I was given number 469 by the number generator, and that song is Goodbye Earl by The Dixie Chicks, now The Chicks. The song was released in 2000. I have never heard this song before, or at least not that I remember. I know The Chicks nee The Dixie Chicks, but can't recall this song. I gave it a listen and you can to: Goodbye Earl
Best Attribute: Super sing-songy way to address several serious topics. And the video stars Dennis Franz, of NYPD Blue fame.
Worst Attribute: Maybe that it makes light of several various topics, but most listeners will understand the literary devices used and that the happiness and joy in the sound of the song and the lyrics is ironic and serious at the same time.

Best Line: "Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce. She let the law take it from there. But Earl walked through that restraining order and put her in intensive care."
Worst Line: "Ain't it dark wrapped up in that tarp, Earl?"
Would I listen again: Yes. I really liked the song!
