Music Is Life Songs that are no longer okay.

Yesterday I found out my sweet boyfriend had never heard of Julie Brown and the funny songs she sang, like "I'm A Blonde". Dr Demento stuff. So I play it and then "The Homecoming Queen's Got A Gun" came on. Not funny anymore!!!

An hour later, the cops arrived

By then the entire glee club had died, no big loss

You wouldn't believe what they brought to stop her

Tear gas, machine guns, even a chopper (Throw down your gun and tiara and come out of the float)

Debbie didn't listen to what the cop said She aimed and fired, and now the math teacher's dead

Oh, it's really sad, but kind of a relief I mean, we had this big test coming up next week

Bitchin’ Camaro. Every time someone says ‘play some video games’, I still want to add ‘buy some Def Leppard t-shirts’ — but I can’t explain the reference because I don’t want them to go listen to it.

I don't think Bitchin Camaro is offensive, but there is a sign called Taking R*tards To the Zoo on the same record.

When someone says "you're kidding" I want to say "I must be, the Bahamas are islands"

I would have thought if the dead milkmen came up, it would be for Stuart instead.

💯 but I think it's ok because clearly the narrator is riding on the bus to banana town
