I like that song because I could never understand the chorus and thought it said “I get no towels/to dry me off again/everybody bring me towels.”

Topher, would you like me to begin with the music itself, or with the lyrics?
Glad to hear somebody else agrees with me, Brit. I played the first ten seconds of that song for Michele, who isn’t possessed by the same hatred of beat poets that I am, and she made me turn it off.

I just looked it up on Amazon. Yeah, it's pretty unlistenable. Looks like some of the Amazon reviewers agreed: "you'll almost certainly use the skip button the first time you play [that song from] the album, if not every time" http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000002N3A/002-5982575-7729639?v=glance&n=5174
