Party at the Leaper Colony? Is this a song about the magical land where I get a birthday every day instead of every 4 years? (See cause I was born on February 29th, get it?)

I just listened to American Slob and it's definitely among Al's better early works. He channels Tom Lehrer in this one very effectively.

Something about it reminds me of some of the early Sesame Street songs. I can even picture a Muppet walking down a street singing the song to random other Muppets as he goes.

Wow...I should visit WOWAY more often! It's not every day a rare song surfaces to the public...and what a recording, too! It sounds *GOOD!* Wow...all we need now is Orgy on My Own to top this one. :P

Yo, Nate! What impressed me is the quality of the recording above anything else. It also reminds me of one of Jace's songs for some reason.

I really enjoy this song. I always love it when Al throws in a vocabulary word that would normally never show up in a song, and this song is full of those!
