Sure, the music is great, but where was The Odortones in history? Well, I’ll tell you: 218 BC, Hannibal attempts to cross the Alps with war elephants – who do you think planted the slippery banana peels on the mountain slopes, causing the elephant army to plunge to its death, thereby saving the Roman Empire?

The Odortones. 32 AD, Jesus doesn’t want the responsibility of dying for humanity’s sins – who do you think told Judas to sell him out, thereby ushering in a New World Order in Western Europe? The Odortones. All well and good, you say, but what has The Odortones done lately? The Odortones has changed its pace and become the new voice of all the most controversial issues of our day, becoming whistleblowers in the face of our current national crises: Whether its campaigning for unicorn reelection, keeping Saddam Hussein from eating bunt cake before he was hanged, ensuring that all chipmunk-people uprisings are quelled and executed, keeping emo kids lovable, or lobbying for Børk Nägar to write another country record- The Odortones will be there, fighting for truth, justice, and our national freedoms. Plus, their rattle player is SEXY.
