My Dick reminds me of the essential Wesley Willis "suck a [insert animal species here]'s dick" canon:

There's so much out there. Downloading Wesley Willis tracks off P2P sites before youtube and torrenting was a lot of fun, especially once you found the less "popular" ones and some of the live songs. My favorite was a live rendition of "Michael Jackson" where he meandered for like 2 minutes "He says 'this next song is called Michael Jackson' like 10 times, and the audience cheers each time" before finally singing "Micheal Jackson sucks dick" and my mp3 copy cut off.

But yeah, there were two really good documentaries about him I'd also check out. He had a pretty fucked up life but managed to find a lot of people who got his music out there and booked him gigs, found him homes to rent or live in, etc later in his life. He had some true artistic talent buried underneath his absurd music and persona, he would draw cityscapes of Chicago using nothing but markers to make money when he was homeless:

This. It's like "fuck it, we are recording this." There's just enough production and effort put it in and this general stream-of-consciousness attached to it as well (notice how most of the original lyrics remained in "Dancing In My Dick" compared to say "Ironic Dick"). This could of easily been overdicked overdone and it wasn't.

Somewhere on a busted harddrive are about dozen or so songs I mashed-up in 2004 using DJ freeware that consisted of a 3 minute long mp3 recording of a friend of a friend singing "penis in the butt" in a stereotypical "DERP DERP" voice coupled with various electronic songs, ranging from d'n'b to trance to house music and closing with my personal favorite: a time-stretched version of him saying "penis in the butt" over Eno's ambient class "An Ending (Ascent)." One day I hope to find it and upload it to the interwebs, where they belong.

I don't want to remove some of the magic, but I suspect he just took karaoke versions and sang on top.

ohhhhhh..... lol that makes sense

so baby dry my dick

save all the dicks you've dicked

oh that's what dicks are made of

I'm pretty sure all Van Halen songs start out about dicks anyway

Exhibit A:

those aren't karaoke versions, there's a lot of stuff in there that wouldn't be in a karaoke version. like the vocoders. or the synth bass that is in practically every song. plus:

i don't think so, there's a lot of stuff in those instrumentals that isn't your typical bad-midi-karaoke-version. like the vocoders, or that synth bass line that crops up in practically every song. also here's a pic of my dick in the studio:

yeah, the solos in particular are way too silly for karaoke. there's one place in the alanis one where the sitar gets absolutely fucked up for a few seconds. If karaoke had moments like that I would... I would go to karaoke bars

As others have said, these are definitely not Karaoke instrumentals: the ridiculous solos, and the lack of backing vocals with the 'original lyrics'. Also the absence of any Sax solo on 'Baker Dick'.

word. it's too hi-def to be a karaoke version, karaoke versions are uniformly shitty and underdeveloped.

Fun side story. My fiance went to a Wesley Willis gig awhile back. He demanded a headbutt from her but she refused initially. He then proceeded to sing her his rendition of "Earth Angel." She then relented and received the headbutt.

Wow, that's pretty sweet.

I saw Wesley play as well, but the crowd was mostly made up of mean spirited drunk kids who seemed to make fun of Wesley instead of enjoying his performance. You could tell Wesley was getting more and more upset as his set went on. He then angrily said 'This next song is called...I'm Gonna Fuck You Up' and the crowd obliviously, drunkenly cheered loudly like they had no idea that he really wanted to fuck them up. They cheered for an encore and Wesley said something to effect of 'No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...No fuck that! I'm not sorry! Go fuck yourselves!' and got off stage. Unfortunately, the audience really hurt the experience to finally see Wesley live.

He did go around happily giving everyone headbutts with his giant bruised forehead afterwards though.

orinoco dick is my pre-sex pump up song - "WHEN MY DICK IS AT THE WHEEL"

i once played it with the lady in the room as we were getting down to business and lol she was unamused as I pranced around her with a semi singing along in my best enya impression

Surely a new My Dick album is cuming soon?
