Submitted by: Jakko Wakko

Hidden Tracks:

"Tree 63," Twisted Sister
Hidden track on the Stay Hungry album, this acapella belter only lasts 30 seconds. Dee Snider's voice has been distorted to sound more like Frank Zappa's Central Scrutinizer than anything else in music. Outside the applicable for Am I Right box, think of the aliens from the Toy Story films. Dee sings "F*** you, we welcome you to munchkin land," and goes into the ongoing chorus line "We represent the lollipop girl." Best secret trackever, apart from that untitled one on Jagged Little Pill which I will write about as it is another interesting song done acapella.

Insulting Lyrics:

"Pigs (Three Different Ones)" by Pink Floyd
The Insulting Lyrics:
Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are.
You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are.
And when your hand is on your heart,
You're nearly a good laugh,
Almost a joker,
With your head down in the pig bin,
Saying "Keep on digging."
Pig stain on your fat chin.
What do you hope to find.
When you're down in the pig mine.
You're nearly a laugh,
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry-hi-hiiiiii
Bus stop rat bag
Ha, ha, charade you are
You f*cked up old hag
Ha, ha, charade you are
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel
You're hot stuff with a hatpin
And good fun with a hand gun
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry-hi-hiiiiii
Why They're Insulting:
OK Pink Floyd are British but doesn't this sound familiar? Doesn't this describe American politicians or those from anywhere else? Remember last year's election campaigning? A sad joke. This is as anti-politician as it gets! Pink Floyd 4EVER!
