I've been an MST3K fan for close to ten years and never knew this album existed. Thanks for bringing it to attention, Gristle.
For those who are unfamiliar with MST3K, it revolves around a human and two robots trapped in space and forced to watch low-budget poorly-made movies as an experiment in human sanity. To keep themselves from losing their minds, the crew add in their own dialogue and witty comments to entertain themselves. The plot doesn't really matter though. It's just an excuse to mock bad movies from the past that would otherwise never have any entertainment value.
During breaks, there would be host segments where the crew would have satirical discussions about the movie or perform humorous musical numbers. This album is basically a collection of those musical numbers. Non-fans hearing these songs for the first time may be turned off by its cheesiness and lack of budget. But for the people who adore the show, it's part of the charm. Underneath it's plain style are genius lyrics that are usually appreciated better within its context. Singing "Patrick Swayze Christmas" has been a holiday tradition for me in the past few years. And "The Canada Song" is so gut-bustingly funny that I couldn't breathe for a good five minutes after my first listen.
This album will stick out like a sore thumb in the SST database, but I didn't have the heart to vote "No." Especially since it might broaden MST3K's fanbase which has always been a cult following anyway.
Word of Warning: If this album is added, some editing will be necessary due to foul language.
