The guys in the satirical bluegrass/folk band Austin Lounge Lizards want to set the record straight about a few things. For instance, newts the animals are nothing like Newt the politician, as their song "Gingrich the Newt" makes clear. ("Newts are open-minded; flexible and cute"). If a song like that tickles your funny bone, you'll surely like their other left-leaning comedy numbers, like "The Ballad of Ronald Reagan," for instance. They also spend time poking fun at their Southern roots-they are actually from Austin-telling absurd tales and writing some pretty funny love songs, such as "The Dogs, They Really Miss You."
