Album Description

Chevy Chase released a self-titled solo comedy/music album in 1980, as well as being heavily featured on several National Lampoon comedy albums in the 1970s.

Solo Album

Chevy Chase released one solo album, the self-titled Chevy Chase, in 1980 on the Arista label.

Content: The album primarily features musical parodies of popular songs, with Chase providing comedic lyrics and sound effects.
Track Highlights: Notable tracks include parodies of Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff", the Beatles' "Let It Be" (sung in a "chipmunk voice" according to Vulture), and Randy Newman's "Short People".
Reception: Reviewers from outlets like Vulture and Witchdoctor.co.nz generally found the album's humor to be flat and considered it a critical failure, despite the involvement of respected session musicians.
