about

From the FuMP .com, 9/4/2007,

"The Nick Atoms" broke up in 2005? What's up with that?! Curmudgeony but lovable bass-playing robot 'Wyngarde' makes his FuMP debut with his old buddy the great Luke Ski, in this satirization of the song "I Can't Get Behind That!" by William Shatner and Henry Rollins. The rocking music is provided by Possible Oscar, of course! It can be found on Luke Ski's new CD "Baconspiracy", available now at www.LukeSki.com.

lyrics

What's Up With That?!
A style-parody of "I Can't Get Behind That" by William Shatner & Henry Rollins
Written & Performed by Wyngarde & the great Luke Ski
Idea by Earl Luckes. © 2007 Earl Luckes & Luke Sienkowski
WYNGARDE: Hey! I've got something to say!
LUKE: What's that?
(drum kicks in, guitar follows suit)
WYNGARDE: If Tim Burton is so original and so independent, why does he do nothing but big
budget movies with the major studios based on existing franchises?
LUKE: Hey! I didn't think of that before! What's up with that?
WYNGARDE: I don’t know!
LUKE: Or how about, you pay extra for caller ID, and when people call, the message reads
"Unknown caller"?
WYNGARDE: (pinching his nose as if a phone operator:) What is up with that?
LUKE: Who was that?
WYNGARDE: We've got an endless parade of classic rock cover bands.
LUKE: How come there are no classic rap cover bands? What's up with that?
WYNGARDE: Word.
LUKE: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42.
WYNGARDE: Hey hey, what's up with that?
LUKE: Dude, you're lost.
WYNGARDE: Oh, damn you, J.J. Abrams!
LUKE: How come there aren't vending machines with cans of milk? What's up with that?
WYNGARDE: Well, it would get warm and turn into cottage cheese in a can. Not only is that
gross, but that’s what's up with that!
LUKE: Well, fine, okay, well then, why is it when I go to a fast food restaurant, the
burger and soda cost more than the combo with fries? What if I want to save money,
but I don't want fries? Why am I getting unnecessary potatoes forced upon me? Does
the Idaho Mafia have Ronald McDonald tied up in a Boise warehouse somewhere?
What's up with that?
WYNGARDE: Awww, sounds like somebody needs a happy meal...
LUKE: Yeah...I do...but it comes with the fries!
BOTH: THE FRIES!!!
WYNGARDE: People are still doing Jerry Seinfeld impressions.
LUKE: (as Seinfeld:) What is the deal with that? I mean, hey! Who are these people?
WYNGARDE: Well, it's less obscure than Gilbert Gottfried I guess.
LUKE: Yuppies buy their daughters American Girl dolls at two hundred bucks a pop.
WYNGARDE: Not including the dozens of different outfits sold separately at the price of
real clothing.
LUKE: But if I collect six dollar action figures bought at Target, that makes me some
kind of freak.
WYNGARDE: Yo Joe! What is up with that? Oh, and speaking of Hasbro, if the live action
Transformers movie made you sick, just go to YouTube and do a search for Spielbay!
LUKE: Dude, did you just plug your videos in this song?
WYNGARDE: Ha ha, just call it my own personal Luke Ski moment!
LUKE: Uuuggh!!! What is up with that, Wyngarde?!
WYNGARDE: This endless parade of re-made/re-imagined movies needs to be obliterated! I will
not stop until I have Michael’s Bay head on a- severed head on a post- on a pike
in my front yard! That is what is up with that, and it’s in your face! And you
better just look the- Hell out, man! Aah!
(drums & guitar change to a slower serious groove)
WYNGARDE: But let us get serious for just one moment!
LUKE: Thousands of people are dying on both sides of the Iraq war!
WYNGARDE: While Washington is giving themselves raises!
LUKE: Taxes are too high, Education's too low!
WYNGARDE: Crime and drugs are killing this country!
LUKE: All these things are happening!
WYNGARDE: And it's not out in the mainstream!
LUKE: Buuuuuuut-
(serious groove transitions back to the previous groove)
LUKE: -Every time Paris Hilton gets a parking ticket, it's headline news!
WYNGARDE: (mock crying as Paris:) Oh my God, like, boo-hoo! I was, like, in jail for, like,
five minutes! And like, the trauma has left me unable to, like, you know, enjoy
my breakfast! That's, like, you know, why I won't eat, like, my breakfast!
LUKE: What's up with that?
WYNGARDE: She's creepy looking, that's what! All right, let's kick it!
WYNGARDE: Reality shows!
BOTH: What's up with that?
LUKE: Kevin Bacon!
BOTH: What's up with him?
WYNGARDE: Diet Jolt soda.
BOTH: What's the point of that?
LUKE: Wait, did you say "Let's kick it" back there?
WYNGARDE: Yeah.
LUKE: (scoff) What's up with that?
(drums and music stops)
JARED: Oh yeah, here we go.
(drums and music return)
LUKE: Get Ben Folds to produce a track,
WYNGARDE: By William Shatner,
LUKE: And Henry Rollins,
WYNGARDE: With guest guitarist Adrien Belew and a, and a drummer?
(music stops)
BOTH: I *CAN* GET BEHIND THAT!
(music continues)
WYNGARDE: But George Lucas altering "Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope" once a year because
he can't figure out his own movies? Doing stuff like...
LUKE: ...Having GREEDO SHOOT FIRST?!
BOTH: WHAT THE F-[bleep!] IS UP WITH THAT?!
WYNGARDE: "Megaforce" is not out on DVD. What's up with that?
LUKE: It's more like, bass-playing robots who are far too obsessed with old TV shows and
movies that nobody else remembers. What's up with that?
WYNGARDE: Oh ho ho ho, well how about people satirizing popular music to make silly little
sci-fi and pop-culture parody songs?
LUKE: Hey, there's nothing wrong nor up with that, my GOBOT friend!
WYNARDE: HEY! You wanna go?! C'mon, right now!
LUKE: Yeah, I do! C’mon!
WYNGARDE: Brian Synger making "Superman Returns" ruined X-Men 3.
LUKE: No Brett Ratner did.
WYNGARDE: Brian Synger.
LUKE: Brett Ratner.
WYNGARDE: Brian Synger!
LUKE: Brett Ratner!
WYNGARDE: BRIAN "I Hate Superman" SYNGER!
LUKE: BRETT "I Ruined X-Men" RATNER!
WYNGARDE: BRIAN SYNGER!!! YOU, GOD, AAAH!! MY OIL PRESSURE!!!
LUKE: Man, what's up with that?
WYNGARDE: Bring it home, Luke Ski!
LUKE: Baby Boomer mundane morning zoo disc jockeys, still making jokes about how "white
people can't rap?" Ha ha ha ha!
WYNGARDE: Oh, ho ho ho… It's the 21st century, you closed minded-fossils!
LUKE: ICP, 3rd Bass, Kid Rock, the Beastie Boys, and Eminem just called!
WYNGARDE: They're all going over to your houses!
LUKE: And they're going to break all your Elvis Presley records, you dumb fat ignorant
hypocrites!
BOTH: And THAT is what is up with THAT!!!
(drums and guitar stop)
WYNGARDE: WHAT IS UP WITH DAVID HASSLEHOFF?!?!?!
LUKE: I know! Gimmie another!
WYNGARDE: No, I'm done with that.
LUKE: What, hey, hey!… HEY!… WYNGARDE!… YOU BASTARD!…
Cathy, why won’t you eat breakfast?
WYNGARDE: Hey, that’s my song!
LUKE: I liked that one.
JARED: That was… decent, yeah.
