I love the song. The music freaking rocks, his vocals are top notch and the lyrics are a great return to his "random, pop culture absurdity" form that was lacking from all the other internet leaks.
I can see why some wouldn't like it very much, but for me it's definitely up there with Craigslist as a great style parody with humour to match.
Ranking of the internet leaks thus far:
1. Craigslist
2. CNR
3. Skipper Dan
2342. Whatever You Like.

Great song and video. Much better JJ effort than DICYO. My only complaint was there was no Brett Somers reference in the song, as the two of them were always at each other's throats (all in fun, of course) on Match Game.
Craigslist is still my fave of the IL, I think, but this comes in a very close second. Craigslist was the best musically, and Skipper Dan had the best premise, but neither of them were really all that laugh-out-loud funny. CNR is wilder and funnier than the other two. (Still give Craigslist the edge, though, since Al really hit The Doors style-parody out of the park.)
But yeah...the third nipple thing in the video. Gross.

I love it! Do I dare I say it's better than Craiglist? I just might! I wouldn't have a problem if JibJab did all of Al's animated videos. They always do a good job. And speaking of the third nipple mrmeadows, the video froze up on that spot on my computer for a few minutes. Pretty gross but it made me laugh.

I thought the song, and the video, were great, i probably wouldn't understand the song if there was no video, since I didn't know who CNR was before the song came out, I was up until like 1 last night waiting for the video to get on youtube, since I have like 47 cents left on itunes, the video is really different from anything I have seen before, it looks like a lot of time, and money, were spent making it

That's completely missing the point of the song so bad it's astounding.
