Seeing his name on the songwriting credits of some of my CDs has inspired some thinking on my part- how can the Pixar man have also written very adult-in-nature songs like "You Can Keep Your Hat On" and "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)"?

Thank you for this. It's the album that can't be played in public, for anyone. But it might be one of our most important self-portraits. The infuriating, 10-cent Will Sasso impression of Newman on MadTV, then Family Guy, has further infantilized the image of Newman to mouth-breathing America, but they were never going to get his point anyway.
