OH, this SHOULD be taken seriously...it is very fine, relevent satire that SHOULD hit home with those who actually BELIEVE the nonsence it calls out. Anyone too stupid to get that it IS satire and grasp the points it makes is beyond all earthly aid.

The Austin Lounge Lizards have been around as long as the Lounge Lizards, which also started out as a novelty band. Both bands were formed around 1980. The Austin Lounge Lizards are not a bunch of yahoos, nor are they members of the Tea Party. The founding members met in law school, and one of them went on to become a sitting judge. Their songs are liberal/progressive oriented satire. And they are excellant musicians. And I would wager that more people have heard of them than the others.

If you check out the phrase 'lounge lizard' you will find it is a phrase that has been around a while before being used as the name of any band. I would say it is in the public domain. So no need to get all bent out of shape because more than one band uses the phrase in a name. Heck a web design firm in NY is also using the name. Love the Austin Lounge Lizards!

Love this song! The first time I heard it was on the radio while I was driving. I had to pull over to the side of the road (not easy in mid-Manhattan) because I was laughing so hard, I was crying! I LOVE these guys! They are brilliant!

Just for confused people, this band is almost as old as the 'real' Lounge Lizards, and probably took the name before they heard of the other band--not so famous back then, and no Google to let you know if someone else out there was using the name, right? Don't take them so seriously--they are just having fun, are really pretty decent musicians--and the audience IS enjoying this.
