Maybe not to you, but the Dock, dock, dockers verse is without a doubt the
funniest in any club song...
The first verse I posted with funny lyrics, kind of, only kind of, works,
but the second verse has some lame breakdown thing, and then they lauch into
that. There's nothing about that verse that works, context or no. In fact
the context kinda makes it funnier, because of the slower, more downbeat
"Freo heave ho" parts earlier in that song...
Just another reason why the Dockers song is the worst in the league...it
can't make it's mind up whether it wants to be some slow, depressing dirge,
or it wants to be some cheesy 80s-esque Andrew W.K. style party song!!
