Steve's Song
Play this song for Steve whenever he enters a room, so at first he'll be like "All this? For me?" in that fake-humble thing Steve does all the time, but then pretty soon he'll be like "Wait, why all this for me? Something feels off about this. I know Copland when I hear Copland. Is this some kind of joke on me? Is this because I called his music 'sentimental hogwash for backwoods yokels' that one time? It is, isn't it? That son of a bitch." Yeah, Steve, that's right. Who's the "artistically decrepit populist sellout" now, Steve? That's what I thought.
