The usual MC Paul Barman ridiculously-clever rhymes loaded with lefty cultural references, sex, and words of as many syllables as possible. His dandy voice still makes the most anti-choice granny’s panties moist, but he seems to have acquired some swing somewhere. You’ll still want to quote every other line (just ask Smurph), he just doesn’t sound so endearingly square anymore.

1. intro filled with awful singing, yeah
2. has the singing from 1. as the hook
3. a partial list of the celebrities MCPB would be interested in having sex with, from Heidi Klum to Amy Tan
4. choir and flute, yipes
5. beats sound like a jazz combo playing nintendo music, raps about the cosmic connections between black people and jewish people, I think
6. beats just sound like nintendo, rhymes about getting laid at the NOW rally (“I follow politics to ball all the chicks”)
7. SAT rap
8. seems like more an excuse to show off his vocabulary than… well, it don’t make hardly any sense. But that’s okay.
9. lefty politics ahoy! I love this song
10. gross-out body-physics lesson. Play this for the curious kindergartners in your life!
11. hysterical dead-on folk song (that’s right, no rapping! But there’s rhymes, and they’re funny)
12. semi-instrumental sequel to 9.
13. supa jazzy spoken word type thing about a trip to San Francisco
