I died when I saw The Mecca Of Albino Squirrels. Maybe with a little editing I can make it say poodles...
TheMecca, who'll be on MS Paint ALL day...
EDIT: Well, I made a sign say "Home of the White Poodles" and then "UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT". I don't know where to post it though.

We should make a guide to Touring Across ALmerica before summer begins. A guide to all the Al-related places you have to visit.
Anyway, back to the song. I love this one. I'm glad Al didn't edit it down. And I'm very glad those punks came up to Al just to tell him they liked the song, rather than kill him.

Actually, I think there is. I think I remember seeing pictures one time.

I bet you there's more than just one. I've seen two or three.

I'm pretty sure they carved a drive way/road thru one of the sequioas in CA. It's the only tree large enough to do something like that.
Back to BBoTiM, I love the way this song is arranged in its production and instrumentation. Al doesn't credit anyone for that, so I'll just assume he's responsible.
I'd like to hear Bruce Springsteen cover this song. He's also skilled at the epic narrative.
It's easily in my top 5 all time favorite Al songs.

Everybody talks so highly about "Albuquerque" and "Genius in France." And while those are both awesome songs, I still think TBBOTIM holds the title of best epic Al song.

...GIF is "epic"? I think it's more of a... er... I dunno what genre to put it in.

It's epic in length. Not a narrative, but still a VERY long song for Al's standards.

It has layers of epic instrumental and vocal tracks. Like ogres, except that ogres (except Shrek and... if you saw "Shrek" you'd know) are ugly.
..Probably.
