I’m not the only one hearing a strong Ween influence, am I? @thomdunn, what you think?

Didn’t understand the appeal of them until I saw them live recently. Fun band, fun crowd.

Neat sound. Not sure if I like the lock stepped electronic music in the background, but the lyrics are silly and fun like some of my favorite bands (The Dead Milkmen, They Might Be Giants, Cake).

Pedantry warning, but… ‘the most finest!?’

I detect a subtle Hanna Barbera/Sid and Marty Kroft influence. That’s definitely an 90s thing. Remember the Saturday Morning: Cartoons’ Greatest Hits album from 1995?

Fun fact: I interviewed the producer and engineer on that album last summer! Hopefully turning it into another project pitch…

One of my favorite mixed albums of the decade. So many excellent versions of cherished old cartoon songs.

It’s just meh, but I’m a tough crowd. I was in an industrial band which used a truck door as one of our instruments. XD
