An episode to go along with the song:

Episode 1: Be mop a Lula

The family is at the grocery store when Jimmy picks up a pair of condoms and asks "I see these all the time, what are they?" when Rita says "we'll got about that later" and gets embarrased. (the show starts with this scene)Later she talks about the birds and the bees and starts with "Jimmy, I need to tell you about the birds and the bees" "that's how we got the kids" and Jimmy goes on an angry rant "Are you saying if I wore condoms we could've had a few kids less? Gosh DARNIT!" Later Jimmy realises that all his kids are valuable and think that condoms are just a passing trend that will go over some day

lyrics

I've always been an idiot
What does that make me?
I don't know where to go
but I go where the ego takes me
I feel pretty smart
I write lyrics with my pen
but I am still so stupid
Cant even count to ten

It's the ego and the idiot, I don't know what to do
My id is going crazy as we speak
It's the ego and the idiot, my average IQ
doesn't match my ideal that can't be beat
