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.

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. Between DDTS and YP, both of which I really enjoyed, I'm so excited for this album now!!

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

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.

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!!

Dave

I liked the song too.

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.

wow, i dont hear it.

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!

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....

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.

i love the song. me and my brother (i believe) were the first to listen to it. i feel so special.

here is the proof:Right Here.

Now, look at his screen CAP lower left corner youll have to link it off the origianl post........(waiting for you to look)...........LIMEWIRE!!!! You HOOLIGAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't Al teach you anything?

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.
