Editorial/Description:Amazon.com: A handful of contemporary movies have whimsically looked back at the '80s. Various bands have borrowed from the time period's musical trends with a tongue-in-cheek attitude. But Weird Al was busy sending up that decade while it was still happening. On Dare to Be Stupid, Yankovic parodies, among other things, smash hits by two reigning divas of yore. "Like A Surgeon" turns Madonna's song into an inexperienced doctor's first-person account of his, uh, practice. Weird Al's version of a certain Cyndi Lauper hit proclaims, "Girls Just Want to Have Lunch." In this loony world, the object of desire in "I Want a New Drug" is transformed into a duck. On "Yoda," Yankovic targets the Kinks' early '70s hit, "Lola." Who else but Weird Al would turn a song about sexual identity and confusion into a tune about George Lucas's "wrinkled and green" creature? --Fred Cisterna

Customer Reviews:
Are you stupid?
January 2, 2009
This album is exactly 37 minutes long and was released on June 18, 1985. The song Like A Surgeon reached #47 on the charts. The other songs like One More Minute and Yoda are great. This Is The Life is the only original song on the CD and was used in the movie Johnny Dangerously. If you like artist poking fun at other peoples music, then this is for you.
You'd be stupid not to
April 6, 2008
This and in 3-D are by far Weird Al's best albums.
Yoda is such a classic parody peice, that it alone is worth owning a copy, but the rest are just as good.
Dare To Be Entertained
July 3, 2007
"Dare To Be Stupid" is classic "Weird" Al. It has pop favorites "Like A Surgeon" and "Girls Just Want To Have Lunch," but Al shows his genius with "Dare to be Stupid," "Yoda," and the tremendously creative "One More Minute." This is a CD that every "Weird" Al Yankovic fan should have.
If you only want one Weird Al CD then this is the one to get
May 13, 2007
Many people -including me - consider "Dare To Be Stupid" to be Weird Al's best work to date (as of 2007).
5 stars for the five songs i've heard
January 14, 2007
I only have heard five songs here we go
Like A Surgeon had me laughing hard.
Dare To Be Stupid is very peculiar.
Yoda is good and catchy.
One More Minute is a good slow song.
This Is The Life is a 50's song.
