As soon as the first few notes hit, I instantly knew this was a Hanson style parody, and I only know like 2 or 3 Hanson songs. The beginning reminded me of "Where's The Love". I can't wait to hear Dana's take on this. Anyway I thought the lyrics were really clever and I was laughing out loud at quite a few of them. And maybe even I can relate to few.... Really though, Al hit a home run with this one. I can see it making its way onto a lot of people's top 10 lists easily.

I think this song borrows heavily from Confessions III but it's more enjoyable to listen to

Re: (spoiler) If That Isn't Love
I think it says a lot about my sh*tty life that it took 3 or four listens to work out that the guy was a bit half hearted about his relationship. I thought "aww how romantic.. how is it funny?" LOL

I love Al's twisted love songs, and this is a great addition to the collection. Really, really funny and captures Hansen's style perfectly.

It doesn't involve death, but I'd say this is right up there with Christmas At Ground Zero in levels of grimdark.
It doesn't matter if I do things for a reason, or on a W-H-I-M... Just stand back and enjoy the show, cuz baby, I perform this way!

Um....temp
I need to fess up: When I first heard this was a Hanson style parody, my immediate reaction was "Does Hanson have a style to parody?".
I mean no disrespect to Hanson (A sentence I never thought I'd say in 1997 ). While I'm still cold to them, I respect them for what they've been able to build off of a career which the music industry pretty much left for dead by the late 90s/early 00s, and they're starting to get the respect they've earned for it. Good for them
But yeah, like I said, I didn't know how it would translate to being "style parodied". That being said, with what little knowledge I have of Hanson outside of the song that shall not be named (The other early hits and the last couple songs that for all intents and purposes, put them back on the map in most people's minds), I was able to see it, and what that style was and how this worked. And it worked perfectly.

You have quickly thought up such matchless phrase?
