By the way, I am totally printing out this comment and sleeping with it under my pillow tonight.

In my defense, I did say right in the middle of my piece, "I'm kind of beginning to realize the ludicrousness of complaining about a particular bad rhyme in this song."

No, it was totally my bad. I've seen the show, but it just wasn't at the top of my list of things to ask about…even though it clearly should have been.

Anyone interested in reading the "deleted scenes" of the interview…
…need only click over to NewsReviewsInterviews.com. Fair warning: I still never got around to discussing "Adventure Time." But we did talk about the Joker. And a cage match between DiMaggio, Mark Hamill, and Kevin Michael Richardson. Oh, but I've said…

That was the reason, you're right. But it was in our thoughts, of course, as was the Three Stooges' "You Nazty Spy!"

If you could hear the recording, you'd hear me unabashedly struggling to come up with one. But it was worth it to hear his surprise that I knew the line in question.

Yeah, I didn't know how long I was going to have, so I had to pick and choose pretty carefully. But if I had done it up Random-Roles style, that definitely would've been in the mix.

Is there a line for AV Club writers who want to interview Elvis Costello?
If so, I'm going to need to go ahead and get in there, too, because he's also on my list of artists that I've repeatedly tried and failed to speak with. So is Nick Lowe, for that matter. (It is possibly not coincidental that they share a…

I don't know if he's specifically an AV Club reader, but I can tell you this story, at least:

Not really sure why you would take that I was ignoring anything, as I think it's clear that I pretty well let the conversation go wherever he wanted to take it. If there's a lack of discussion about his stage roles, I'd say it's more likely because he's a self-admitted Onion reader who knows that the "Random Roles"…

If "Another Day" is truly supposed to be a parody of "Martha My Dear" (and from a sonic standpoint, that's a pretty easy theory to buy), then I'd argue the Rutles have the better song on their hands, if only because it introduced me to the incredibly awesome word "pusillanimous."

Hand on heart, I was thisclose to nominating "Pop Goes My Heart" as my entry. A ridiculously catchy pop song.

That's really cool. I admit that I wasn't familiar with him before I discovered "I Need Your Help, Barry Manilow," but if he's the one responsible for the arrangement of the song, it's inarguable: dude kicks ass.

Yeah, but I'm so used to life as a peon that I keep forgetting to ask how one goes about getting one. Besides, I should probably ease into this whole pretending-to-be-one-of-the-cool-kids thing. Maybe that way it won't go to my head.

Sorry about the absence of "The Man Who Knew Too Little." It was on my list, as was "Johnny Skidmarks," which someone else mentioned, but as it was, the interview lasted for 105 minutes. I had to end it somewhere. (I never imagined we'd keep talking so long. I gave him a couple of outs, but he kept saying, "No, this…

He talks about "Hudsucker." The story about how he was singing to Paul Newman…?

For the record, I pitched "Jingle All the Way" for inclusion, but the premise of the Inventory demanded *actual* festivals, and that one was deemed insufficiently real. Oh, well…

Yeah, but give the Boy credit: he married Duo Damsel. Stupid superpower or not, he's got a shot at a threesome any day of the week, and that ain't nothin' to sneeze at…

A thread dedicated to my response? Today, I truly am an AV Club writer…

Even though I wrote the above Depp bit, I have no problem seconding the "Ed Wood" suggestion. Visions of that dance number, where he pulls out his teeth at the end, still haunt me…
