CIVL Station Manager Aaron Levy is super deep into American Vandal right now, and with season one wrapping up on his netwatching account, season two is in full thrust at chez me! Don’t mess around though, okay?
The Vandals – “Why Are You Alive”
“One last chance to make up for your life / Fill out your donor card and give someone your eyes / Why are you alive, I see you’re eating and you’re breathing / Always searing meet and, one day maybe greeting / If you won’t stop being an asshole, give your eyes to science.”
The Offspring – “Original Prankster”

This song is relevant to our theme today only in that it samples a song that was mentioned in season two of American Vandal, when would-be Turd Burglar Kevin McLain recounts his remarking to a close friend about her singing of Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the U.S.A.”
Cream – “Strange Brew”
