4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

Wow! When I saw this thread had three pages already, I thought it would be full of people bashing Phony Calls! The song is very underrated, IMO. I really like the song. It's one of the better parodies on BHD, actually. Although, it would have been great to hear Al do a Left-Eye style rap solo, but the use of the Simpsons clip in that part was brilliantly inspired! I also love the way Al sings "Listen to me" in that nasal voice just like it is in the originals. The only complaint I have about the parody is that some of instrumental parts are missing (as usual in Al's parodies).

Nope. Just me. |) But hey, this song is my defense against the "oh you just love everything Al does." Like that's a bad thing, or something... :rolleyes:

For those who don't know, that call to Moe's is in the ep Blood Feud.


Now you know, and knowing is half the battle
You have quickly thought up such matchless phrase?

For those fans who have to have everything, you can find "Blood Feud" on the Simpsons: Complete Second Season set.

[MODEdit: Keep it on topic please!]

"Phony Calls" is pretty good. I wish Al kept that short instrumental part before the vocals start (with the synths and the beat).
