John Flansburgh, best known for his work with They Might Be Giants, gives disco a go with Monopuff. Unfortunately, "It's Fun To Steal" is neither clever enough to function as a sendup, nor engaging enough to say anything fresh about the genre. "Extra Krispy" and "Poison Flowers" are fun, but much of the rest won't even appeal to TMBG fans.
