ridiculous. awesome. ridiculously awesome.

These few ridiculous inclusions can make or save a song:

1) A choir.
2) Moderate to egregious use of cowbell.
3) Hand claps (syncopation optional).
4) Interludes / intros / outros involving elaborate whistling.
5) Gold hot pants.

And any combination of the above could lead to sheer madness. Or complete genius. Sometimes it's hard to tell between the two.

just like the james bond quote - "the distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success"
