- Alternate Titles: “You’ll Likely Pass The Brunner Test When You Are Old” (although the song may not necessarily sing about just passing the Brunner Test. It may go over what else one may pass when they’re old, but a decision has yet to be firm on this one, as of 9-23-2018.)
- A junior lawyer I spoke to mentioned that the Brunner Test to discharge student loans in bankruptcy, is more likely to be passed when the debtor is a senior citizen, because job prospects are generally diminished for those of a more advanced age, so the chances of getting a better income through a better job is reduced.

- Somewhere in the lyrics the line must occur: “Oh, I have heard you, the first forty times!” This was when I suggested that he make other friends too so that he doesn’t have to rely on only me to do stuff for him all the time.
- The ballad must describe the numerous times he’s asked me for money (and only paid me back once), the times he’s asked me for rides, even at inconvenient times, and etc.
- The ballad ought also to mention somewhere how most of his teeth have rotted away (due to “bad enamel”) although he drinks alcohol very frequently, and has had sugary drinks pretty often for about all his life, which would contribute to tooth decay and tooth loss.
- Somewhere in the ballad must also mention the fact that he wears plastic dentures that, when they turn yellow, he tries to re-whiten them by lighting a lighter’s flame to them, despite the fact that better solutions (like Polident), baking soda, whitening toothpaste, and etc. also exist.
