Some things are funny because they are painfully true, yet presented in an unexpected way – which is the case with this song by Broad Comedy’s Katie Goodman. The lyrics sum up much of the angst underlying modern existence. But besides being crass and funny, this song is also a call to action. To make a vague, define-it-yourself change for good. And that is a lot of nuance for a ditty consisting mainly of one word that can’t be played on the radio. Check it out!
