This morning, KEXP [link] decided to play “How to Reduce the Chances of Being a Terror Victim,” by the XX Teens. I never heard the song, and at once, thought it quite hilarious. Originally released by Mute Records back in February 2008, the novelty track channels the deadpan delivery style notable in King Missle’s “Detachable Penis.” The inspiration for the title and lyrics was an article that appeared on the Fox News website. Indeed, it is a word-for-word rip. See for yourself [link].
