But we're too authentic!
As you all know Foz the Hook has led the Kids Rebellion ever since Roger Daltry got fooled again back in '79. And if The Who can get off their respirators and acquire some good new ear horns they might lead a new uprising. If so, we'll be there to wheel them on stage.
But to get to the point, most people know that pop music is basically the same three or four chords played over again with new (or not really new) lyrics. We get it. Foz the Hook is no different. For instance, we know that Mr. Poorluck Buys Some China, Pt. 2 (6 chords give-or-take) would be pointless if we didn't steel Lalo Schifrin's fab Mission Impossible theme. We know that With Drunk Astronauts (6 chords I think) is just Debussy's Clair de Lune with a hemorrhoid. We know that Theme of the Guys From France (No chords that anybody can recognize) is really just Love Hurts on Crystal Meth. Gin-Soaked Yankee (15 chords) is the only song quite like its self, except maybe Raymond Scott's Powerhouse. But someone had to say it.
A big hat tip to Jeff Drake for pointing out this hilarious comedy band, Axis of Awesome, from Down Under. Enjoy it, and then come to Cole's tomorrow night and we will play many funny songs together. We play at 9:00. Cameron Esposito and the comics are on at 9:30.
