Lyrics
# KINSKI MY ASS [Intro: Rubbery overdriven bass riff, tight live disco-punk drums, syncopated hi-hats, scratchy guitar stabs. Dirty, swaggering dance groove.] [Instrumental Hook: DUN-DUN-DAH! Sharp three-note bass and guitar unison riff, repeated four times. Short rhythmic stops and snappy drum fills.] [Verse 1: Deadpan, slightly nasal male talk-singing, laid-back sarcastic delivery. Syncopated bass dominates, clipped funky guitars.] You came downstairs to see the show Stood in the back with your arms crossed low Said, "Is this some kind of elaborate joke?" I said, "Not yet," and lit a smoke You asked me what I'm trying to prove I said, "Nothing," and you looked confused You shook your head and rolled your eyes Like you'd uncovered my disguise [Pre-Chorus: Guitar becomes more abrasive, bass keeps dancing, vocal turns dismissive. Brief stop before chorus.] You had a lot of things to say I wasn't listening anyway [Chorus: Explosive garage-grunge guitars over relentless disco-punk rhythm section. Sneering melodic shouts, loose gang backing vocals.] Well, I'm not impressed! Kinski my ass! Another self-appointed genius With a name that doesn't last No, I'm not impressed! Kinski my ass! You can dress it up as culture It's still a pain in the ass! [Post-Chorus: Playful three-note bass and guitar stabs, shouted gang responses, tight stop-start rhythm.] Dun-dun-DAH! Dun-dun-DAH! (HEY!) Dun-dun-DAH! Dun-dun-DAH! KINSKI MY ASS! [Instrumental Groove: Infectious rubbery bass riff, angular guitar scratches, cowbell accents, live disco drums. Bass leads into second verse.] [Verse 2: Minimal funky arrangement, sardonic conversational vocals, loose syncopation.] You said my songs all sound the same And what's the point of having a name If nobody knows what it means? I said, "It looks good on a screen" You said I ought to act my age Get a proper job, get off the stage I said, "I have one, thanks for asking" You said, "Well, that explains the passion" [Pre-Chorus: Restless drums, bass climbs, guitars build tension.] You came to put me in my place I couldn't keep a straight face [Chorus: Full distorted guitars, funky driving bass, shouted vocals, loose gang responses.] Well, I'm not impressed! Kinski my ass! Another self-appointed genius With a name that doesn't last No, I'm not impressed! Kinski my ass! You can dress it up as culture It's still a pain in the ass! [Post-Chorus: Bass and guitar hammer out the signature three-note riff. Gang vocals more aggressive.] Dun-dun-DAH! Dun-dun-DAH! (HEY!) Dun-dun-DAH! Dun-dun-DAH! KINSKI MY ASS! [Extended Instrumental Dance Break: Hypnotic disco-punk bass groove, dry kick and snapping snare, syncopated open hi-hats, cowbell, angular guitar scratches. Gradually strip away the guitars.] [Bridge: Bass and drums only. Dry, deadpan half-spoken delivery. Awkward pauses, perfectly straight-faced.] So what did you expect? A revelation? A revolution? A standing ovation? It's a basement, mate. There's beer in the fridge. The toilet's upstairs. And the microphone's shit. [Sudden full-band silence.] [Spoken, completely deadpan] But thanks for coming. [Instrumental: DUN-DUN-DAH! Full-band unison riff. Explosive return of distorted guitars and driving dance beat.] [Final Chorus: Raw chaotic gang vocals, snarling distorted guitars, relentless bass-driven dance-punk rhythm. Maximum intensity without losing the groove.] WELL, I'M NOT IMPRESSED! KINSKI MY ASS! You've been standing there complaining Since the first guitar went CRASH! NO, I'M NOT IMPRESSED! KINSKI MY ASS! If you're waiting for perfection You'll be waiting till the last! [Final Post-Chorus: Shouted gang chant, repetitive bass and guitar riff, deliberately obnoxious and infectious.] Dun-dun-DAH! Dun-dun-DAH! (HEY!) Dun-dun-DAH! Dun-dun-DAH! KINSKI MY ASS! [Outro: Guitars drop out, bass continues funky riff, drums gradually unravel. Everything sounds ready to collapse.] [Spoken, exhausted and unimpressed] "Seriously, though..." "What did you expect?" [Half-second silence.] [Instrumental: DUN-DUN-DAH! Three-note full-band stab followed by one ugly distorted chord. Abrupt stop.]
