Huh?

But the lyrics are another story. :puke:

That seems intriguing, though some of the sequencing seems a little odd. Maybe I'll try it out.

I don't get why PJ received so much flack for Bushleaguer when they have a song that's explicitly telling people to move towards a Republican agenda

I love the lyrics to "Get Right" -- a few awkwardly worded phrases perhaps, but I think the sort of neurotic, stream-of-consciousness writing style fits the rambling feel of the delivery. I honestly wouldn't change anything about that song.

Is it wrong that I like Get Right, Help Help, Can't Keep, Green Disease, and Ghost more than Cropduster?
