Performance tips

  • Adopt a smooth, soulful "Elvis-style" croon for the verses to contrast with the disgusting lyrics; the humor relies on the juxtaposition of the pretty melody and the gross imagery.
  • Maintain a straight face and sincere delivery during the increasingly absurd list of things Al would rather do, such as "shoving an ice pick under a toenail."
  • The song features classic doo-wop backing harmonies ("ooohs" and "aaahs") during the bridges; if you have friends with you, encourage them to provide those high-pitched backing vocals for the full effect.
