Why, you ask, would anyone want to listen to this oddball variety of the usually simplistic comedy numbers written and performed by a handful of outrageous characters who are usually associated with poking fun at really lousy movies? Well, I dunno. I suppose because it’s a proverbial hoot. I also suppose one listening to this album would have to be a big fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000 in order to even care about these songs, which form one of the biggest recorded musical in-jokes ever pressed on CD (aside from whatever album Michael Jackson released most recently). Join orignal MST host Joel Hodgson, current host Mike Nelson, the lovable robots Crow, Tom Servo and Gypsy, and mad scientists Dr. Forrester and TV’s Frank as they warble, croon and sometimes croak their way through a variety of humorous tunes from various installments of the show. My favorites on this album have to be “Master Ninja Theme Song”, “Toobular Boobular Joy”, “Tribute To Pants”, and “The Greatest Frank Of All”, Much as I liked Joel and still do, I have to confess that after hearing nearly an hour of both hosts, Mike comes out as the better singer of the two. And as much as I liked TV’s Frank, I think his singing is mentioned in the Geneva Convention in the “please don’t” section, somewhere between chemical weapons and torture! If I have but a couple of tiny complaints, I would have liked a little more dialogue (a complaint I have never made before, because I normally cannot stand dialogue on soundtrack or music albums such as Apollo 13), and 
maybe the Torgo theme from the truly wretched movie Manos: The Hands of Fate, though I realize that’s not under their copyright. But these are minor nits to pick. If you too want to hear these particular voices in your head, you’ll need to order it through the MST 3000 Info Club (see the link below).
