===Production\Recording=== "Music Is Better Than Words" includes songs from Rodgers and Hammerstein and Lerner and Loewe, among others from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. The track listing was chosen by MacFarlane. When Universal Republic Records asked MacFarlane what kind of album he wanted to do, he said, ''"a classic Sinatra-style album".'' The album was in fact recorded at Capitol Records in the same room in which Sinatra had worked. Moreover, MacFarlane recorded the vocals for the album with the microphone that Sinatra used on many of his classic albums. In an interview with Joseph Llanes from AOL, MacFarlane said: ''"That mic is over 60 years old and you can see it. But it has a really nice, dark sound to it. It really plays a significant part on how this stuff sounds. You don't want it to sound too crisp. We did a lot in the recording of this album to make sure it was not too perfect. We recorded to analog tape as opposed to recording digitally because we wanted a little bit of a hiss."''
