I Remember Larry
I really don't understand this song. It seems to me like it's only purpose it to conceal the "hidden" backwards message. It's really not that funny, it ends up the way many other funnier Al songs do, and it doesn't really make me want to get up and dance (Not that I would anyway :lookround: Ahem) I don't mean to be beating up on the song it's just that I never understood why it's there, or why I never really see it talked about.

It does seem like an anomoly. It's not that funny, it's really just about revenge. I like Al's vocal -- seems kind of sweet -- it contrasts with the content of the lyric.
Upon first hearing it, it made me a bit uncomfortable because I knew people like Larry -- I just haven't gotten around to killing them yet :lookround: With any luck someone else has, or maybe they're just in prison now.

M3, in this thread
I don't know if the link still works, but it's kinda cool if you can get to it.
If you DO wanna listen to it, a LOW quality WAV is availible here:

I don't know if I get in trouble for that, it's not a full song, but if it's not suppose to be posted, let me know.

Does the music & vocal of this song remind anyone else a little of the Monkees?
This song kind of makes a companion piece to "I Was Only Kidding"-- they both go on pretending that it's all good fun as it becomes clear that it's not ("Baby, won't you put down that gun?"). The victim of Larry's practical jokes keeps on saying how hilarious this all is, what a good joke, hey what a funny guy. . . and if that stuff is humorous, then of course by that standard the murder that follows must be just that much funnier. This is one of those gruesome songs that's coming out of a heart of compassion (and probably written by someone who was on the wrong end of a few practical jokes himself when he was young).
