Haven't done something like this in quite a while. Today's random song is "Comfort Eagle" by the band CAKE, which not only has excessively random lyrics delivered in a cadenced monotone similar to that of "Particle Man", but also has a very random title: it doesn't mean anything, it is lifted from a line that doesn't mean anything, and it is mentioned only once in the entire song... Lovely!

"We are building a religion/We are building it bigger/We are widening the corridors/And adding more lanes
We are building a religion/A limited edition/We are now accepting callers/For these pendant key chains
To resist it is useless/It is useless to resist it/His cigarette is burning/But he never seems to ash
He is grooming his poodle/He is living comfort eagle/You can meet at his location/But you better come with cash
Now his hat is on backwards/He can show you his tattoos/He is in the music business/He is calling you 'DUDE!'
Now today is tomorrow/And tomorrow today/And yesterday is weaving in and out
And the fluffy white lines/That the airplane leaves behind/Are drifting right in front/Of the waning of the moon
He is handling the money/He's serving the food/He knows about your party/He is calling you 'DUDE!'
Now do you believe/In the one big sign/The doublewide shine/On the bootheels of your prime
Doesn't matter if you're skinny/Doesn't matter if you're fat/You can dress up like a sultan/In your onion head hat
We are building a religion/We are making a brand/We're the only ones to turn to/When your castles turn to sand
Take a bite of this apple/Mr. Corporate Events/Take a walk through the jungle/Of cardboard shanties and tents
Some people drink Pepsi/Some people drink Coke/The wacky morning DJ/Says democracy's a joke
He says, now do you believe/In the one big song/He's now accepting callers/Who would like to sing along
She says, do you believe/In the one true edge/By fastening your safety belts/And stepping towards the ledge
He is handling the money/He is serving the food/He is now accepting callers/He is calling me 'DUDE!'
Now do you believe/In the one big sign/The doublewide shine/On the bootheels of your prime
There's no need to ask directions/If you ever lose your mind/We're behind you/We're behind you/And let us please remind you/We can send a car to find you/If you ever lose your way
We are building a religion/We are building it bigger/We are building a religion/A limited edition/We are now accepting callers.../For these beautiful.../Pendant key chains"

TODAY'S WEBSITE: uncyclopedia.org "Everything you know is wrong!" sang Weird Al Yankovic, and that's just what you'll be like if you rely on this by confusing it for the site it parodies, Wikipedia. Uncyclopedia is extraordinarily irreverent and tremendous good fun. One could literally spend hours mining its marvelously, gloriously insanely articles, newsflashes and factoids.
