laugh smile cool!!! As I listened to "A Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Moment," I laughed so loud, and so hard, that I nearly choked on my hot dog.

I was driving on the highway
In the pouring rain
I knew I had to take action fast
When this fool came in my lane


Who among us that drives can't relate to that? But because of the clever rhyme and the good-time sounding music you set it to, it came off funny as all hell.

I order a burger and a side of fries
They must have thought I was overweight
Cause when I got home and opened the bag
There was a salad in its place


That's simply hilarious...

When I went to play the bill
He said I would be fine
I handed him my insurance card
That's when I was denied


...and so is the above, precisely because, though it's nowhere near being funny in "real" life, the fact that we survive "the bad things that happen to people" gives us the right to laugh our butts off at the dreaded fate we narrowly avoided. It's the kind of song that folks would gladly sing-along with in a nice, cozy, crowded bar as they hoist beers to each other on a rainy Friday night after a hard's days work.

Fellas, ("Mario D" and "BillH"), in it's own original and inspired way, I think this is one of the most knowingly humorous and musically entertaining songs I've heard since Bob Dylan's "115 Dreams". Yes, I said it! Send it to the "Smothers Brothers." They could stage a swift "comeback" with it.

I know a whole lotta folks who could use a good, hearty laugh while singing along with "A Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Moment." Is it available to download, or would I simply direct listeners to SoundCloud?
