Considering the ratings, the negative commenters are a vocal minority. Personally, I'm a big fan of Cake, but whatever floats your boat, people.

The chorus is from the bible.  And it's peppered with literary references.  The wiki page is interesting:

My daughter just told me a few minutes before this that she wanted to get a herd of fainting goats!  Then her little girl can scare them all the time.

A friend of mine just sold the house to buy a place to raise goats. Maybe that's an evil place to be.

There's this one song (maybe another album) about being on a cruise ship with all these Europeans.  They have us Americans spot on — what with our velour track suit splendor and gym shoes.  Love that whole imagery (so true too).

I almost never hit the stop button (I cannot remember the last time I did it for one specific song) .... but Cake is able to perform the trick.

It is something about the guy's voice that pretty much annoys me to no end.

I was shocked when I saw I had given this song a 1.  I just don't dislike it that much anymore.  I'm sort of in between on this song these days. Up to a 5!

Love the crunchy guitar and Herb Albert trumpets. It's all about the rhythm. Check em out on the Guitar Center sessions.

This is REALLY not good!!! While not a great band really to begin with, I think short skirt is still the only decent track I've heard from them.....maybe just my taste, but there is SO MUCH better out there.....!  One more thing - the fact people have ranked this at a 9 or even 10 scares the hell out of me?!! Is there a time warp I need to step through for this music to somehow sound like.........pink floyd, radiohead, porcupine tree, the beatles, rolling stones, etc, etc, etc???? Yikes!

 
It's nothing to be scared about.  Sure, John McCrea's "vocal" style certainly annoys a lot of people, but a whole lot of people like it too.  Yes, there's better stuff out there, but there's a lot of worse stuff too.  I really don't want to live in a dimension where all of the music has to sound like five or six different bands.

Interesting to me that you use the phrase "crappiness of lyrics" because "Cowboy Mambo" has one of my favorite verses lyrically:
Green grass grows 'round the backyard shit house
That is where the sweetest flowers bloom
We are flowers growing in God's garden
And that is why he spreads the shit around

I think it works musically (i.e., sounds better than it reads), and I love how his simple, evocative imagery speaks to something much deeper. 
 
Thanks for your positive response. I'll give DB a little more slack when I hear "Cowboy Mambo" again. It's easy to be snarky and grouchy, esp. when you're listening to someone with limited singing abilities. 

As for Cake...I'll just use the PsD button.

Jesus.

Stop taking yourself so damn seriously.

Grab a beer out of the fridge, put your feet up, and listen to how sublimely silly and fun these guys are.

Do I want this song played at my funeral? No. But I think Cake is entertaining as Hell.

The world is turning into such an unforgivable, reprehensible, cold, hateful place that I really appreciate people that have the brass cajones to just be goofy and fun.

Shit...I thought it was just me getting old. I find this sentiment to be so true and unfortunately it's beginning to permeate everything. It makes me think of the river of sludge running beneath Manhattan in Ghostbuster's 2 (?) {#Neutral}
Yeah, I know...wah.
Anyway Peace, y'all. {#Devil_pimp}
