NeMeSiS Average	#5 by NeMeSiS TraSh TeSt at Sep 14, 2006 at 10:19 AM EST
	It's based off an eighteenth or nineteenth century poem by somebody famous. I'll research it for you all. It's a great song, makes me wanna dance around like an idiot.

Adam Wanna Be	#6 by Adam Clarke at Nov 20, 2006 at 12:57 PM EST
	The best cover of this song is by Soil. Goddamn, you'd have to work hard to make this song suck.. maybe a rap version, or a pop version could make it suck but even then how could you do such a thing? It would be a crime against humanity that even corporate america could not commit... I hope...

Mike Average	#7 by Mike Kearney at May 22, 2007 at 5:28 PM EST
