Maybe Bad News Sounds Better Coming From Weird Al

My apology if your birthday is actually today. Be sure to check out the non-news-related links; they're a real pip! Note that the subject matter of the post or article may not exactly (i.e. ever) sync-up with the lyric:

"Well, it's time to celebrate your birthday, it happens every year
We'll eat a lot of broccoli and drink a lot of beer
You should be good and happy that there's something you can eat
A million people every day are starving in the street.

Your daddy's in the gutter with the wretched and the poor
Your mama's in the kitchen with a can of Cycle Four
There's garbage in the water, there's poison in the sky
I guess it won't be long before we're all gonna die.

Well, what's the matter little friend, you think this party is the pits?
Enjoy it while you can, we'll soon be blown to bits
The monkeys in the Pentagon are gonna cook our goose
Their finger's on the button, all they need is an excuse.

It doesn't take a military genius to see
We'll all be crispy critters after World War III
There's nowhere you can run to, nowhere you can hide
When they drop the big one, we all get fried!

Well there's a punk in the alley and he's looking for a fight
There's an Arab on the corner buying everything in sight
There's a mother in the ghetto with another mouth to feed
Seems that everywhere you look today there's misery and greed.

I guess you know the Earth is gonna crash into the sun
But that's no reason why we shouldn't have a little fun
So if you think it's scary, if it's more than you can take
Just blow out the candles and have a piece of cake!"

Or you can just click through on the new sidebar pictures and save yourselves the ulcer.

Crud. I should have gone for the pictures.

What a charming ditty... though I personally prefer Dirty Deeds Done With Sheep.

If Bad News sounded better coming from Al, he'd have been the National Musician for 6 years.

Plus, we'd all be in a better mood. The situation would suck just as much, but we'd laugh about it more often.

Since it actually is my birthday, allow me to thank you for supplying something even more depressing than the number 39.
