1* CrossesTheLineTwice:
2** "I Hate Wogs", a jaw-droppingly racist song satirising the small-minded perceptions of Aussie bogan rednecks.
3** "Little Gomez" (see OutWithABang on the main page) and "He's Nobody's Moggy Now", both songs poking fun at the gruesome deaths of housepets.
4--->I buried Gomez in the park, his happy hunting ground\
5A sad but fitting finale\
6Though I had to make a grave that was very flat and round\
7‘Cause he looked like squashed tamale\
8---\
9If he tries to play on the roadway, I'm afraid that will be that\
10There will be one last despairing "meow" and a sort of squelchy splat\
11And your pussy will be slightly dead ''and very, very flat''\
12He's nobody's moggy\
13Just red and squashed and soggy\
14He's nobody's moggy now
15** "Bloody Rotten Audience," sung from the perspective of [[SmallNameBigEgo An Important Artist]] who feels unappreciated by his inferiors.
16* MisaimedFandom: Eric stopped performing his satirical song "I Hate Wogs" after being approached by a number of 'fans' who told him how much they loved the song, and how they hated wogs too. Perhaps distracted by the catchy chorus, they somehow missed the fact that the expresser of this sentiment in the song is clearly marked as an idiot and a hypocrite. One would think the fact that Eric is migrant who still speaks with a broad Scottish accent after more than 40 years in Australia might have been some kind of clue.
