Imagine this as my assigned parking space, with the guy who always parks next to me.

Nice animation. The strip/lyrics were part of an xkcd a while back that was playing off a current Discovery (?) Channel promo spot.

Sometimes it'll be a Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday before I get a chance to check it, but yeah.

Also, I just found a neat site. Explain xkcd seems to have community authored posts that help pick out the multiple layers and more arcane and obscure references of each comic. I'm not sure how complete it is, but just going through a handful, I found a couple angles that I'd overlooked in old comics already.
