Does anyone know the song from the first break of the encore episode that played on Dec. 27 of last year? I can’t find it anywhere! The lyrics played go as followed:
“through the valley of the broken runs a river of the wreckage past a mountain range of metal in a wonderland of waste, I’m a soldier of misfortune in this jungle of rejection ridin’ hard on the discarded in the ten-ton crane. Awaiting resurrection in this cast-away collection is a hidden trove of riches amid the mangled and the maimed every fender-bender, every head on and rear ender holds a cash of precious treasure that is waiting to be claimed. I’m just a miner in a motherload of misery where the fruits of faulty judgment meet the spoils of bad luck. Where the useless and unwanted find the place they can be flaunted, I’m a soldier of misfortune and a king of junk.”
Whats the music genre? I can post keywords on my Rhapsody account and if the song was ever published/recorded/copyrighted and in their library it will come up,other than that I have never heard it. Knowing the genre narrows down the search (is it folk,rap,country,pop,jazz,protest song,you get the idea).
I think that it would be closest to “Folk”'cause of the pace and the banjo. Thanks a bunch! 
Found it it is called The King of Junk by Eddy Lawrence it is folk released from a live performence in 1993. You got lucky the search to 4 min,found it with key words King of JunK
It was indeed “King of Junk” by Eddy Lawrence. It also appears on the Car Talk “Cartunes, Volume 1” CD.
