Is he depressed or is he a mess? Quick question: This has been bugging me for about 3 months now so I really need an answer. In the TMBG song: Rhythm Section Want AD, their is a break from the main melody and they bust out in a jazz song at about 1min and 10sec into the song. For the love of all that is cheese would somebody please tell me what that song is called! Thanks. ---

I gotta admit, I’m totally confused. . . I saw this song (and what a great one it was!) on Animaniacs. Anyone got a link to the **complete** verses and even the song itself? Tripler I hate to ask, but the song is stuck in my head incorrectly! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/particle-man-particle-man/72522.md?page=2)
