Grab, you have to hear "Figaro Todd" on the CD. Writing out the lyrics just doesn't do it justice. There are incredible sound effects throughout the "Helium" CD and John Forster's writing is satirical and hillarious. The "Helium" track has him inhaling helium and singing very high (at one point he goes so high that he disappears (sound effect: dogs barking). Then his take on gays in the military "In the Closet" (sample:
'Senator Nunn was under the gun
So he launched a special probe,
Which found that gays upset your average normal homophobe.
"Can't be done," said Senator Nunn.
"Why not?" said Bill and Al.
"You put the fruits in combat boots
And there goes your morale!"')
OJ Simson gets the treatment in his poem "The juice a la Seuss".

In his first album "Entering Marion" (a pun on signs on New England roads in the title track), he skewers Paul Simon "Fusion", The Germans "Whole" (goes the whole gamut, including Valkeries), The Japanese "Article Nine", McDonalds "Big Mac Tree", Shallow people, Codependent people and provides an explanation for several oddities of humanity ("Tone Deaf").
