    [Chorus]:
    But then I deal with fungal rot, bacterial formation
    Microbes, enzymes, mold, and oxidation
    I don't care; I've got a secret trick up my sleeve
    I never bother with baggies, glass jars, Tupperware containers
    Plastic cling wrap, really a no-brainer
    I just like to keep all my flavors sealed in tight
    With aluminum foil (Foil)
    Never settle for less
    That kind of wrap is just the best
    To keep your sandwich nice and fresh
    Stick it in your cooler (Cooler)
    Eat it when you're ready
    But maybe you'll choose (You'll choose, you'll choose, you'll choose)
    A refreshing herbal tea

      Actually, the plot twist seemed natural to me; I wondered at the time whether he was going to sing about tin foil hats. (And I've always wondered, if the conspiracy theorists are correct, brainwaves, and that foil blocks them, why can you still buy foil at your local grocery store? Wouldn't the government make it illegal?)

    The sudden and extreme shift in tone right in the middle of the song always cracks me up

  • @reginaldinoenchillada3513

    Genius. Great sound quality including singing. He uses all of his creative energy after the music is ready. From Dr Demento days, al has been smashing it.

      Aluminum Foil has many amazing uses, from near 100% gas barrier for piece of mind in stored food, to many delicious recipes you too can prepare for friends or family. With every Aluminum Foil purchase, you will not only receive aluminum, but, wait for it, a fully wrought alloy with 9, count them, 9 elements total, rolled to precise specifications. How about that!

      And don't forget that Al is an amazing song writer. Less than half of the songs on his 14 studio albums are parodies, the rest are his incredible original songs. I've been to 3 of his originals only tours and was blown away!!!
