You farted, didn’t you?

A funny song themed around farts that begins with a sad-sounding intro.

Over a mellow, old-school folk-song vibe, it carries silly, fart-related lyrics from start to finish.

If someone suddenly started singing this, it would be hard not to laugh, wouldn’t it? lol Back when Flash videos were popular on the internet, there were videos that used this song too.

For a fart-themed song, it might just barely be acceptable even for large-group karaoke, right? lol Whether you know it or not, it’s a track anyone can enjoy.
