At the time of the recording, Adam Sandler was in the middle of his five-season career at
Saturday Night Live and much of this album was made with the help of his friends from the show. Besides Sandler, the album features fellow
SNL performers
Rob Schneider,
David Spade,
Chris Farley, and
Tim Meadows, as well as
SNL writers
Conan O'Brien,
Robert Smigel, and career writing partner
Tim Herlihy. The album was also produced by
G. E. Smith,
SNL's musical director at the time. Several friends of Sandler's also perform and co-write on the album, some of whom would go on to become recurring players in Sandler's films, most notably
Allen Covert. In addition to several non-musical skits, the album includes five songs, two of which were performed live (and previously were performed on
SNL: "The Thanksgiving Song" and "Lunchlady Land") at The Strand in
Redondo Beach, California on July 25, 1993, while "Food Innuendo Guy" is an uptempo
George Thorogood meets
Aerosmith-influenced blues rocker, "At a Medium Pace" is a sexually explicit love song, and "My Little Chicken" is a jazzy humorous number in which Sandler sings about his love for chickens. ==Reception==
