Thank you! I couldn't place the other song! To me it comes across as a style parody of group sing-along charity singles, though it definitely has bits and pieces of WATW and HAA. I kept thinking of the Ramones song, which I know is a style parody in itself, so that wasn't helping me. :lol:

Anyway, this song's really good. The song got better as it went on. I especially liked the lines about Lars Ulrich and Tommy Chong. :lol: Between DDTS and YP, both of which I really enjoyed, I'm so excited for this album now!! :D

What's pathetic is that I was born in 1992 (about 6 years after Hands Across America happened) and I know what it is.

X* Yeah... sorry about that. My generation apologizes to yours.

Nope. No other spoilers. That's what the spoiler forum is for. I know it's tough to keep straight what's a spoiler and what's not a spoiler, but please try. However, if something accidentally gets posted here, use the report button and the moderators will get 'em! :@* If you need to quote the spoiler, please edit it out your quote. That will help. Thanks! :Y

Yay! What do I win? A twenty-volume set of the Enclyclopedia Brittanica? From 1986-1987. Meh... you keep it.

A sing-a-long in concert would be great!!

I didn't catch it till I was driving to work this morning. I was shocked, and offended. (J/k) Then I laughed really, really hard.

It's been blasting out of my car all morning. It's an easy song to sing along to, even if I only do it with the backgound singers (I don't want to drown out Al! ). I repeat, this is going to be his best ALbum YET!
Hmmm...something's gone horribly awry here...

The one thing I see being a problem is this is fodder for those people who were quick to rush out those "Al Hate's ITunes!" stories to support his "anti-download" status



Of course, get the joke, and have always gotten the context Al's original ITunes quote was in, but you know how some people are....
You have quickly thought up such matchless phrase?

Strange thing... I had this song on a constant loop for at least 90 minutes last evening, but the first song that popped into my head this morning was You're Pitiful.

I'm Pitiful.
This means something. This is important.

What a great song. I admit I'm a bit disapointed it wasnt the other romoured first single, but still a great taste of the new Album!!! definitely love the Tommy Chong line, and cheap bastard line. What a great live sing along it shall be.
