For some reason the first thing that came to mind was the folk song "Casey Jones", about the train conductor determined to get to his destination on time despite all the obstacles that come his way and --spoiler alert-- dies in the process. JPE could be a modern (and of course, funnier) retelling of that song. Someone already mentioned JPE could be sung from the POV of the bus driver, so I definitely think that's possible. (ARTB was already done from the POV of the bus RIDER, so why not a song through the driver's eyes?)

I like this idea. It would be a lot of fun!

Total piece of speculation that just came to me: What if this song is a style parody of Arlo Guthrie? Particularly, Alice's Restaurant, his 18-minute long track?

Well, he ended his first album with a style parody of Alice's Restaurant, why not do the same for his last?

Frump is a style parody?

Yes, I pulled it up on YouTube yesterday, and the guitar music is the same riff Al used on the accordion on that song

Oh weird, it totally is! You learn something new about Weird Al every day.

I just learned about it two days ago. As well as many of the others listed in that big parody thread!

Can you imagine 18 minutes of Mr. Frump?

[Elvis]

I never knew that either. Cool!

Wow, I could've sworn that this place is exactly where I learned about Alice's Restaurant, years ago. Someone else must have brought this up, at some point!

It's in TheLazenby's Ultimate Parody Guide, which I've been using for my timeline project.
