Wed. 1/28/09 12:18pm From: GP

This is the best thing I have possible heard..at least for today.

Wed. 1/28/09 12:21pm From: Cecile

thanks, Kenny!
This is far better treatment than that doggerel deserves.

Wed. 1/28/09 12:22pm From: Cecile

some live by "take no prisoners"
others live by "kill 'em all, let God sort out the rest"

Wed. 1/28/09 12:24pm From: still b/p

Yeah, no cupcakerels for that inaugural doggerel.
They shoulda let some reaonably poetic kid deliver something from the podium last week instead.

Wed. 1/28/09 12:27pm From: mike in brooklyn

stop mocking obama!

Wed. 1/28/09 12:28pm From: Cupcake Dog

I live by "Nooooooo, someone be takin' my cupcakes away from meeeeee"

Wed. 1/28/09 12:28pm From: risky!

i love rock n roll, put another inaugural speech on the juke box baby!

Wed. 1/28/09 12:30pm From: Kenny G

I still have room for an hour more of these. If you want to get an mp3 to me, put it up on a server or use yousendit.com to kg at wfmu dot org. THanks!

Wed. 1/28/09 12:35pm From: RSTVMO

stop bocking yo mama!

Wed. 1/28/09 12:35pm From: Dog the Cupcake Hunter

That poem's like something I'd find and roll around in out in the yard, brother, 'cuz it's so stankerrific.

Wed. 1/28/09 12:37pm From: John McCain

Keep Mocking Obama!

Wed. 1/28/09 12:39pm From: Dr. Doolittle

If I could mock to the Obamanals....

Wed. 1/28/09 12:41pm From: RSTVMO

Bock is dead!

Wed. 1/28/09 12:43pm From: Sean Daily

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!

Wed. 1/28/09 12:45pm From: Cupcake Dog

All around us are snacks. All about us are sandwiches and cupcakes, frosting and sprinkles, each of our cupcakes on our tongues.

Someoone is baking a cupcake, frosting a cupcake, leaving it on the countertop, not watching it while it cools.

Say it plain: that many have died for this pastry. Howl the names of the dead that brought us these cakes. Brought out the mixing bowl, preheated the oven.

Picked the wheat, gathered the eggs and milk, baked cake by cake the spongy desserts, that they would leave to cool while I jumped the counter.

Some live by do unto others, then split,
others by no harm done or take no more
than will be noticed. What if the mightiest word is cupcake?

Wed. 1/28/09 12:46pm From: rok

praise song for corn weenies... say it! (plain)

Wed. 1/28/09 12:46pm From: BSI

DJ MAN RICH's rendition was a jewel. But I wonder -- if he had kept degrading it, would it eventually re-form as recognizable english, and be a DECENT poem?

Parallel universe stuff! Groovy!

Wed. 1/28/09 12:47pm From: Sean Daily

LEAVE ELIZABETH ALEXANDER ALOOOO-HOOOOONE!

Wed. 1/28/09 12:48pm From: Other Cupcake Dog

Cupcake Dog poet, I play bow to your genius

Wed. 1/28/09 12:48pm From: RSTVMO

Bach's cutter! Drinking Cutty Sark!

Wed. 1/28/09 12:49pm From: still b/p

A biscuit! A biscuit for Cupcake Dog!
Who's a funny author..? Make mummy daddy laugh! Whooizzit? Yes, whooizzit? Whowoowoowooyesyesyes!!

Wed. 1/28/09 12:54pm From: Cecile

RSTVMO, don't be sad, bock will be back in the spring.
that's why it's called maibock.

Wed. 1/28/09 12:57pm From: Jason

that Giant Pygmy was funny

"Pencils...Begin"

Wed. 1/28/09 12:58pm From: Beery Dan

Re-stock...bock..
and drink it again...
Beer tasting round by round...

Wed. 1/28/09 12:58pm From: Ike

Making love on an oil drum?! That would be uncomfortable, no? And awfully industrial. And possibly greasy.

Wed. 1/28/09 12:59pm From: Cecile

and that doesn't even get into the ick factor of familial love

Wed. 1/28/09 1:01pm From: WinstonSmith

This shit is fucking brilliant! I have to go now as I need another tissue to dry my eyes due to laughter!

Wed. 1/28/09 1:01pm From: Sean Daily

What if the most powerful words are ".357 Colt Python loaded with hollow point bullets"?

Wed. 1/28/09 1:01pm From: RSTVMO

Glenn Bock?

Wed. 1/28/09 1:01pm From: paul

so did anyone actually do one with a cello, boom box, voice, and wooden spoons and an oil drum?

Wed. 1/28/09 1:02pm From: Ed Zeppole

The mightiest word is indeed business and that is the root of the problem!

Wed. 1/28/09 1:02pm From: Cecile

Read Cupcake Dog's poem, Kenny!

Wed. 1/28/09 1:04pm From: paul

when PBR is sworn in are we gonna hear an inaugurable mayubenatorial poem remix show?

Wed. 1/28/09 1:05pm From: RSTVMO

poetry slam. damn!

Wed. 1/28/09 1:07pm From: risky!

eggnoguration!

Wed. 1/28/09 1:07pm From: Frank Footer

What was the background music during your break?

Wed. 1/28/09 1:07pm From: Sean Daily

You know, I'd expect an effort like Alexander's from a second year English major, not from someone who was doing the fricking poem for the fricking Presidential Inauguration.

Wed. 1/28/09 1:08pm From: still b/p

Somebody should run the full text of the dingus through Babelfish and share the delicous fruits of the result. I cain't do it just now.

Wed. 1/28/09 1:08pm From: Mark

Word, Sean

Wed. 1/28/09 1:08pm From: Lleyton

A woman and her son make love on the kitchen table. great!

Wed. 1/28/09 1:11pm From: Tip O' Gore

Elizabeth Barrett Browning vs Carrie Underwood

Wed. 1/28/09 1:12pm From: chris

Take Out Your Boom. I love this one.

Wed. 1/28/09 1:13pm From: Sean Daily

Ah, I was wondering when we would get to the techno remixes.

"The system is down..."

Wed. 1/28/09 1:13pm From: RSTVMO

Lettuce

Wed. 1/28/09 1:15pm From: risky!

Wed. 1/28/09 1:16pm From: Ghengis Jung

Godxiliary was amazing!

Wed. 1/28/09 1:16pm From: Frankie Valli

Thematically, I tie this sucker up neat , vis a vis your oil drum and your mightiest word, because, remember "grease" is the word...

Wed. 1/28/09 1:17pm From: Sasha Fierce

Kenny G for Chief of Staph!

Wed. 1/28/09 1:25pm From: Mark

The edifices bit had me slapping my head in astonishment first time I heard too.

Wed. 1/28/09 1:26pm From: Uncle Floydian Theory

Vis a vis?

Wed. 1/28/09 1:31pm From: timotato

Thanks for replaying this. It's priceless!

Wed. 1/28/09 1:32pm From: Me To You

Spider: This must be the end of the world! All the people turning into pigs and ponies . . . I can't let it happen to me!

Senator Exon: What is the reason for these hearings in front of the Commerce Committee?
FZ: Sex!
Senator Hawkins: Well . . .
FZ: Sex!
Senator Hawkins: Thank you. I think that statement tells the story to this committee.
Rev. Jeff Ling: "Listen you little slut, do as you are told"
Senator Exon: What is the reason . . .
FZ: Sex!
Senator Exon: For these hearings in front of the Commerce Committee?
FZ: Sex!

FZ: Bondage!
Rev. Jeff Ling: Listen you little slut
Rev. Jeff Ling: Listen you little slut, do as you are told
FZ: Sex, and lots of it
Rev. Jeff Ling: Fixed her good.
FZ: Sex! Sex! Sex! Sex! . . .

Senator Hawkins: I'd be interested to see what toys your kids ever had.
FZ: Why would you be interested?
Senator Hawkins: Just as a point of interest in this . . .
FZ: Well, come on over to the house. I'll show 'em to you . . . Really!
Senator Hawkins: I . . . I might do that.

Wed. 1/28/09 1:34pm From: Frankie Valli

So, I put no accent mark above the 'a' in 'vis a vis'...but you know, vis a vis...c'est le guerre.... par adua et alta...quo vadis...ich bin ein Ferlin Husky...

Wed. 1/28/09 1:41pm From: Sean Daily

"A Small Child" is now my favorite person in the world.

Wed. 1/28/09 1:43pm From: ArthurAvenue

Yo Frankie Valliant, exactly what the hell you talkin' about?

Wed. 1/28/09 1:43pm From: paul

this reminds me of Suburbanal Cuts. aka Petey before he discovered drugs

Wed. 1/28/09 1:45pm From: risky!

that A Small Child track was excellent! I agree, deff would liek to hear from him!

Wed. 1/28/09 1:49pm From: gigantor

Strangely, I am really enjoying this show today.

Wed. 1/28/09 1:50pm From: Kenny Jeez

Wed. 1/28/09 1:50pm From: pip

Wed. 1/28/09 1:51pm From: A Small Child has arrived

Hi.

Wed. 1/28/09 1:52pm From: re: Small Child

"A Small Child" was actually done entirely by one small child in one spontaneous, fast take. He's one of my favorite people in the world as well. ; )

Wed. 1/28/09 1:57pm From: Sean Daily

That's who I want reading the poem at my Presidential inauguration: Nathan Explosion. That would be, like, so metal.

Wed. 1/28/09 2:02pm From: some. jerk.

Wow that people like us version was actually like a milion more poetic.

Wed. 1/28/09 2:05pm From: chris

Yeah, it actually turned it into a decent poem.

Wed. 1/28/09 2:11pm From: BSI

YESS!!!!!
All roads lead back to Corn Weenie!
...and thereafter, to Cupcake Dog.
The universe is indeed a circle.

Wed. 1/28/09 2:12pm From: Sean Daily

Yes, BSI, the student has become the master. The circle is comm-pleet.

Wed. 1/28/09 2:12pm From: Cecile

yes. complete the circle, kenny.
Read cupcake dog's poem...

Wed. 1/28/09 2:12pm From: chris

Wed. 1/28/09 2:12pm From: rok

corn weenie in 2012

Wed. 1/28/09 2:14pm From: Jason

wow, this phav nosnibor into praise song for noise is great

Wed. 1/28/09 2:15pm From: Webhamster Henry

I'm so full of praise.
If I get any more praise I'd have to vomit first
Sometimes I get two or three praises in a single day.
I love praise.
I'll get every praise in New York City.
I can't even go to inaugurations anymore because I'll get all the praise.

etc.

Wed. 1/28/09 2:15pm From: chris

My bad, that one's mine. Thanks for playing!

Wed. 1/28/09 2:16pm From: Babs Toyfish

That one was great. Need to know who!

Wed. 1/28/09 2:16pm From: jan

praise song for noise- is good

Wed. 1/28/09 2:17pm From: doctor-b

I have got to know who did that "Praise Noise" thing!

Great show, too!

Wed. 1/28/09 2:18pm From: woofwoof

Kenny, can you end the show with a sensitive reading of Cupcake Dog's hilarious poem? Your audience deserves to hear it.

Wed. 1/28/09 2:18pm From: chris

Gee thanks! Dang, can't believe I didn't label that thing.

Wed. 1/28/09 2:19pm From: rok

cupcake dog sees what's on the other side

Wed. 1/28/09 2:20pm From: Sean Daily

I'm just waiting for someone to mash up Alexander's poem with the "In Hea-vun everahthing is faaaahn" song from "Eraserhead". It just seems a fit, for some reason.

Wed. 1/28/09 2:26pm From: Kenny G

Praise Noise was claimed by one, Chris Vitell

Wed. 1/28/09 2:26pm From: jan

telstar! can we hear the karioke version, so that we can sing the lyrics
ourselves?

Wed. 1/28/09 2:27pm From: Negator

Best show since, "Cake" G. You really should receive a Pulitzer or something.

Wed. 1/28/09 2:28pm From: Chris2

I wish I knew about this earlier, would have made something. This is so great

Wed. 1/28/09 2:28pm From: Webhamster Henry

Since the words are so distinct and read with nearly equal emphasis, almost any reordering will work great.

Wed. 1/28/09 2:30pm From: RSTVMO

Visa V?

Wed. 1/28/09 2:36pm From: paul

marky mark!!!!!!!

Wed. 1/28/09 2:38pm From: Kenny G

Yeah, the next group of commissioned pieces will be Bubble Blower Remixes... coming soon..

Wed. 1/28/09 2:39pm From: Sean Daily

I'm sorry, but I have to say this: Doesn't this poem sound like something a college student would pull out at Open Mike Night at the campus coffee house?

Wed. 1/28/09 2:40pm From: andy

Sean- it was written for americans

Wed. 1/28/09 2:40pm From: paul

hey wait. this isnt the obama over the rainbow remix contest

Wed. 1/28/09 2:41pm From: texas scott

o m g o m obama

Wed. 1/28/09 2:43pm From: detroitdave

This guy seems focused.

Wed. 1/28/09 2:43pm From: Gigantor

Praise song of the Cylon Centurions?

Wed. 1/28/09 2:43pm From: Laura L

Kenny G, will you also do One Big Area Remixes? Let 'em fight it all out!

Wed. 1/28/09 2:46pm From: Kenny G

Laura,

What is One Big Area?

Wed. 1/28/09 2:47pm From: WinstonSmith

"From: andy

Sean- it was written for americans"

This is quite the case. It can easily explain why the poem has all the edginess and imagery of a commemorative postage stamp.

Wed. 1/28/09 2:48pm From: BSI

Bubble Blower remixes now? Egad! I'm still wrappin' my head around Ken's evil Corn Weenie project....

...you ever try wrapping your head around a corn weenie?

I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT... not without tranquilizers.

Wed. 1/28/09 2:49pm From: Laura L

It's the Jim Roche piece with the catapults, knives, greazy slickies and Mickies--you know that piece? You put them all in one big area and let 'em fight it out. I have it on a cassette tape...

Wed. 1/28/09 2:49pm From: RSTVMO

A blanket with sleevies!

Wed. 1/28/09 2:51pm From: BSI

Corn Sleevies!

Wed. 1/28/09 2:53pm From: Cecile

Cupcake dog poem! Can you imagine writing that without opposable thumbs?

Wed. 1/28/09 2:53pm From: texas scott

CORN WEENIES!

Wed. 1/28/09 2:53pm From: Kenny G

Ah, yes, Fight it Out. It's too dirty. Couldn't play it or any remixes on the air. By the way, the MP3s of Jim Roche's record are on ubu:

Paw-etry?

Wed. 1/28/09 2:55pm From: Vicki - People Like Us

just got in from Newcastle - sorry to pipe in right at the end - will listen to the archive as soon as it's up! Ms Us.

Wed. 1/28/09 2:55pm From: Joe G.

"Ah, yes, Fight it Out. It's too dirty. Couldn't play it or any remixes on the air."

Isn't it great to be in Amerika, the nation that has fallen off the map of the world?

Wed. 1/28/09 2:59pm From: Laura L

Yes, I guess One Big Area has too many intolerable words. Still, an excerpted version could be awfully good.

Wed. 1/28/09 2:59pm From: Frankie Valli-a-valli

Ooh la la! Je t'aime! Vis-a-vis! Mais oui! Allonze! Fait accompli!
