Why this song is awesome:
If Evil Knievel had become a frontman instead of a stuntman, this would be his band. Everything about it makes me happy and energized, like diving naked into a pool of chilled Jell-o.
It doesn’t hurt that the lyrics make me feel like I’m not the only metrosexual-leaning male who’s felt a little petulant at the world:
I want my fans to think I’m so punk rock and roll / But all you hipsters say I’m gay / Well I’m not gay at all!
I honestly dare you not to listen to Eric sing his lines and not smile. Double dog, if necessary.
