Backed by a coterie of seasoned studio musicians, Sandler runs wild with a myriad of characters that uses different musical genres as an effective backdrop. "The Lonesome Kicker" is a dead-on Springsteen impression that promises to do for football what Cheech & Chong's "Basketball Jones" did for roundball. The prominent sitar that turns "Pickin' Daisies" into a clever slice of bubblegum pop features Sandler as both a wimpy son and his overprotective mother while the punky rant that is "Four Years Old" looks at life from a child's point of view. Before the album ends, Sandler tackles reggae on "Voodoo" and uses Ween's approach to country (authentic-sounding music paired with puerile lyrics) on "Zittly Van Zittles." Sandler wraps it all up with a nod to his Saturday Night Live past by resurrecting "Red Hooded Sweatshirt" as a hilarious ode to a favored garment.
