4. "The Parks" from the album "These Few" - "These Few" is both adored and despised by fans at the same time. It was once noted as Butt Nugget and the Silent Cane's farewell album (he eventually released 3 more) and contained some of the best and worst Butt Nugget and the Silent Cane songs. Without a doubt, one of the strongest songs on that album was "The Parks," the best in a long line of songs about fat chicks. From start to finish, the song was a throw back to the old Butt Nugget and the Silent Cane sound, while giving listeners a preview of the more musical artist that would later emerge.
3. "Nathan and Agnes vs. Special Examiner Victor L. Dodge" from the album "Brand New Sensation" - Though it is often criticized for being a song about nothing, few could deny the sheer insanity of "Nathan and Agnes," the lead-off track to 2006's "Brand New Sensation." Featuring a vocal performance that is unparalleled, the song is still the best song to mention Bob Hoskins...ever! Now what's not to love about that?
2. "Snatchberry Cocklepuffs" from the album "These Few" - Like "Staple Puller," this fantastic song from Butt Nugget and the Silent Cane's 2004 album was too good for one go around, and was rereleased on "These Few" in 2005. Featuring guest performances from Squeezy and The Olsen Twins, "Snatchberry Cocklepuffs" quickly became a reason to fall in love with Butt Nugget and the Silent Cane all over again. It remains one of his stronger tracks, to this day.
1. "Peanut Butter (and Jelly)" from the album "The Collapse of the Empire" - Could there really be another choice for #1. Technically, it's not a song. But this classic skit by Butt Nugget and the Silent Cane remains, not only his best skit, but his best track. Slowly but surely the tension around the characters in the skit builds. When the payoff finally comes around towards the end of the song, you can't help but laugh out loud! Demented, violent, and hilarious, "Peanut Butter (and Jelly)" will forever be Butt Nugget and the Silent Cane's greatest accomplishment.
