Most Of The Time, The Songs Have Jokes In Them, Little Sarcastic Things, Or Purposely Kitsch Or Something. So That's Going Along With A Story, Like I Do In Life, Just Talking To Myself And Making Fun Of Stuff And Laughing At Stuff That's Serious. And Sometimes It's A Good Idea To Put The Laughing Into The Songs. Sometimes It's Not. Sometimes It's All Right Just To Be Serious. But Most Of The Songs Have Some Kind Of Joke In Them.
