this song never ceases to make me laugh my ass off.
at the same time, randy newman was once amazing and this song represents his selling out more than anything.
See also "Nilsson Sings Newman" for some of Newman's greatest songs rendered by someone with a proper singing voice (before Nilsson ruined it, anyway).
It never fails to amaze me how thoroughly and irreparably Newman transformed from "clever misanthrope" to "smug unlistenable cunt."
