Pitchfork Forkcast: WTF: Andrew W.K.: "McLaughlin Groove" (Live on "Fair Game")

WTF: Andrew W.K.: "McLaughlin Groove" (Live on "Fair Game")

There's "bad" WTF and then there's "awesome" WTF, and this is most certainly the latter. Andrew W.K.-- producer of Lee Perry and Sightings, drummer for "77Boadrum", high priest of hard partying-- was a guest on PRI's "Fair Game", and he wrote a song for the show. It's a jingle, as insanely catchy as the best of his tunes, and the lyrics are taken from famous lines spoken on the PBS mainstay "The McLaughlin Group" ("The next man on the moon will be Chinese!"). "What the..?", you ask, to which the only possible answer is, "It's Andrew W.K.". The full show, including the song, is up at the "Fair Game" website.
