I thought this thread was about the '70s custom van craze. Oh yeah, I just tried to steer it there but no one wanted to go there apparently. Bummer.

Anyway, the thing about, um, that song is that

1. It's the most annoying song in the history of the world! It combines a jarring rhythm with a jarring melody, with a jarringly shrieking vocalization. And yet,
2. It begins with quite witty lyrics:
   **
   Tried to amend my carnivorous habits.
   Made it nearly seventy days,
   Losin' weight without speed, eatin' sunflower seeds,
   Drinkin' lots of carrot juice and soakin' up rays.
   But at night I'd have these wonderful dreams
   Some kind of sensuous treat.
   Not zucchini, fettuccini, or bulgur wheat,
   But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat.
   **
   I mean, who can't relate to that? Still, the song is on balance an abomination, and I'm not even of the anti-JB inclination.
