I particularly like the stuff he does that's not aimed at a particular song so much as a particular style. "Dare to be Stupid" is a perfect example; it doesn't sound like any Devo song; it sounds like <i>every</i> Devo song. "Mr. Popeil" is the same way with the B-52s. I also really like "Buy Me a Condo" and "Your Horoscope for Today".
On the other hand, Al has ruined some songs for me. "Zoot Suit Riot" always turns into "Grapefruit Diet" whenever I hear it.
On the gripping hand, he has proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that Polka can be really amusing to listen to.
