Oh. Yeah. Here’s what I like about JoCo’s style… other people write funny songs. The problem is, they’re writing funny songs. And they know it. And that kind of spoils it a bit. And often it spoils them, because they feel they’re expected to be “on” all the time. JoCo writes songs that are funny. It’s a matter of perspective. He simply ignores the ridiculousness of the premise and writes a perfectly straight song from the heart. So what if it’s the heart of an evil genius, or a vampire? You’re grabbed by the empathy of the song first, and then sort of mid-way through the lyrics you find yourself saying, “Hey, wait a minute….wtf?!”
I like that.
