Cover art for Strapped for Cash lyrics by Fountains of Wayne

The epitome of FoW:

So I headed out west to invest in the races All the goddamn horses kept falling on their faces

This is such a great verse, and perfectly describes how silly their songs are. Pure comedy.

it is funny, but simply i think the point of that verse is that nothings going the guys way, i dont think theyre just a comedy band they have substance behind their lyrics
