Interestingly they have a guy in their group - first guy to be in the group - and he is a soprano! Words don't do justice...
> Larry, I saw the Arrogant Worms and they were fun. The songs are great, like "I am Cow" and "I Pulled My Groin"... but the chaotic improvised repartee was what made them really worth watching. They felt a little "lightweight" compared to some of the other acts there.

He told one about this guy who was working some abandoned gold mines on government property. In order to get in and out without being noticed he had to bring in dynamite on a pack mule. One night there was a bad storm and he was struck by lightning. All they found the next day was a big hole, the miner's hat and the back end of the mule. But thanks to the modern miracle of plastic surgery they put all the pieces together and now he's the President of the United States! ;-)
