Artist: REO Speedwagon
Album: You Can Tune a Piano, But You Can’t Tuna Fish
Track number on album: 3
Duration: 3:08
Fodder rating (out of 5): 5
Like many songs by its artist, the ease with which you can learn all the words and come up with rhymes for them is top-notch, making it probably at least a 3-fodder, and certainly more than that for me. Just really strong fodder - if it suits your particular needs.
The song being about someone going crazy and not being wanted around gave me a lot to work with and was where the whole idea of parodying this album came from. A terrific parody of this one ensued.
