Alright, the pit stains on your blouse line, that is disturbingly hilarious.

Yankomaniac, I think it is Mohel. Remember Seinfeld? Elaine: "Am I a good mohel finder??"

And, the song about the dentist..."Drill me, fill me, bill me." Hear tell Al brought his very own dentist into the studio with a drill and a real human tooth to record, and then Al took a turn at the drill. (Al: [maniacal laughter]). Wow! That was hard to punctuate.
"First of all, I don't particularly MIND the rabid wolverine in my underwear...."

"I was not shocked by the power of the Internet," he said. "I was counting on it."

When I was younger, I found "You Don't Love Me Anymore" VERY disturbing, especially after seeing the music video, but now I find it hilarious!

Oh man, that video, so great. Steve eating the meat is my favorite part. Jim getting knocked off the stool when Al smashes the guitar should make anybody with a brain laugh. :D

Good Old Days-My favorite Al song. The Taylor-esque happiness juxtaposed with torturing rats and arson

"Fun Zone".

Not a lot of people know this, but it originally had lyrics. Similar to "Christmas At Ground Zero" and "Good Old Days", it was happy music set against horrifying images. Alas, in this case, the chosen lyrics were found to be so disturbing that the studio opted to release the song on album as an instrumental instead. They couldn't toss the song altogether, they'd made an investment.

The song as originally performed, with lyrics intact, is not available online, but the lyrics themselves are. I've presented them below for anyone curious:
Spoiler:
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Was originally supposed to be named "Welcome To The Fun Zone". Believe he said at one time if he had to pick one of his own songs for his own memorial ceremony it would be this one.

I can't stand the line from 'Callin' In Sick': 'Maybe I'll make a huge coloured tapestry from my bellybutton lint'. Makes me feel sick! I can't stand belly buttons! :lol:

However, it's still one of my favourite songs! :accordion:
