My favorite artist is the Flight of the Conchords and one of my favorite songs is “Ladies of the World” from their first album Flight of the Conchords. The review I selected was written by Andrew Beckerman, for Dusted Reviews, focus mainly on the fact that the song “Ladies of the World” and the album Flight of the Conchords is a failed parody. Also, that the album has a slightly racist statement that there are certain genres of music that certain groups can only perform. I disagree with the majority of the evaluation of the reviewer. The main part of the evaluation that I disagree with is the fact that the songs are failed parody. This is because the album and the song is only a slight parody and it is mainly comedy. Another part of the evaluation that I disagree with is that the album is making fun of racism not being racist. I would evaluate the album on different criteria. I would evaluate the album on its impact, effect, and how remember able it is. The impact part of the evaluation would determine if the song, and album, impacted the listener of the song. While the effect part of the evaluation would determine if the song was able to bring its message to the listener. The final part of the evaluation would determine if the song could be easily remembered after hearing it.
It is my favorite album because it contains a lot of fun goofy music that is different from what is normal that it cheers me and makes me happy on bad days, and it makes my good days even better.

The music video of the song:
A. Yeah, sarcasm presents the most difficulty for evaluations because often people just read the song in a way that takes it too seriously. Hah, but the rollerskates in the video are hilarious.
