My favorite character is Philo and my favorite sequence is Spatula City.

Philo was played by the brilliant actor Anthony Geary (Luke on General Hospital). He is absolutely GREAT!

I picked "other" (I Love Rocky Road). This guy cracks me up and I had a hard time picking a favorite; but I would go with "I Love Rocky Road" and "Spam" (his parody of REM's "Stand").

His first is my favorite and it was also mentioned by two others...

Another One Rides The Bus

I think one of the network news (or maybe it was a 20/20 segment) did a story about him when he originally did that song. It was funny. That's the first time I ever heard or seen him.

Whilst "Fat" would have to be my favourite, I really liked a song called "Melanie", also on the Even Worse! album:

"I saw you in the shower, reaching for the soap.
I never would have seen you, if it weren't for my brand new tellescope!" ;D

Yeah, Even Worse was hilarious. I particularl enjoyed "Alimony", "Six Words Long", and "I Think I'm A Clone Now". Remember those?
