Editorial Review:
Among his Saturday Night Live peers--Chris Rock, Chris Farley, David Spade--Adam Sandler has always been the most musically inclined. It's only natural then that the creator of Opera Man and "The Hanukkah Song" would record What's Your Name, an entirely song-based, and often hilarious, musical parody record. The album's first song commences with one of Sandler's trademark nonsense words--a menacing "Schnoin!"--then goes on to tell the tale of a neighborly old man whose hobby is "Moyda" (or murder). There's also two spot-on snipes at Bruce Springsteen, "The Lonesome Kicker" and "Listenin' to the Radio," and one of the most unsettling dance-floor throw downs you'll ever hear--the P-Funk meets Ween booty-shake of "Dance Like You Just Shit Your Pants." Sandler ransacks just about every musical genre known to western humanity, but it's his unrepentant immaturity, more than his chops, that's sure to make What's Your Name a junior high school bus classic for years to come. --Matt Hanks
What's Your Name Reviews:

adam sandler at his musical best
2007-01-11 - I have not heard this CD but when I heard it I was impressed by Adam's musical talent
blah
2005-04-17 - People are complaining about this cd being all songs. Well, what is wrong with that...the guy was always singing songs anyway. People obviously haven't listened to the lyrics if you claim that there is nothing funny on the cd. Hell, one of the songs is an old favorite from SNL called RED HOODED SWEATSHIRT..just retouched for the radio audience. You people sicken me. This cd is gold. It's both funny, and just a great sounding cd. I was surpised how well Listening to the Radio works as song without or without the comedy element. But forget creativity...the people complaining just wants skits...sorry..I always like the songs better than the skits anyway.
This is good music
2005-01-27 - I got this album way back, and although I liked the songs then, I didn't really appreciate it. Since then, after I "discovered" Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, B.B. King, Sara McLaughlin, and more, I had a gained a much deeper appreciation for music, and for those artists who are able to make you feel what they feel when they wrote, sang, or played their music. Listening to this album now, it's obvious to me that Sandler has the same quality as well, the ability to express himself nakedly in his music. The humor might somewhat obscure that quality, but it's there if you pay attention.
That's not to say they're aren't silly songs meant to get cheap laughs. Most of them are. However, a couple of gems like "Corduroy Blues" and especially (especially) "Listenin' to the Radio" reveal Sandler to be the artist he really is.
