Well. 150 posts. It was bound to happen eventually, and means there's now 150 good bits of evidence that I have way too much time on my hands.

Setting a dangerous precedent, I'm using this as an opportunity for a music quiz... of sorts. No prizes for the right answer - be as weird as you want. I want to see exactly how weird a song can get by optionally replacing every second line with a line from another song.

So, click, play, have fun.

I want you to know I only went and did that because you used the full album version, not the compressed piece of shite I heard the first several years it was out. In fact, his second sort-of hit, "The Entertainer," describes what happened to the previous song:

I am the entertainer
I come to do my show
You've heard my latest record
It's been on the radio
Ah, it took me years to write it
They were the best years of my life
It was a beautiful song
But it ran too long
If you're gonna have a hit
You gotta make it fit
So they cut it down to 3:05

There's a compressed piece of shite version? What kind of person would do that?
