Wanna B Ur Lovr

[just2good]

Orgy on My Own, Jerry Springer, Love to a Bottle, and even some polkas (AP for the feel you from the inside part, HRP for sex and sex and sex). Oh and TNSWC.

[Killingsworth]

I always thought "Polka Your Eyes Out" was his edgiest polka due to the sheer volume of sexually charged songs.

I ran a poll on this in 2003 which you can find here.

As you can see, Al's released several more songs since then, we only were allowed ten options for the polls back then, the results were lost in one of WOWAY's great data outages, and it's nowhere as awesome as my legendary "Favorite Head" poll.

But it's worth seeing where the discussion was back then.

I forgot about "Trigger Happy". That one could be edgy not just because of the violence, but because one could easily listen to it and see it as Al making some big gun control statement. The only thing that really makes TNSWC edgy is the fact that it is a Christmas sing paired with such gruesome violence. Obviously, "Christmas At Ground Zero" wasn't widely considered as edgy until twelve years ago.

As for my list, I thought about including "Melanie" until I realized the only "edgy" lyrics were the shower ones and the rest was was just standard Al silliness. I never really considered any of his songs from the '80s edgy at all. I would've included "TMZ" if it didn't breach a lot of the same subject matter as "Springer" and "Talk Soup" before it. The only thing that could make "TMZ" considered edgy is that the fact that it's an early period Taylor Swift parody from a relatively more "innocent" point in her career.
