I did figure out the PM function, feeling like a fool for missing it the first time. Thanks for pointing it out.

And I got the lyrics -- thanks so much for sending them!

The version on Hulu right now has closed-captioning, so lyrics questions can be answered. Example: It's definitely "This appeared as a moral dilemma..."

No official song titles listed, though :)

Bix and I have discussed the captioning a bit over on the Black, and it seems pretty clear that it is wrong in places. "I hate the homeless. This problem that plagues the city" instead of "I hate the homeless....ness problem that plagues the city".

So as far as I am concerned, it is still "four sweater vests" and not, as the CC would have you believe, "for his sweater vest"

BTW, captioning aside, I'm quite sure it's "This appeared". Otherwise I spent an hour learning to do that song opening all wrong :)

Updated now with the full lyrics as much as I can make them out.
Updated again 12/29 to correct some mistakes I noticed.

Zack's Rap Song [don't know the official title]

I don't do songs
I'm all about the written word
And you should see me write graffiti
Concrete's preferred
There's nothing worse
Than hearing verse
Sound like a tweety bird
Unless it's screaming
Cause I'm [beating up a theatre nerd]
Or haven't you heard

I'm the black sheep in a band of brothers
Who sit around singing showtunes, giving backrubs to each other
Make a musical? Don't matter if it's witty, or pretty
That's a one-way ticket to [Butt Kick] City
Where you all are permanent residents
Do you need a little more [evidence]?
Dr. Horrible, hey that sounds kind of dark and cool
Sing-A-Long Blog? What the fuck is this, preschool?

Chorus:
Zack is doing us a little favor
(yeah)
[Blessing] Commentary! with his flava
(uh huh uh huh)
Don't tell him it's a musical
(no no)
Cause then he might get a song

Zack is doing us a little favor
(uh huh)
[Blessing] Commentary! with his flava
(that's right)
Don't tell him it's a musical
(?)
Cause then he might kill us all

You people are in freefall
Straight into a cheeseball
I get a message please call
My bookie buddy, he's all
What the hell is up
With you up on Hulu?
Thought we were laying low
After that hookah snafu

I said hey listen
You just misunderstood
I gotta get in on this web shit
While the gettin's good
I didn't know there were songs
That shit makes me sick
My brother said it's bout a guy
Who kills some chick

Hey weren't you the prince in the King and I in seventh grade?
No but I was backstage in the dark getting laid
Weren't you Pigpen in that Charlie Brown show we did?
No, I just wondered onstage during my homeless period
Didn't you sing about the Business in Annie Get Your Gun?
Is that what that was? I been tanked up since '91.
Weren't you the the Tinman in the Wizard of Oz or something?
Yeah, but I played the fuck out of that part

Chorus:
Zack is doing us a little favor
(yeah)
[Blessing] Commentary! with his flava
(uh huh, uh huh)
Don't tell him it's a musical
(yeah that's right)
Cause then he might get a song
(come on now)

Zack is doing us a little favor
(uh huh)
[Blessing] Commentary! with his flava
(yes)
Don't tell him it's a musical
Cause then he might kill us all

I wrote all the good lines
And I made them funny
But I was only in it
For the [whole rope] of money
Plus some were cut out
Cause Joss is such a wuss, he
Cut my line for the girl
That "Penny is my pussy"

Not to mention my [homeboy] storyline
Where he gets caught selling blow at a rest stop and serves time
And then he gets out and tries to get his shit together
And teaches art to underprivileged kids at the local high school
But things take an interesting turn when an old gambling buddy comes to collect
See? It's his former life coming back to haunt him
You can't outrun your past. See? Get it? That's the point, Joss.
It's compelling! What's going to happen to these kids?!

Chorus (3x):
Zack is doing us a little favor
(Yes!)
[Blessing] Commentary! with his flava
(I agree!)
Don't tell him it's a musical
Cause then he might get a song
(Come on!)

Zack is doing us a little favor
(Sure!)
[Blessing] Commentary! with his flava
(Here we go!)
Don't tell him it's a musical
Cause then he might kill us all
(that's a funky beat)

Zack is doing us a little favor
[Blessing] Commentary! with his flava
(Zack!)
Don't tell him it's a musical
Cause then he might get a song
(I'm the youngest!)

Zack is doing us a little favor
[Blessing] Commentary! with his flava
Don't tell him it's a musical
Cause then he might kill us all
