.

Featuring Jack Black and Ringo Starr, this album does four things at once. 1) Provide an amazing, while hilarious, homage to each artist Lynch targets for the fake songs on the CD 2) Dishes out two back-to-the-basics, pretty much on the level, rock and roll songs 3) Kick out a few clever, original joke songs. 4) Adds in a wealth of material on the bonus DVD. Some artists would feel the need to charge customers for the honor to take in his unique and utterly profound vision in video form. Not Lynch. There's nothing profound about his vision, but the point Lynch makes in his DVD labor of love is 'if I can do it, so can you.' His down-to-earth attitude holds up even while in the presence of a former Beatle. Of course, if you read up on Lynch, you'll find that without Ringo Starr this album most likely would have not been made. Although, in the end, it's Lynch's tenacious dedication to his craft, however unserious it may seem, that brings the goods in pure, old-fasioned enjoyment.

All this for a guy who's color-blind and dyslexic. Cat lovers take note. He has a theme song for his cat. Meow.

Hillarious? Yes! - Frequently Listenable? Not exactly..........2004-05-15

The songs on this album are nothing short of brilliant parody. Liam Lynch does a magnificent job of mocking (or honoring) such artists as Depeche Mode, David Bowie and the Pixies. The Bowie imitation is spot on, and totally hillarious. Other songs are great, as well, such as the hit single "United States of Whatever". On a whole, the album just isn't solid, or something I'm able to put in the stereo and listen to. It's great for a conversation piece, or to entertain guests, but as a good listen, it just doesn't work.

The bonus DVD, with hillarious videos, and footage of Ringo Starr drumming with Lynch is worth the admission alone. This, my friends, is a DVD which offers more than the CD. I'm keeping this album for it.

A CULT classic. A rare gem!.......2005-04-20

I bought this album for 5 bucks on a whim, mainly just for the "United States of Whatever" track. God what a find! This guy is in many regards a genius. This is totally original and sometimes bizarre (much like Ween) and absolutely worth checking out. The cd alone is great. It is a combination of sound alike (not parodies, more like written in the style of...) songs like the "Fake Pixies, or Fake David Bowie" songs, or totally original unique, sometimes funny-bizarre ("im all bloody inside")or actually very talented (try me) alternative music. It all has a very basement home brewed feel. The DVD was a very nice extra as well. It is basiclly a strewn together bizarre collection of computer animation, bizarre sketch comedy, puppetry, and wierdness with a smattering of behind the scenes stuff (like the songs he cut with Ringo Star "try me" and Jack Black "rock and Roll Whore") Awesome Awesome Awesome! Very reccomended!

Product Description

Energetic Power Pop for fake giraffes. A MUST listen for those who are inspired by the likes of Norm MacDonald and/or Weezer. Oh yeah, it RAWKS TOO. Love Scream has its roots in a very informal association of musicians, at college in Boston, who would get together to play the music of Josh Jesty (songwriter, singer, guitarist). After much experimentation the lineup was completed in the Fall of 99', when Jesty , Josh Kaler (guitarist, singer), and Owen Biddle (bassist, singer) teamed up with Dan Meath (drummer). For the next few months the four member group practiced a lot, and gigged a little. The chemistry that developed in that short time was very promising, and was strong enough to influence the four to make a go of it. However, the group needed to make a great recording if they were going to be noticed in the busy Boston music scene. In the late Fall of 2000, the band met accomplished producer/engineer Richard Mendelson. Rich believed in the vision of the group, and decided to work with them over the summer of 2000 to produce "More Songs About the Reproductive Cycle." The Band: Josh Jesty - vocals, guitar; Josh Kaler - guitar, vocals; Owen Biddle - bass, vocals; Dan Meath - drums; Track Listing: 1. I Say Something; 2. Down to a T; 3. Don't Jump Marie; 4. Laxative; 5. Nothing; 6. Jelingwits; 7. Empty Canvas; 8. Something About a Mindset; 9. Contradiction; 10. Personal Space; 11. I Played the Drums so Well.
