There is one song in the world that no matter what, no matter how cantankerous or disgruntled I am, how sad, lonely, full of bile and disgust and sorrow (or even just a teeny bit constipated), makes the world a truly beautiful place.
I first heard it in New Zealand, and as the opening warbles assailed my ear drums, I thought to myself "What the bloody hell is this shite?" Then the rest of it kicked it, and I proceeded to laugh so hard my underwear got just a teensy bit damp.
If you give it a listen, I guarantee that the first face you will pull will embody the term "WTF?", but by the time the song ends,you'll be laughing so hard that everything is right with the world, even if just for a short time.There is a video on youtube, but the version on the CD is worth it just for the sound quality and sheer unexpectedness of it all(sounds like some wartime 40s or 50s stuff..which makes what happens next all the better).Whenever I play it for other people, I don't tell them anything about it, not even the name.I just tell them to listen. And wait. Then they wet themselves.
Yes..the one song that will always turn a smile into a frown: Machine Gun Fellatio - "Let Me Be Your Dirty F***ing Whore"
As you can imagine, it might just be NSFW.
