Song Parody Recordings:
This song was written during a training course for tax preperation. . .I guess it's no surprise that the topic came up in a song. Originally this was "The Power of Block", but I felt that it was too much of an advertisement, and not enough of a parody, thus I made a slight edit to "The Power of Tax" as although I truely do recomend "Block", I have no animosity towards "Liberty" or "Hewitt". . .although the Check Cashing Giants I kinda view as theives, the whole tax wars being that time and all, seemed like an appropriate parody. That's not that I dislike their employees--I have a problem with any company that takes such large chunks of a person's check when the people who use said business can't get a checking account and have few places to go to get their hard earned money. . .that's nothing against the people who work there, but the company itself.

Funny Lyrics:
"Heart Of Rock 'N' Roll"
The Funny Lyrics: When they play their music, ooh that modern music They did it with a lot of style But it's still that same old backbeat rhythm That really really drives them wild ... When they play their music, a hard rockin' music They did it with a lot of flash But it's still that same old backbeat rhythm They really really kicks them in the... ... When they play their music, real live music Bands with a million styles But it's still that same old rock 'n' roll music That really really drives them wild
Why They're Funny: Post Fruity Pebbles cereal, part of this nutritious breakfast, yabba-dabba-delicious! 'That really really kicks them in the' makes me think of opening a champagne bottle when it sprays out at anyone! But what happened to the word 'ass' in the lyrical line 'that really really kicks them in the...'? It's only been missing because of the drumbeat!

Dated Lyrics:
"Back In Time"
The Dated Lyrics: Is this the 50's or 1999
Why They're Dated: This was written in 1985, so they referred to the past and the future, but now both references are the past.

"I Want a New Drug"
The Lyrics: I want a new drug, one that does what it should
One that don't make me feel too bad, one that don't make me feel too good Why: This would be a terrible choice for a vice officer, especially in the middle of doing a drug search.
