Re: Least Favorite Song
After a week of listens my least favorites are Lame Claim To Fame (but the video is outstanding) and Jackson Park Express because it's 9 minutes long and no part of it is catchy.

Re: Least Favorite Song
Guys, the concert-exclusive verse of My Own Eyes just leaked! What do you think?Just a Bill wrote: I saw a weasel buying Nair
I saw a zombie spank his mama
I saw a penguin shoot a bear
Outside the office of Obama
I saw a woman at the vet
Her hands and feet were made of leather
She cashed her saving bonds to get
An interview with Jarrett Heather
I saw a skinny hippo
Singing end-to-end protestations to a bat
I probably could've gone my whole life without seeing that
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!

So I guess the lesson here is, what? ... I can write comedy but I can't read it? Talk about killing my own argument.PlayAWarGame wrote:Guys, the concert-exclusive verse of My Own Eyes just leaked! What do you think?
Oh well, maybe with some luck I'm still welcome at the Star Trek convention.

Re: Least Favorite Song
It's 'Mission Statement' for me. I understand the humor of the song, but as a listening experience, it just doesn't grab me. It meanders too much through the lyrics. Like John Cage's 4'33", I respect the intent, but that doesn't mean I'm going to sit through it every time. It's not an 'skip-it-nearly-every-time' like 'Airline Amy,' but it is my least favorite. 'Handy' would be second.

Not even "Ooh, mama! What is that deodorant your wearing? It's intoxicating..."? Part of me wished more parts of Jackson Express were like that.weird_el wrote:After a week of listens my least favorites are Lame Claim To Fame (but the video is outstanding) and Jackson Park Express because it's 9 minutes long and no part of it is catchy.

Re: Least Favorite Song
that's a good point about JPE not being catchy. I think that's what contributes to me not being able to fall in love with it. musically it's just not that interesting of a song.
taste is only something if it is yours.

Some people don't like the songs at all...
Man, some people just can't take a joke, y'know?
(those are the parodies only )

And here I thought people were only throwing a fit about "Word Crimes."

Re: Least Favorite Song
I actually kind of wondered if someone would bring up the inhaler line in "Inactive" as being "insensitive". People were already whining about "Word Crimes" being "bullying", so was surprised the asthma thing didn't come up. Maybe because it's one of the lesser songs on the album. As someone already wondered in a different thread, I wonder if Al could even get away with releasing "Fat" these days without being called a bully.
