That's because the real line is " n' now that girl is gaggin'" but it sounds like another girl is gaggin...

Oh, never mind. I just feel better knowing that Al didn't write the dumb line that I heard, just because it fit even if it didn't make sense.


Well, it is written in that teeny-tiny 5-point type, so I guess we can let you off the hook this time. :choon:

I figured I'd get heat for that....



Look, I imagine asking me to rank favorite Al songs is a lot like asking a parent to rank their favorite children. In reality, you can't do it because you love them all almost equally! But someone HAD to ask...!



One of the main criteria I used when ranking the above songs was the "sing-along" factor. I ranked the ones I enjoy singing along to on long drives a little higher than other ones. Frankly, I think "Hardware Store" is perhaps the most difficult song ever of Al's for me to properly sing along to. I do recognize the genius of the arrangement, but it's just too gosh-durn fast for me. Also, I feel like there should be one more "real" verse in there somewhere....it just doesn't quite end properly for me. Low joke content hurt it, too.



Again, I think the song is great! I just enjoy the others better.

PS: If I had made this list 2 weeks ago, I might have put HS above WBUL and P@TLC. . .but those two songs have REALLY grown on me in the past couple of weeks! They ended up just squeezing past HS!
