quote: Cows With Guns - Dana Lyons Fat and docile, big and dumb They look so stupid, they aren't much fun Cows aren't fun
They eat to grow, grow to die Die to be et at the hamburger fry Cows well done
Nobody thunk it, nobody knew No one imagined the great cow guru Cows are one
He hid in the forest, read books with great zeal He loved Che Guevera, a revolutionary veal Cow Se Tongue
He spoke about justice, but nobody stirred He felt like an outcast, alone in the herd Cow doldrums
He mooed we must fight, escape or we'll die Cows gathered around, cause the steaks were so high Bad cow pun
But then he was captured, stuffed into a crate Loaded onto a truck, where he rode to his fate Cows are bummed
He was a scrawny calf, who looked rather woozy No one suspected he was packing an Uzi Cows with guns
They came with a needle to stick in his thigh He kicked for the groin, he pissed in their eye Cow well hung
Knocked over a tractor and ran for the door Six gallons of gas flowed out on the floor Run cows run!
He picked up a bullhorn and jumped up on the hay We are free roving bovines, we run free today We will fight for bovine freedom And hold our large heads high We will run free with the Buffalo, or die Cows with guns
They crashed the gate in a great stampede Tipped over a milk truck, torched all the feed Cows have fun
Sixty police cars were piled in a heap Covered in cow pies, covered up deep Much cow dung
Black smoke rising, darkening the day Twelve burning McDonalds, have it your way The President said "enough is enough These uppity cattle, its time to get tough" Cow dung flung
The newspapers gloated, folks sighed with relief Tomorrow at noon, they would all be ground beef Cows on buns
The cows were surrounded, they waited and prayed They mooed their last moos, they chewed their last hay Cows outgunned
The order was given to turn cows to whoppers Enforced by the might of ten thousand coppers But on the horizon surrounding the shoppers Came the deafening roar of chickens in choppers
quote: We praise the colorectal surgeon Misunderstood and much maligned Slaving away in the heart of darkness Working where the sun don't shine Respect the colorectal surgeon It's a calling few would crave Lift up your hands and join us Let's all do the finger wave
When it comes to spreading joy There are many techniques Some spread joy to the world And others just spread cheeks Some may think the cardiologist Is their best friend But the colorectal surgeon knows... He'll get you in the end!
Why be a colorectal surgeon? It's one of those mysterious things. Is it because in that profession There are always openings?
When I first met a colorectal surgeon He did not quite understand; I said, "Hey nice to meet you But do you mind? We don't shake hands."
He sailed right through medical school Because he was a whiz Oh but he never thought of psychology Though he read passages. A doctor he wanted to be For golf he loved to play, But this is not quite what he meant... By eighteen holes a day!
Praise the colorectal surgeon Misunderstood and much maligned Slaving away in the heart of darkness Working where the sun don't shine!

Slender Fungus - Tones on Tail
Love and hope and sex and dreams Pride and joy, fast cars, ice cream Jet black hair, soft socks and shoes Let's fish around, free air again Golden madness, feed off dead meat Time not lost, but sold white teeth We want victory, we want truth A million stars move into view
Slender fungus was a disc of shiny concrete Slender fungus was a disc, a shiny ball of meat Slender fungus sucks the toes that linger round your feet Slender fungus eats in bed before he goes to sleep
Feeling good here in the rain Worms dancing, dancing in your veins I am you but you're not me Bitter dolls, these always free Dance 'til it hurts, in a midnight glow Truth is simple, can't ever say no Flames fly higher, look up the moon Watching demons again, neither are you
Slender fungus was a disc of shiny concrete Slender fungus was a disc, a shiny ball of meat Slender fungus kissed a fish inside a stolen jeep Slender fungus eats
But we play all the things you are Bomb song, swan song, red hot jazz Burn ourselves out, just to please Back to a car, get on your knees Big, big bomb song, gets burnt out So light your own fire, move into view You can do better You can do better You can do better, that's only true
Slender fungus was a disc of shiny concrete Slender fungus was a disc, a shiny ball of meat Slender fungus sucks the toes that linger round your feet Slender fungus eats in bed before he goes to sleep
One of my all-time favorite songs.

quote: POISONING PIGEONS IN THE PARK - Tom Lehrer
Spring is here, a-suh-puh-ring is here. Life is skittles and life is beer. I think the loveliest time of the year is the spring. I do, don't you? 'Course you do. But there's one thing that makes spring complete for me, And makes every Sunday a treat for me.
All the world seems in tune On a spring afternoon, When we're poisoning pigeons in the park. Every Sunday you'll see My sweetheart and me, As we poison the pigeons in the park.
When they see us coming, the birdies all try an' hide, But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide. The sun's shining bright, Everything seems all right, When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.
We've gained notoriety, And caused much anxiety In the Audubon Society With our games. They call it impiety And lack of propriety, And quite a variety Of unpleasant names. But it's not against any religion To want to dispose of a pigeon.
So if Sunday you're free, Why don't you come with me, And we'll poison the pigeons in the park. And maybe we'll do In a squirrel* or two, While we're poisoning pigeons in the park.
We'll murder them all amid laughter and merriment, Except for the few we take home to experiment. My pulse will be quickenin' With each drop of strych'nine We feed to a pigeon. (It just takes a smidgin!) To poison a pigeon in the park.

Amish Paradise(to the tune of Gansta Paradise) - Weird Al
quote: As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain I take a look at my wife and realize she’s very plain But that’s just perfect for an amish like me You know I shun fancy things like electricity At 4:30 in the morning I’m milkin’ cows Jebediah feeds the chickens and jacob plows... fool And I’ve been milkin’ and plowin’ so long that Even ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone I’m a man of the land, I’m into discipline Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine Then tonight we’re gonna party like it’s 1699
We been spending most our lives Living in an amish paradise I’ve churned butter once or twice Living in an amish paradise It’s hard work and sacrifice Living in an amish paradise We sell quilts at a discount price Living in an amish paradise
A local boy kicked me in the butt last week I just smiled at him and I turned the other cheek I really don’t care, in fact I wish him well ’cause I’ll be laughing my head off when he’s burning in hell But I ain’t never punched a tourist even if he deserved it An amish with a ’tude? You know that’s unheard of I never wear buttons but I got a cool hat And my homies agree I really look good in black... fool If you come to visit, you’ll be bored to tears We haven’t even paid the phone bill in 300 years But we ain’t really quaint, so please don’t point and stare We’re just technologically impaired
There’s no phone, no lights, no motorcar Not a single luxury Like robinson caruso It’s as primitive as can be
We been spending most our lives Living in an amish paradise We’re just plain and simple guys Living in an amish paradise There’s no time for sin and vice Living in an amish paradise We don’t fight, we all play nice Living in an amish paradise
Hitchin’ up the buggy, churnin’ lots of butter Raised a barn on monday, soon I’ll raise anutter Think you’re really righteous? Think you’re pure in heart? Well, I know I’m a million time as humble as thou art I’m the pious guy the little amlettes wanna be like On my knees day and night scorin’ points for the afterlife So don’t be vain and don’t be whiny Or else, my brother, I might have to get medieval on your heinie
We been spending most our lives Living in an amish paradise We’re all crazy mennonites Living in an amish paradise There’s no cops or traffic lights Living in an amish paradise But you’d probably think it bites Living in an amish paradise
I know I shouldn't, but I've laughed at pretty much every Stephen Lynch song I've ever heard.

After straining, Heaving and complaining, We was getting nowhere And so we had a cuppa tea and
Charlie had a think And he thought we ought To take off all the handles And the things what held the candles, But it did no good, Well I never thought it would.

Took its feet off, Even took the seat off, Should have got us somewhere, but no, So Fred said "Let's have another cuppa tea" And we said "Righto."

Took the wall down, Even with it all down We was getting nowhere And so we had a cuppa tea and
Charlie had a think And he said "Look, Fred, I've got a sort of feeling, If we remove the ceiling, With a rope or two We could drop the blighter through."
Oh, "Right" said Fred, Climbing up a ladder, With his crowbar Gave a mighty blow...
Was he in trouble, Half a ton of rubble Landed on the top of his dome, So Charlie and me Had another cuppa tea And then we went home.

My Favourite Tom Lehrer:
quote: When you attend a funeral, It is sad to think that sooner or Later those you love will do the same for you. And you may have thought it tragic, Not to mention other adjec- Tives, to think of all the weeping they will do. But don't you worry. No more ashes, no more sackcloth. And an armband made of black cloth Will some day never more adorn a sleeve. For if the bomb that drops on you Gets your friends and neighbors too, There'll be nobody left behind to grieve.
And we will all go together when we go. What a comforting fact that is to know. Universal bereavement, An inspiring achievement, Yes, we all will go together when we go.
We will all go together when we go. All suffuse with an incandescent glow. No one will have the endurance To collect on his insurance, Lloyd's of London will be loaded when they go.
Oh we will all fry together when we fry. We'll be french fried potatoes by and by. There will be no more misery When the world is our rotisserie, Yes, we will all fry together when we fry.
Down by the old maelstrom, There'll be a storm before the calm.
And we will all bake together when we bake. There'll be nobody present at the wake. With complete participation In that grand incineration, Nearly three billion hunks of well-done steak.
Oh we will all char together when we char. And let there be no moaning of the bar. Just sing out a Te Deum When you see that I.C.B.M., And the party will be "come as you are."
Oh we will all burn together when we burn. There'll be no need to stand and wait your turn. When it's time for the fallout And Saint Peter calls us all out, We'll just drop our agendas and adjourn.
You will all go directly to your respective Valhallas. Go directly, do not pass Go, do not collect two hundred dolla's.
And we will all go together when we go. Ev'ry Hottenhot and ev'ry Eskimo. When the air becomes uranious, And we will all go simultaneous. Yes we all will go together When we all go together, Yes we all will go together when we go.

I'M MY OWN GRANDPA
Many many years ago when I was twenty three, I got married to a widow who was pretty as could be.
This widow had a grown-up daughter Who had hair of red. My father fell in love with her, And soon the two were wed.
I'm my own grandpa.... I'm my own grandpa.... It sounds funny I know, but it really is so 'Cause I'm my own grandpa
This made my dad my son-in-law And changed my very life. My daughter was my mother, For she was my father's wife.
To complicate the matters worse, Even though it brought me joy, I soon became the father Of a bouncing baby boy.
I'm my own grandpa.... I'm my own grandpa.... It sounds funny I know, but it really is so 'Cause I'm my own grandpa
My little baby then became A brother-in-law to dad. And so became my uncle, Though it made me mad.
For if he was my uncle, Then that also made him brother To the widow's grown-up daughter Who, of course, was my step-mother.
I'm my own grandpa.... I'm my own grandpa.... It sounds funny I know, but it really is so 'Cause I'm my own grandpa
Father's wife then had a son, Who kept them on the run. And he became my grandson, For he was my daughter's son.
My wife is now my mother's mother And it makes me blue. Because, although she is my wife, She's my grandmother too.
I'm my own grandpa.... I'm my own grandpa.... It sounds funny I know, but it really is so 'Cause I'm my own grandpa
If my wife is my grandmother, Then I am her grandchild. And every time I think of it, It simply drives me wild.
For now I have become
The strangest case you ever saw.
As the husband of my grandmother,
I am my own grandpa!
Soooo I'm my own grandpa.... I'm my own grandpa.... It sounds funny I know, but it really is so 'Cause I'm my own grandpa
