The Lyrics
The greatest institution in government history.
TV was on; an ad appeared quite suddenly,
I knew it instantly,
They made it clear…
Tax season’s here, the IRS is after me,
And so, right off my seat,
My trials; you’ll hear…
That’s the IRS,
Tricking them won’t fly,
And the tax returns filed,
Won’t cut with the big “I”…
Tactics tried and true,
There’s no sweet “Hello”,
File your taxes tonight,
Deadlines; all I know, give them to,
…IRS,
Won’t appeal to kids,
Now it’s Spring, starting soon,
IRS collections,
Though the deadline ends,
I’ll send them before April starts,
That’s the IRS, by far!
(Eight bars instrumental, four bars humming)
File your taxes tonight,
Deadlines; all I know, give them to,
…IRS,
Won’t appeal to kids,
Now it’s Spring, starting soon,
IRS collections,
Though the deadline ends,
I’ll send them before April starts,
That’s the IRS…by far!
I knew it instantly,
They made it clear…
Tax season’s here, the IRS is after me,
And so, right off my seat,
My trials; you’ll hear…
That’s the IRS,
Tricking them won’t fly,
And the tax returns filed,
Won’t cut with the big “I”…
Tactics tried and true,
There’s no sweet “Hello”,
File your taxes tonight,
Deadlines; all I know, give them to,
…IRS,
Won’t appeal to kids,
Now it’s Spring, starting soon,
IRS collections,
Though the deadline ends,
I’ll send them before April starts,
That’s the IRS, by far!
(Eight bars instrumental, four bars humming)
File your taxes tonight,
Deadlines; all I know, give them to,
…IRS,
Won’t appeal to kids,
Now it’s Spring, starting soon,
IRS collections,
Though the deadline ends,
I’ll send them before April starts,
That’s the IRS…by far!

I’m curious what you would use for subject matter if you didn’t have TV commercials and brief radio moments to copy/paste from. Then again, I think we both know the odds of you picking a subject that normal people actually care about are next to zero. But, we agree on taxes. OTOH, I’ll consider changing my opinion if you can tell me what “IRS” stands for off the top of your head. Pretty sure you’d be stuck after, “I…”
Ha ha, joke’s on you ‘cuz I already know. In my case it means Intensely Retarded $#itbag.
As if most readers couldn’t discern the difference between your comments pretending to be me and my actual comments. While we’re at it, “real” Captain Obvious, IRS means “Impossibly Rude $#!tposter” — which means you. Everyone else has said it well — the vast majority of great commenters either left or just don’t post anymore, so what does a new person see? You posting eight billion attack variations against “Rhythm Steps”.
Logic is obviously not your strong suit, is it? There wouldn’t be eight billion attack variations if you weren’t posting eight billion variations of your stupid song. Don’t start nuthin’, won’t be nuthin’.
