The Sexy Lilliputans -- s/t
Goofy weirdness of many sorts. A laff riot! Whoa! Goofy, strange 80s covers of Prince and Def Leppard, great political parodies of Enron and Republican warmongers, songs about Star Wars characters, elements of Spike Jones and Weird Al and song-poems and general weird brilliance
PICKS: 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 25
FCC: 2, 10, 17, 22
1. glittery rock ballad about Hemingway and his progeny, turns into tribal beat, chanting, loungy ending
2. cheesy bluesy rock song about Han Solo, FCC: motherfucker (slighted edited)

6. superhero parody about "Enron Man" and "Oval Office Boy" and the Enron swindle -- great
