The Only Resort

"The Only Resort" is a song from the Every Ape and His Brother collection Morbid! The Horrendous Hobo!!!. It is a parody of Papa Roach's song "Last Resort." The earliest version of this parody existed in June of 2003.

Overview
We're introduced to DJ Duckslaughter: a man who is obsessed with the harvesting of poultry, and gives musical lessons on how to do it. Instead of talking about suicide, he offers his thoughts on killing chickens. It is a very rare thing that anyone, let alone Papa Roach, would discuss the killing and eating of birds in a song like this. The humor comes from the absurdity of the notion that someone would be so into the act of butchering birds that they'd devote an entire song to that instead of applying something more traditional (like "Last Resort") to a screamo anthem.

DJ Duckslaughter is convinced that the only way to prepare enough food for his upcoming feast is to kill every chicken in his pen. He will consider no other option. The chickens must die!

Reception
AmIRight has given the song; out of two votes; 3 out of 5 stars for pacing, 4 out of 5 for humor, and 4 out of 5 for an all-around rating. This means that of the few on that site who have graded it, results have been mostly favorable. In fact, Jeff Reuben, an editor for AmIRight, made particular compliment about the creativity of lines in the song such as "don't give a cluck," which make jokes out of the language in the original Papa Roach song.
