Review

Pull My Finger, Vol. 3: Smelly Holidays pits yuletide festiveness against unholy flatulence by adding sampled fart sounds to canned instrumental versions of many holiday classics. The result is humorous for the first 20 seconds, but, in the long run, even the most enthusiastic flatulist will find igniting his own farts a more enjoyable diversion. A couple of the tunes do manage to show some genuine "creativity" though: Tchaikovsky's Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies gets defiled in "Sugarplum Farties," with the various squibs providing high contrast to the familiar tinkling celeste melody, and "We Wish You a Smelly Xmas" bursts forth with a pompous bravado that, dare it be said, sounds almost regal. Whether this album is an impressive exercise in creative audio editing or a tasteless gross-out session is entirely up to the individual consumer. Those with weak stomachs -- or deep respect for classical composers -- may find this stuff a little too much to take. ~ J. Scott McClintock, Rovi
