    This was a song I heard on the radio a few times years ago. After it randomly coming back into my mind last night and only knowing a portion of the refrain, I was able to find the song on youtube. Always love when I'm able to find a song on there I haven't heard in a long time and don't even know the title.

    Though I still haven't figured out all the lyrics yet, it seems the song is about the Moon landing and Andy Kaufman conspiracies.
