 * 1) 1 Radio $ingle, a song written and performed by comedy metal band Psychostick, is the best example of deprecation towards exactly what the song is titled after: number one radio singles. Using a unique humor unknown to other songs, #1 Radio $ingle follows a musical style common in hard rock bands such as Nirvana, who Psychostick seems to imitate the most musically.

Starting with woahs and yeahs, as well as a soft acoustic-eletric guitar, the song already mocks the uselessness of such terms in music lyrics, and the song draws it out as long as possible. The first verse of the song begins soon after, poking fun at how most hit radio singles are about depression, using lyrics such as: "where I talk about emotions... where I sing about how I feel so cold inside." Psychostick also uses the line "And this is where my producer told me to say yeah" to both mock and insult how many bands are forced to do what their producers say. For the record, Psychostick is purely independent: they produce, pay for, and record everything by themselves, as well as promote themselves.

The chorus is the strongest point of the song. If someone were to think back a year ago, most people will remember a song they heard on the radio, and the part of the song they will remember will most likely be the chorus. They're easily remembered for the catchiness and simplicity of it.

The second verse states that the lyrics are slightly different than the first verse. This is mocking how many songs only throw on a new twist to a previous verse. It makes the song's lyrics easier to remember, but it's not as imaginative as a different song.

"We'll sell a million albums!" has to do primarily with the band that makes a hit radio single. Because of that one song, the band suddenly sells millions of albums that song was on, despite any other, lesser quality songs on the album.

The line that starts with "Uh!" is poking fun at the random words or sounds that a vocalist will make during an instrumental portion of the song. In this song, they make it stick out more than the instruments, eluding to how annoying or unfitting such sound effects can be.

"This pretty bridge has no distortion" is a final statement, before the final two choruses, that mocks radio singles. Most of the time, a radio single is a heavily distorted song, or at least was in the late nineties, but there would be a small portion that canceled all the distortion, before going right back into it.

The final chorus is this song's final deprecation of radio singles. Most radio singles focus on the chorus, so the band played the third chorus, completely stopped for a moment, then played again to add in the final chorus. "For dramatic effect to remind you that it will be stuck in your head for the rest of your life."
