[edit] Criticism
Some of Yankovic's fans have stated that "Syndicated Inc." is the weakest song on Bad Hair Day. Their justification ranges from that it is just another song about TV, to the fact that all the rhymes end in the long 'e' sound. Despite this, several Yankovic fans still cite it as one of their favorite parodies.[1]
[edit] Notes
- "Syndicated Inc.", a Soul Asylum parody, interestingly enough, appears on the same album as a Soul Asylum style parody, "The Night Santa Went Crazy".
- "Syndicated Inc." is one of Yankovic's more recent TV songs, third only to "Jerry Springer" and "Couch Potato".
