On October 20, 1994, Jason, Harry, and Darrin ventured to investigate this urban legend. With camcorder in hand, they parked the car and sure enough the car rolled towards the tracks. But skeptics Jason and Harry were conducting an experiment to prove the road sloped downwards towards the tracks and that the road sloping downwards away from the tracks was an optical illusion when a car pulled up to them, the back door opened, and a cranky old Irish man stepped out and said to them "The best thing you guys can do is get your [donkey] out of here!" Jason and Harry made their wise guy responses and it soon turned into a heated conversation. Finally the conflict came to a head when it nearly came to fisticuffs between the Irish fellow and Jason. The best part was all of this was on video!
The video was shown to most of their friends and family and was an instant classic. Jason sent the audio of the incident from the video tape to the morning show on a local radio station who had mentioned the Albino Boy urban legend. The station enjoyed the audio so much they played it on air with their commentary. It wasn't long after that Jason recorded the "Albino Boy" song using sound bites taken from the video tape. Below is the advertisement he faxed to the radio station the day before he dropped off the tape of the song.
Unfortunately the song was never played on the radio. More than a year later he recorded another version called "Albino Boy (Dance Mix)" which was more techno/dance than the original song.
To this day the Albino Boy incident is talked about and often re-enacted where Jason and Harry work. The incident and both songs will probably live forever.
