The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
Real Can of Yams, "The Analogy of the Goat and the Rubber Inflatable Raft" from Good or Suck! (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: "The Analogy of the Goat and the Rubber Inflatable Raft" is the R.C.Y. song that is perhaps most true to our band's oddball ethos. First, there is nothing in the song that could be even remotely misconstrued as an analogy of a goat & a rubber inflatable raft. There is a story behind the title, & it's a good one, but that will keep to another time. Second, the verses are comprised of quotes from the eminently quotable 1989 motion picture Batman, with due credit given in the liner notes to the screenwriters Sam Hamm & Warren Skaaren. Third, the choruses consist of just two lines, arranged in various ways, that one might reasonably assume refer to the Batman. However, the song's not about the Batman.

The chorus:
"Hats off to the man with the plan
'Cause he's gonna save your ass again!"

The verses:
"Now you wanna get nuts?
Come on, let's get nuts, I'm Batman.
Eckhart, think about the future.
Call me Joker, I'm glad you're dead.
Nice apartment, lots of space,
Mean kid, bad seed, hurt people.
Ship 'em all!
We're gonna take 'em out a whole new door!

"It's time for 'Who do you trust?,'
Hubba hubba hubba, money money money,
I've been dead once already,
It's very liberating.
Never rub another man's rhubarb,
You better be sure.
Stop the press! Who is that?
This town needs an enema!"
