I keep hoping this is another song that will grow on me on repeat listenings, but when a song like this clocks in at nine minutes I start to doubt my time and patience for that to happen. I do appreciate how the narrator's thoughts get progressively more insane and disturbing throughout the song and some of those lyrics are quite funny, but right now I largely feel as if the song meanders too much and isn't quite as ambitious as some of his other epic album closers. Hopefully, this opinion will change soon enough.

For me, it's already earned it's spot as my second-favorite long song (just behind Twine Ball). The story is actually very sad and touching in a way, which is odd for an Al song. And I love left turns many of the jokes take. It reminds me of Emo Philips and Tim Minchin, two comedians that I absolutely love.

Definitely my favorite original song on this album. I laughed so hard at "I like your boobs". I hope Al plays this in concert.

I absolutely love this song! It was definitely a very different direction than I thought it would go in, but I love the twisted love song theme, and it's just fantastic musically. I think this one will only continue to grow on me.

I wonder if Al based this song on a real experience. Including the demented fantasies.

I think it's a pretty safe bet that at one point or another in Al's life, he

looked down at a woman's shirt in a way that says, "I like your boobs."

Who'd have thought that this would be our twisted love song? It was totally different than what I expected, but I suspect that I'll come to love it after listening to it more.

I imagine the narrator of this song as

Spoiler:

a real creep who's making up all of the body language on the girl's end. Also, the girl hasn't taken her driver's test yet, so odds are he's guessing her age around sixteen.

I really like it. It's hilarious and I find it satisfying in musical sense, so it's no problem to listen to it for 9 minutes.
But the "I want to rip you wide open and french kiss your internal organs" line must be creepiest thing Al EVER said in a song. I can't help visualizing it and then frowning everytime
