King Missile - Happy Hour (1992)

Zelden zoiets als dit gehoord

Bizar, eclectisch maar bovenal uiterst vermakelijk album dat mij heen en weer slingert tussen...wow, wat een indringend nummer (take me home) en een zeer, zeer brede glimlach bij het aanluisteren van nummers als Martin Scorcese en het ronduit hilarische Detachable Penis.

Zie onder de beschrijving van die song op Wikipedia


"Detachable Penis" is narrated by the unnamed owner of the eponymous member. Apparently residing in Manhattan's East Village, he wakes up with a bad hangover to discover that his detachable penis is missing. After searching his apartment, calling the location of the party he attended the night before, and querying all his friends, the narrator is unable to locate his penis.

Depressed, the narrator goes to the Kiev Restaurant for breakfast, and afterwards, while walking "toward St. Mark's Place," discovers his penis for sale "on a blanket next to a broken toaster oven". The man selling the penis asks $22 for it, but the narrator is able to talk him down to $17. The narrator then takes his penis home, washes it off, and puts it on. With his penis back in place, the narrator says he is happy again.

The song contains several penis-related double entendres, including "This comes in handy a lot of the time," "I told them if it pops up to let me know," and the final line, "Even though sometimes it's a pain in the ass, I like having a detachable penis."

Detachable Penis is idd een hilarisch nummer rest moet ik eens beluisteren...
