Excellent, Harry! I'm glad you liked it like I do!
I even choreographed this piece for four dancers and the dance was performed in a series of dance concerts! And at one of the performances a young boy was repeating loudly Laurie's words -- when he repeated "in a Dairy Queen," he kept laughing, as did the audience -- whether they were laughing at his repetition of lyrics out loud, or the humor of the piece itself, the audience and boy all were laughing. I loved that boy's in-the-moment participation in the whole 80-seconds-long dance/aural experience!
:) The dance was well-received and people really seemed to like it -- they were very intensely silent, seemingly in an initial wonderment at the beginning of the song/dance of "what-is-going-on?/what-is-this-music?" and very vocal then when the humor of the lyrics comes through. And, again, that lone young boy repeating out loud the entire lyrics when they became understandable. So fun! :)

I take my first comment back! Ha! From the nude silhouette of a guy and then by only the two-minutes mark, this video was nailing some dead-on fun of my kind! Ha! Great stuff, LyricalOne! :)
At the 4:00 mark: A performance from when he was older. (had lost the original Emo look.)

I'm sorry, Harry -- I had to stop watching after #5 - - I didn't know about some of the details spoken about in #5, though I had heard of this event. And then saw/heard what #4 was - - about the syphilus/Tuskegee(sp?) -- had to stop. Like the video says -- it's disturbing, indeed.
The video is good choice for this question, though! :)
