I once went on a stone cold sober rant for one and a half hours on the semiotics of Wesley Willis songs, and I am afraid if I try to do the same with Achewood I may end up pulling a Niezsche and ending up paralyzed and mad.
I'd be interested to know what you made of Wesley's aggression / affection device : in "Arnold Schwarzenegger", for example, he exclaims that Arnold is both "a low down rotten man" and "the best man that I have ever liked", his "big millionaire".
And, surely, you've got Ideas in re: the selection of animals, both wild and domestic, to be fellated or otherwise sodomized by celebrities, bus drivers, &c. - Saddam Hussein and a snow leopard? I am interested in these Ideas.
The rant started off simply, with a descripion of the typical wesley willis format;
A x 4
Title x 4
B x 4
Title x 4
Rest x 4 (length of one stanza)
C x 4
Title x 4
Rock over London, Rock on Chicago
Ad Jingle
and then, to explain the syntax of the verses A, B, C - with description of his 'buddy' songs, you know where he picks the name of someone and claims to be his best friend.
The structure is pretty consistent for the A stanza:
You are my A to the B
You are my A to the B
You are my A to the B
I like you like C
where A in { friend, buddy }
where B in { end, max, long run}
where C is some commercial product of exceedingly bad nutrition (ham, Cool Whip, etc.)
It's usually in that order, too: "you are my friend to the end, you are my buddy to the max, you are my friend in the long run, i like you like cool whip."
Or the structure of his concert review songs:
A played last night at B (B is usually "The Metro")
About C people were in attendance
The jam session was awesome
It whipped a D's ass
where D is usually snow leopard, llama, honey badger, donkey, etc.
I could go on, but I really do have to work, i haven't even touched the internal structures and analyzed what may have been going on in his head; this is merely description so far. Keep bugging me and I'll keep giving tidbits on the matter.
Also, the world's worst porn name is Urine Macgregor.
