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. |

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. |
