I’ve seen Bayliss crack a smile when people yell Lick Balls. I’ve also seen people in the crowd extremely confused.

Prowler is just one of those great old-fashioned quirky UM instrumentals that they don’t write anymore, but at least they recognize these songs need to be present in the shows sometimes for UM to be UM. (You could say the same of Wormbog too, actually.) It’s also a great segue launching pad for a wide variety of songs. Prowler > Bottom Half is a favorite of mine, and of course Prowler > 2nd Self is a classic.

I know they played at least one prowler which they dedicated to R. Kelly. That was sweet of them
All in Time, Divisions, August, etc. are classic UM songs, but I think Plunger, Bridgless, N2F, DBK are examples of UM songwriting at its finest.
Night and day comparisons with Whistle Kids.

The BLBC that begins that segment is insane. Good shit.

Not that anyone asked, but if I was going to pick the quintessential five, it would be:
Resolution
Dump City
Ringo
Much Obliged
Nothing Too Fancy
At least those are my favorite “Classics”…

I don’t think I could pick a top 5 UM songs

Front Porch
HBB
DBK
Ringo
and the sleeper pick of Much Obliged.
2x2, probably
Last one is hard … Wife Soup, August, Plunger, Ringo, 1348 are all coming to mind as top 5 worthy. Bridgeless and Jajunk maybe make that list, too.

Hard to leave DBK off the list but had to put Bridgeless in over it.
