Some of his music is genuinely tender and touching, while remaining... weird. Consider for instance, his song from the point of view of Pluto's moon Charon. I can see them in my minds' eye holding hands, spinning around and around each other.
Other songs are hilarious. Listen to "Podsafe Christmas Song" if you want to laugh. The lyrics are just the tip of the iceberg of what's funny about it:
We want a podsafe Christmas song
We want a song that’s safe to play
Don’t think us rude
We don’t want to get sued
By the thugs at the RIAA
We have been good the whole year long
Santa don’t delay
Give us a podsafe Christmas song
To celebrate Christmas day
