I would agree chocol8. This a great tune and it proves Al's adeptitude as a comedic wordsmith. My only bone comes from how edgy it is. Over the last decade, Al's humor has evolved into something that would probably make the Al of 20 years ago bristle. Maybe he did it to prove that he could be edgy. Maybe he did it to survive in the current state of desensitization that we live in. We have kids under age 6 laughing at Cow and Chicken, tell me that show wasn't the work of a desensitized freak? A decade ago, I thought Headline News was an edgy tune but time marches on and tastes somehow evolve and it isn't always for the better. To be current on this playing field, I guess the edge must be sharpened. Overall, this is a funny song and I think Al has made his point that he can stay current no matter what the current musical tastes are. In the end, I yearn for nostalgia but it seems only fruitless.
