The freshest sound since the creation of polka, this quartet could be seen in the dictionary next to the word funkadelic (if that is in fact an actual word).
The collaboration of the personalities of four eccentric individuals that fuse to become the highly original, highly skilled and highly funky group known as "Who's on First."

Story behind the song
Some say you shouldnt judge a book from its cover, and such is the case for one kindly sub who walks proudly through halls of education with a genuine love for his craft. Though to many a substitute teacher means an absence from work, this beacon of knowledge shared his wisdom to his temporary students, passing the contagious gift of spirit and hope. To have TJ and not emerge from the experience a wholer and more complete individual, would be to waste one of lifes most graciously tapable resources.
Lyrics
I know a man, a teacher, a scholar, a friend He's the read deal - he'll never pretend He knows too much, too little, just right He told me he'd bark but he never did bite He's a sub, doesn't get his dues Life is yours, you got nothing to lose So fly to the sky on your broken wings Sampling all of life's greatest things The joke in life is seen through you You're nothing, you're no one, and everyone too
