Is Rush's "Tom Sawyer" like an open, festering wound that resists all attempts at medical treatment?

1. Is that you Creekdog?

Yeah, this is such a bad song that numerous popular artists/shows have featured this song, but then I guess the guys who do South Park, Trailer Park Boys, and several movies like I love You Man don't know anything about music.
But hey, if you want to make it public that Eric Cartman knows more about music than you do, be my guest.

1. wisecrack, gag, jape, prank, quip, quirk, sally, raillery. Joke, jest refer to something said (or done) in sport, or to cause amusement. A joke is something said or done for the sake of exciting laughter; it may be raillery, a witty remark, or a prank or trick: to tell a joke. Jest, today a more formal word, nearly always refers to joking language and is more suggestive of scoffing or ridicule than is joke: to speak in jest.
