Am I the only one who heard the Express Yourself line during the first listen?

Seems a lot of veteran Al fans didn't even discover it until later

"Express yourself" is actually pretty easy to catch, but I didn't hear it until someone on the forum pointed it out.

It's that kind of subtlety that makes Weird Al so appealing in the first place.
How old was that last signature? I mean, really?

Quick iTunes comedy chart update:

#3 in USA and Canada (so it moved up a notch) and #5 in Australia (up one as well).
