Reviews

Bye Bye Toad

streetfrogApril 11, 2003

It's a funny episode where two skunks take over wrib and make it easy listening. Poor Typhoon Toad is out of a job. He works for Snappy Sam, but he does a bad job. The skunks realize being a DJ is hard so Typhoon gets his job back. The featured song goes "Canned music's got no soul Not any thing like rock 'n' roll Can't hear the drums Can't hear the bass But you can hear canned music every place!"
