Synopsis

Amazon.com

You don't often hear a comedy disc with a strict political agenda, but Simply Reprehensible is just that. Not only does Shanklin go after Clinton and his cronies, he attacks any sign of liberalism, seems to love the National Rifle Association, and on "Great Moments in Moderate History," even cuts down moderates. Rush Limbaugh would probably love this nasty CD's routines and parodies. "Rev. Jackson's Jailhouse Vote" is racist dross. Set to the tune of "Jailhouse Rock," the track features someone imitating Jesse Jackson on vocals. The lyrics reduce Jackson's voter registration campaign to a plea for the voting rights of crack dealers, rapists, and murderers. A sample of the sarcastic lyrics: "That man's not in jail for sellin' tons of crack / I think we all know it's because he's black," intones the Jackson mimic. Right-wing ideology pops up all over this disc. Do even true believers actually think this CD is funny? Sounds more like a stale collection of propaganda skits than a comedy album. --Ian Conde

CD Reviews

AWESOME

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I LOVE this album! My absolute favorite track is the one they did on Star Wars entitled "Starr's War" HILARIOUS! And the one sung by the "Rev." Jessie Jackson "Jailhouse Vote" was cool too. Things just keep getting better and better for the writers who create these incredible works or art!"

Shanklin is poetry in parody!

"Shanklin is up to his old tricks and it is funnier than ever! Simply Reprehensible is Simply funny! With out a doubt Paul Shanklin has another sure-fire winner on his hands with this album. Simply Reprehensible takes a shot at everyone and no one is safe anymore.The Washington beltway should be put on notice that Shanklin's latest, and probably his best; recording is 32 tracks of real genius. Shanklin's voice characterizations will keep laughing and the parodies will keep you thinking. Tracks like the title track, "All my shady friends", "Rose Garden", "Viagra", "Subpeonaville", "Unconvictable" and the other 26 tracks will bring back memories of the President and his antics. With a message in every song, they're something for everyone in this recording.Carvel, Kennedy, Gore, Bob and Elizabeth Dole, Bill and Hillary and many more are all here just waiting to be heard. Conservative or Liberal, Republican or Democrat, you're bound to find something to laugh at and laugh you will!"

Simply Hysterical!

"Another GREAT album from Paul Shanklin! This one has super parodies from the Rush Limbaugh Show, like the title track, but also has great new tracks that weren't on the show! Songs like "Viagra!" sung by a Walter Brennen sound a-like! What a roar! Not to forget the comedy bits, like "Starr's War", the take off on Star Wars! too funny! This album is a MUST HAVE for all Limbaugh and educated comedt fans. Nothing filthy or nasty that you have to worry about the kids hearing. Put this one in your shopping cart, NOW!"
