Notes

*At about 2:20, a clip from the Simpson's episode Blood Feud.
*Near the end of the fade out, Al can be heard singing "Bet you think it’s funny when you’re driving folks right up the wall, but you’re just one pain in the ass." The word 'ass' is only half-way audible before the song fades out completely.
