The second studio album by musical parody extraordinare Weird Al Yankovic, In 3D lists all the hits.  I've heard most of these tracks here and there, especially when watching a lot of MTV in my younger years, but listening to this album in it's entirety is pretty awesome.  The first year I moved to Austin, Fun Fun Fun Fest decided to do a Friday evening show (the festival, at that time, was only on Saturdays and Sundays) and Weird Al performed that Friday night.  Such a fun show filled with costumes, an accordian and of course, the hits.  This album is full of a lot of laughs if you follow the lyrics and I like how Weird Al takes the hits and transforms them into his own.

Enjoy!
