Update: #29.

I hope this means Al has another top 10 hit in his future.

Top Ramen, need top ramen.
You want it, I got it, go get it, just heat it.

Government cheese!
Pork and beans and minute rice
You should know I'm really quite a sweet guy.
You can even have the last slice!

4am.. I probably should go to bed.
I don't care.
No I don't care, I don't care, I don't caaaaaaaaaaare.
I'm-a do the things that I want to do, I ain't got a thing to prove to you.
I'll eat my candy with the pork and beans and minute rice.

A one-off song, especially if Al's contract still has him getting paid less for iTunes sales than for CDs, probably wouldn't justify the cost.

Yeah, probably not a regular live-action video like W&N... but I could see a nice animated video done for it officially. I'm guessing that's a lot cheaper and it frees up Al's time to work on the next song.

Thanks. I swear I kept staring at my screen going "is that even in English?!"

Is anyone else finidng this song really difficult to learn? I can't remember the lyrics, even when I'm singing along with it. I know the general spirit of what's being said in each of the parts, but I can't quite remember the exact words - maybe because of the lousy beat and the way the lyrics don't really fit the beat too well. W&N was far easier to remember by comparison.

I'm a guy who has a keen memory for memorizing song lyrics, even if I'm not trying to. I have these down okay so far, but then again I've only heard it a few times. (As I said before, I don't want it to get "old" too fast.)

Yeah, I've been having a hard time too! (And I've listened to it at least more than one hundred times now) I know what's coming up next, but I can't get the exact lyrics down right, it's really kinda annoying...(mabye Al planned it that way, yet again another conspiracy against WOWAY

)

I listened to it lots and some of the words just escape my brain very easily. It's very hard to memorize.
