Music Remains Young, Dumb and Full of Cumnew
The sound is stripped, and Danko wants you stripped, too, you learn from the hyperbole in the forked-tongued, wolf-whistle lyrics.

Something Doesn't Quite Translatenew
Dolly Parton is such an icon in the music business that she can get away with just about anything, but this collection of "classic" '60s and '70s tunes is a bit much.
