yeah, the phrase 'trash day' is only in the song once, it's possible the title for this new song is similar

True. In recent years, it has been rare for Al to make the chorus hook the actual title. Not doing so helps preserve the freshness of the joke on the first listen.

Yes, as we've already pointed out in this thread twice.

C'mon, we need some new info! This thread is already getting redundant!

BTW, the word "world" is only one syllable, not two.

That'd be too similar to a song called "Don't Steal This Song" which already exists.

I'll sue you could be the main theme referring to things he could get sued for

don't download this song is one of the segments, being a parody of we are the world if we are right

If those 2 titles are correct, I'd imagine "I'll Sue You" and "Don't Download This Song" would be seperate. I'll Sue You was a rumor so long ago that it would have to be an original. And I'd like to think that song would probably be about society's mindset of suing people just to get money (McDonalds coffee, anyone?)

Also, I just love the title "Don't Download This Song" cause with a title like that, it'll probably be the top downloaded song of 2006. :P

I just can't see it...the song is old, the idea is old...Al is more of a trendsetter than that...even the little crappy town I live in parodied that song a million years ago..."we are Slave Lake...we need a pool"...oh it was sad...so very very sad...

But I've been wrong before... :blink:
