a parody of "Born To Be Wild" by Steppenwolf
The news that Edwards' campaign was paying for his $400 haircuts gave this a good run on the airwaves until Edwards dropped out of the race; then it was miraculously resuscitated when he "popped up" (so to speak) as the father of a child by an affair.

Onomatopoeia in Lyrics:
"Earsplittenloudenboomer"
The Lyrics: "Today, I haf goot nus, unt I have bat nus. (blah-blah-blah in Greman). Earsplitenloudenboomer...
Why: Not really a "lyric", as the song is basically an instrumental. It opens with a recitation that is in laughable German, and morphs into some warped version of Herb Alpert. The only indication of the songs title comes at the end, when a "sonic boom" signals the finish of the cut.
