Ok, what I HEAR for that is "providing our supply chain with diversity". But I have no idea if that's right.

I hated this song at first. It's not at all funny but it's an amazing piece of music if you ask me. Very unique for Al

Not sure if this has already been brought up on this topic, but Al confirmed in an interview that this is a CSN(Y) style parody. Although I'm pretty we we've all already established that.

Spoiler:
This is pretty clear-cut based on the "do-do-do-do-do" background vocals at the end. I love this one. Brilliant idea to use CSNY (known for their poetic, sometimes political lyrics) to deliver a company's mission statement in typical cold, unfeeling biz-speak language. Lyrics are not inherently funny, but the joke is the juxtaposition of the style-parody target and the hard-hearted business world.
This is one of the sharpest social satires Al has ever recorded.

I can't remember - which song is that from. I know I've heard it, but can't put my finger on it.

It's from "Judy Blue Eyes". It's in the final section of the song. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suite:_Judy_Blue_Eyes" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
