The cover sleeve is a spoof on the movie poster of the hit movie Jurassic Park. The name is a parody of the music festival Lollapalooza.
After his successful album "Off the Deep End", Yankovic decided to return to the studio in 1992. The main reason why he decided to record a new album so close to the release of another album, was due to the state of the as-of-then unreleased track "Waffle King" (which technically had been released on the "Smells Like Nirvana" single). This time, instead of doing one of his traditional polka medleys, Yankovic decided to do a single song polka which was composed completely of "Bohemian Rhapsody" (This was most likely done due to the songs increased popularity after the hit movie "Wayne's World" re-energized its playing on the radio. Others have speculated that it was done as a tribute to the then recently deceased Freddie Mercury).
