What the Hell Happened to Me? (Warner Bros., 1996) by Adam Sandler

I was first introduced to Adam Sandler's comedy right around the time of this album's release.  The fact that the album title had a curse word in the title intrigued me and knew I had to get it.  I didn't get it until a few years later, but when I did, I loved it and it seemed like everyone in Middle School knew the skits from the album by heart.  My favorite memory of the material is from 7th grade-our middle school class went to a science camp which was affiliated with a Christian group and even though our class' visit didn't focus on religion at all, the camp had its own staff and they clearly took a more conservative approach to things.  My friends adapted Sandler's "Respect" skit into something for a group project there and even though it was considerably edited, it was hilarious to us because we knew what they were "getting away" with.  Good times.  Adam Sandler's first four albums all have a lot of sentimental value to me, but his sophomore disc, What the Hell Happened to Me?, is my favorite.
