“The dream took a disturbing detour into one man’s private hell. I dreamt I could see Billy Ray Cyrus sitting in Satan’s waiting room. He was being forced to play ‘Achy Breaky Heart’ repeatedly on a one-string banjo, while all around him demons with flaming mullets line danced like maniacs. Apparently this was retribution for the misery he had inflicted on humanity with that horrible song and his contribution to the sinister spread of the ‘boot scootin’ phenomenon. In his thirty-second break he told me through his tears he had promised to slice off his mullet if only the Devil would spare his soul. But the Devil would not be swayed. He said, ‘No, Billy, for the song, the line dancing, and the mullet....all these transgressions are far too great to allow you any mercy.’” Man, you just gotta love that.

4 for the maddeningly repetitive music. +2 for the great lyrics. Final score = 6. Billy Ray Cyrus in hell. What a concept.

This is a schizophrenic song. The song starts out stupid with the scat (or whatever you call it) for the first 25 seconds, gets really good for the next 2 1/2 minutes, then gets stupid again for the next 1 1/2 minutes when the guy narrates his story about Billy Ray Cyrus and then it gets good again with the chorus section. So I went over to last FM and copied the audio from the song and edited out the stupid parts and voila! I've got a really great song to put on my iPod (with just a very slight bump in the middle of the song (I can live with that).

At first I thought it WAS early Pink Floyd. I like it too.

Definitely sounds like it was made in about 1968.

a joke song Spinal Tap would have done in their Flower People phase.

I hear early Pink Floyd / King Crimson. Syd Barrett influence for sure.

That's a PhotoShop job if I've ever seen one.

Didn't know that god blessed those that kill to further their own greedy agenda. Good to know.

The mouth percussion in the intro reminds me of some cheesy college a Capella group...but that goes away pretty quickly once the song starts.

Totally!!

I'll go against the crowd. I like it! It sounds like the Moody Blues.
