Kinda looks like Bob Dole, but that wouldn't make sense.

wow...i finally got a chance to see/hear this one and, you're right...it is a "one joke beat into the ground" type song...but still, just like 3 out of 5 of these leaks, I just have to let them grow on me...lyrically, nothing stands out, but I did chuckle at the second verse...and the video isn't bad, second only to CNR...oops, that reminds me...my rankings if the videos....

1. CNR
2. Ringtone
3. Craigslist
4. Skipper Dan

For some reason the funny of the song is its exaggeration to me.

On Rolling Stone:

The clip was co-directed by Dustin McLean, the guy behind the “literal song” videos from Current TV.

Dustin McLean is *the* Dusto McNeato?!! I DID NOT KNOW THAT! Does Al have an electromagnet that attracts whatever is AWESOME in the universe?! If you don't know what the literal videos are, please don't talk to me until after you've seen at least one of these

Great song, musically. But lyrically... it definitely falls short :( It's just not funny... like... at all...

I love the guitar solo though!

EDIT: I just watched the video now (I listened to just the song first, silly me!) and it's a lot funnier now!
Also, it has the CNR style of just.... ending. There's a great song going on, and then next thing you know, it's over!
