"Satire is primarily a literary genre or form, although in practice it can also be found in the graphic and performing arts. In satire, vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, and society itself, into improvement.[1] Although satire is usually meant to be funny, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit as a weapon."
@NERDkingHERE - Sounds like someone needs to get creative... (start a more constructive industry instead of destroying ourselves just for the sake of jobs in the interim). I don't know, what do you think?
@NERDkingHERE Yeah, back in the day when you could dump all kinds of waste into rivers and nobody gave a shit, rivers shouldn't be able to catch fire.
@ohiocanalgirl - Thank you Randy for keeping in our memory, by way of song, how we ought to make alternate decisions about being responsible for preventing our children and grandchildren to uncontaminated water to drink. Thanks for bringing to our attention how foolish we can be at the expense of our health and the health of our children that we would blindly cut off our nose to spite our face.
Thanks for posting........always loved this opening on the very funny movie......wish Charlie was still with us and hadnt taken off back to outer space...........

How is he saying that people from Cleveland are stupid? Point out the certain lyrics that say that, 'cause maybe I missed it. And just because Cleveland and Frankfurt are "equal" as you say, it doesn't give you ANY reason to be offended for Frankfurt. He's talking about Cleveland not Frankfurt dumbass.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
So, he goes to Germany, puts down cities like Cleveland, who are equal to Frankfurt (and I am german)....and he says we are basically stupid.
PLUS..on Major LEAGUE movie songs....he fought for rights to hide his songs, YET HE MADE money from CLEVELAND major league.
Hmmmmmmm. Sounds like a dog to me. City of Majgc (like George Michael Show).
He got paid from Cleve, and yet spits on it.
