Reposting this review from the spoiler forum since not everyone reads it:
For me, this song is the weakest of all the Internet Leaks. It's just a bunch of random nonsense, like "Nobody Here But Us Frogs". The music is great, but the lyrics....eh. Rather boring and pointless, in my opinion. This will probably be a lot like "Party at the Leper Colony" or "Callin' In Sick" for me - I'll listen to the instrumental track a lot more than I'll listen to the full song.
However, I do have to say that the video is fantastic! In terms of enhancing the experience of the song, I'd have to say that this video does that better than any of the other Internet Leaks, and even better than all the SOL animated videos.
But yeah, weak song in my opinion.
And now that we have four, I think it's time to begin ranking the Internet Leaks:
1. Craigslist
2. Skipper Dan
3. Whatever You Like
4. CNR
Knowing how Al works, I'm betting that the fifth Internet Leak (and last one of this group) will be the best one so far.
And I don't think that knowing a bunch of stuff about CNR helps that much with appreciating this song. I know who CNR is and I've seen Match Game many times. And actually, I love the song What Would Brian Boitano Do from South Park, which is simimlar to this in content. And I know practically nothing about Brian Boitano. So knowing or not knowing the subject of the song isn't that important in this particular case. I think the difference between the two songs is purely the quality of the jokes. Sorry, but this one just didn't hold up lyrically.
