"Idiot boyfriend" is the second-best Prince parody ever, after Beck's "Debra." Who would have expected a falsetto groove from Jimmy Fallon, winsome and floppy-haired news reader on Saturday Night Live? On his debut album, Fallon performs comic songs with clever lyrics and totally credible backing music: punk on "Snowball," country rock on "Drinking in the Woods," Seventies-style funk on "(I Can't Play) Basketball." The funniest line is on "Road Rage": "If honking my horn don't get your attention/I'll stick my fist up your ass like my name was Jim Henson." Unfortunately, Fallon came up with only fifteen minutes' worth of songs; the rest of the album is padded out with lame stand-up on college life (the fridges are small!), celebrity impressions and troll dolls.
