Creeping Out Sara

While I've never been a huge fan before, I've really been liking the new NOFX album, Coaster. I've liked a few songs before (Franco Un-American, The Decline), but this entire album is really enjoyable for me right now.

One of the highlights is one of the funniest songs I've heard in awhile, Creeping Out Sara.

It involves the band Tegan & Sara and NOFX's interaction with them backstage at a festival in Germany. From start to finish it's both catchy and hilarious. From the classic pop-rock guitar stuff (you'll notice it once you hear it), to the quintessential girl meets boy concept, and finally, to the lyrics, it's a great song.

It may be a bit over some people's heads, if you don't know the following things.
- NOFX likes drugs.
- Tegan & Sara are a band. (Good one, too!)
- T&S are Canadian
- T&S are twin sisters.
- T&S are both lesbians.

Once you know all that, the song is just hilarious from start to finish. It's hard to make a legitimately funny song, and NOFX nailed it on this track.
