A bizarre musical satire on suburban life and the nuclear family. The catch: the singing is done in very demented vibrato filled chipmunk/southpark voices. The music is...well, intentionally bad, cheesy, synth, drum machine showtune crap. Picks 10,14,6,7,9,1,8
*1-(3:30) Slow walking, pleasant organ filled overture.
2-(1:22) Fast. About dad's mustache. FCC "motherfuckin"
3-(2:39) 50 sec. intro. Bad sex funk.
4-(2:29) 50 sec. intro. Kids don't want to go to the shrink, but daddy thinks they should.
5-(1:43) Very stereotypical bad musical. "I'm on ritalin now"
**6-(1:33) Weird visit by Roshetti, their african-american mailman who crashes in on rocket and delivers the stock report. Last 35 sec. are singing.
**7-(1:32) Bizarre. Just weird.
*8-(3:47) About marijuana. Lame, lame, tropical beat. Dad smokes her daughter out while telling her about his green past. FCC "fucking", "shit".
*9-(1:26) "Lets go see the magic calculator". Trippy. Slow robot dance beat. The calculator tells her to sell pot to her friends.
**10-(2:57) Inspired, slow, dragging blues. Success, fame, and manliness can be found in football. Brilliant.
*11-(2:17) Long spoken intro. Showtune. Consumerism deadens the pain/pointlessness of life.
12-(2:23) Slow, slow, sleepy, painful showtune.
13-(2:33) The mom and dad die in a car crash. Fairly upbeat ragtime showtune about being dead. FCC "shit".
**14-(0:59) Harmony. Just repeating "We are nameless assholes" (FCC). Then they sing it in spanish to a waltz!
15-(1:16) Slow, rock ballad.
16-(0:57) Upbeat showtune. Title says it all. FCC "motherfucker".
17-(1:33) Lazy, Beach Boy harpsichord strut. whistling. Not bad.
18-(1:33) Not in the chipmunk voice. Hand clap and foot stomp beat. FCC "shit", "ass", "motherfucker".
19-(1:05) Loopy. "Princess the Magical Rainbow Dog". Halfway, lighthearted glitchy 8-bity beat.
20-(0:09) Child straight reading "This tape was brought to you by...".
