| "Mary Jane's Last Dance"
The Funny Lyrics: There's pigeons down on Market Square
She's standing in her underwear. Why They're Funny: What a ludicrous juxtaposition! Pigeons in the city square, with some lady in her underwear! I just hope it is the pigeons that are responsible for any stains visible in this scene. On second thought, does it really matter? Maybe souvenirs left by pigeons are just as troublesome as anything else the images here might conjure up!
