DAS RACIST and the annual indie fuxxor electronic novelty hit

this is severely sub-lonely island

if you told me this was on a new fatboy slim album i wouldn't doubt you for a second.

was hoping that 'peanut butter jelly time' track that claude von stroke did a couple years back would turn into one of these

Pizza Hut is slicing the "pizza" from its boxes and some store signs. The fast food chain will now brand some stores as simply "The Hut."

lol i totally assumed they were gonna chop "hut" because who tf uses that word any more ever

I suggest banned everyone in this thread btw

except for s1ocki

rev's in the pizza hut
rev's in the taco bell
rev's in the combination pizza hut and taco bell

dont get this track

I've only just heard this and Deej OTM. Expected this to be annoying in an awesome, boshing, insanely catchy way and instead it's just annoying in a really half-arsed sub-Flight of the Conchords way.

this is not about radio play, it's about embracing a novelty electronic song in a slightly ironic wacky way, which applies to both Doc Martin hipsters in 94 re sagat and keffiyah kidz in 09 re wacky fast food song

I think you are overthinking this man - it's more about "there have always been novelty records and people dig a good novelty record every now and then" & moreover the pop charts have pretty much vaccinated themselves against good novelty records so if you're gonna enjoy a nice stupid summer novelty jam it's gonna have to come from homemade style stuff

IOW it doesn't really have much to do with hipsters except that they're the ones making the novelty records. if Rick Dees wants to get off his ass and write a good sequel to "Disco Duck," everybody'll throw down for that too for for the time being it's people who claim Brooklyn comin w/insightful wry observations about the intersections of commercial culture & personal interaction

look for my presentation on this in Seattle this year

take that reduplicated "for" and change it to "but for" for improved readability

what a fucking vile record this is

"indie fuxxor electronic novelty hit"

is there a phrase more tailored to making me break out in hives

btw i hate fun and comedy

this is the one they talk about in the song, on Jamaica Ave and 160th

ilxor fancy-a-taco 09?

What's the buy one get one free offer on the right? Might go for that instead

PS this song is shit and at the risk of Tuomasing it all up I don't get why it's supposed to be funny

i don't know if you're 15 or something like the rest of the autogoon cru or whatever, but flannel dudes at my school were def doing the "maaaan... funk dat" thing for about 6 weeks.

fyi i'm maybe 2 years younger than you, and i do remember kids in middle school quoting "Funk Dat" but i think it was more from it being on Beavis & Butthead than that they were indie kids and it was an 'electronic' hit (is hip house really electronic music? i have no idea)

i do not care for this either

it's the tim-and-ericization of the music industry

actually this is more like sifl and olly

it's actually exactly like this:

it's the tim-and-ericization of the music industry

man, remember when the music industry was cool? when will those days come back

you're really yearning for the days of old school cool recently huh!

here's something indisputably "cool":

man, remember when J0hn used to have his own opinions instead of just accusing other people of making strawmen even when they're not?

you've only been here since 2005, you must have been looking in the archives

yeah whiney I'm sorry, you know I dig & respect you for real, but you really do sound like you're up on some the-kids-aren't-funny-but-when-we-were-kids-we-knew-what-was-funny shit here. like "the tim-and-ericization of the music industry"? newsflash man, the music industry has always been like that

i fucking love "llama school"

LOVE

p.s. prolly xpost, dont feel like reading thru this thread, but the original version is quite terrible, while the wallpaper remix is something i totally wanted to dismiss as shit but i'm simply unable to resist, while remaining completely aware that it contains numerous similarities to Electric Six's "Danger! High Voltage" including an off-key tenor sax solo

Pizza Hut has recently expanded its menu beyond pizza to include pasta, giving it some reason to alter its branding. Media and advertising trade publication MediaWeek characterized the name change as an attempt to transform its stores into hip hangouts.

just goin to chase some tail at the hut, you know

i think the wallpaper remix is a nice production job but i cant get with the song as a whole. okay, i get it, it's supposed to be a joke and rapping is funnie, right, but at least be a competent rapper to make it interesting. i cant give their (imo) dearth of technical ability a free pass just cuz it's supposed to be a joke.

this, ladies and gentlemen, has been a serious post on DAS RACIST's "combination pizza hut and taco bell"

good save cuz i was itching to sb

hmm i heard this when it first came out. don't really feel anything for it. i also haven't been in either a pizza hut or a taco bell for....well, since i was 14. i am not a fast-food chain type of guy.

that said, all my friends were really into "We Fuck You" by Electrik Red last night.

'we fuck you' is so great - really funny but it could never be mistaken for an indie fuxxor novelty hit.

Is there a dance that goes with this novelty hit? I heard it for the first time and thought of chicken noodle soup with a soda on the side immediately.

so basically everyone involved with this was high, right

this song doesn't sit right w/me. we have combination taco bell/ KFC's here

the one nearest me is a combination KFC/Pizza Hut

oakland?

yep.

Is this song supposed to be funny? Because it isn't.

Das Racist is a GREAT band name, though.

okay, just a note: SAGAT released an absolutely fantastic record on Cajual back in the day. Derrick Carter and Ron Trent used to spin it all the time in older sets.

how about Cajmere's Percolator for this thread?
