Why the dog? I mean why the hell the dog? Last time I saw this puppet he was taking the mick out of all the Star Wars geeks in line to see Phantom Menace in New York. Now it's rapping on an Eminem track. At first I was confused and though Em was making soe kind of racial statement with the accent. Or maybe he is? Perhaps his lyrics are too subtle for me...

But they are great lyrics, almost poetic, almost surreal. His commentary on society's sexual hypocrisy and continuing play on the nature of celebrity continues to spank my monkey.

This isn't just a comedy song; the thudding bassline and faintly eastern promise drive it into the realms of real music. Though it's a heady cocktail, which I suspect many who take themselves too seriously may dismiss as more (or less) of the same.
