"Weird Al" Yankovic | Even Worse (CD)

''Even Worse'' is the fifth album by "Weird Al" Yankovic, released in 1988. The name and cover of the album are direct parodies of Michael Jackson's ''Bad''.

This album, like ''Polka Party!'' before it, themed all but one of its parodies. On this album, all but one of the parodies were of popular songs which had then-recently been made (two of the songs originated with Tommy James and the Shondells). In addition, ''Even Worse'' has the distinction of being one of two albums by "Weird Al" Yankovic not to have any polka renditions of pop songs or medleys; ''"Weird Al" Yankovic'', released five years earlier, is the other.

After the commercial failure of ''Polka Party!'', ''Even Worse'' helped to repopularize Yankovic. The album was later certified Platinum by the RIAA. The album's first single, "Fat," was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Recording in 1989.
