Fake Songs (Bonus DVD)
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
