Funniest Song Lyrics:
"Sample The Dog"
The Funny Lyrics: Sittin' in a livin' room in a condo, Gazmo's on the rug with little Cassy-o
Gazmo's gettin' nervous, Cassy wants to sample the dog Why They're Funny: You've got to hear the song in it's entirety. It's either a drug reference, the name of a game or a reprimand for the shoddy way our school system works!
