it's so cool that it's going to rock its way over to miscellaneous, where musical topics are discussed.
in fact, i bet ole' Big W himself will probably send it a'packin' over to recordings.
that's a rockin' tune, right there.

Yeah, ole' BW himself probably would, except for the fact that I beat him to it.

it's not about the complexity of the song, it how it sounds in the end

More educational than School House Rock, I tell you. ( "Conjunction junction what's your function..." vs. "I know the pieces FIT" )
Granted I just read about an example of one in school when covering the Byzantine Empire (the schism resulting in an Orthodox and Catholic church).
How is schism pronounced? is it si-zum or ski-zum (with "i" as in "it")? |

| | | | A "schism" is like a division or seperation or something like that, I looked it up after I heard the song.
I hate the song now, it bugs the hell out of me. |

Every thing about this song and others I have heard buy them works really well but I have just grown tired of the amount that I hear this one song. |

I was looking for a "stinkfist 2" sorta approach, although that thing where they got on all 4's and started shaking their heads was pretty weird/cool. You should try it at home.
