I was reading this on an iPhone so I thought this said "NO ACCORDION DRAMA" for an entire minute and just squinted at it, confused-amused :)

Fair enough. I can only think of a handful of Songfight songs which have ever made use of the accordion (one by Josh Woodward, and a couple by Octothorpe... did Jim of Seattle ever use one?), but I haven't listened to the whole archive by a long sight, so I stand corrected.

No fake accordions, Roymond. This is a fucking Supergroup.

Also, Jon, http://www.thefreedictionary.com/long+shot vs. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/long+sight. Just sayin'.
