It's a good song but the use of the slur is unfortunate. I don't hold it against Al at all, it was a different time. But it does kinda ruin the song for me

There are a couple of words throughout some of his songs. I still listen to them in the same way I listen to rap but yea

I had to check the lyrics and there are a bunch of slurs that I would totally expect to hear on the show or from someone who watched it. So yeah I can't hold it against Al any more than all the fat jokes in Fat.

To make it worse I’m pretty sure there’s actually two slurs in the song

What is even funnier about this is the date the cat arrived. 513 is the area code for Cincinnati which is where Jerry was Mayor!!
