This is probably going to be one of the weirdest videos you have ever seen. Let me put it right out there, this video has a lot of penises in it, you don't actually see full frontal male nudity but there boners and drawn penis. However it should have them considering what the song is about. In a nut shell (pun intended), it's about a boy who doesn't want to go through with the Xhosa ritual of becoming a man. I can't say I blame him since it involves cutting off your foreskin with at the age of 18. Not only that but they don't use clean tools. If this ritual is not done then said male is not considered a man, and you are looked down upon. The video is about how the dude does not want to be a man, he wants to stay an "evil boy for life". There is an interview with the band here. I suggest checking it out it's super interesting. Now about the band, or should I say South African rave-hip hop group, Die Antwoord. I seriously can't even describe the band, they are like aliens from another planet to me. I do know I love the music and delivery. If you can't understand half of what they are saying don't feel go crazy trying to. The lyrics switch between Afrikaans, Xhosa, and English. I think the part I like best about this band is that I don't understand them. When I say that I mean that as a whole. They confuse me. I love them but I'm not quite sure why yet. Did I mention you can stream thier new album on their website?

VIDEO NOT SAFE FOR WORK




I also suggest checking out some of their past projects..
Max Normal.TV - You Look Stupid

One of the reasons I love Ozzy, meaningful slow songs. I never knew this gem existed.


This is amazing tripped out animation. The music isn't bad either.


Titus Andronicus are the new emo. The lyrics are filled with depressing and dark lyrics. The music is hard, gritty and filled with frustrated anger. Where was this band when I was 16?
Titus Andronicus - A More Perfect Union

Just a cool song I came across.
Baxter Durry - Oscar Brown

Do you like hockey? Do you like monkeys? Do you like silly songs about monkeys playing hockey? If you do push play. If not, then you take life way to seriously. Lighten up you sourpuss.
The Zambonis - Hockey Monkey

Favorite line of this song "If I were a tree I'd give you wood." Hey, The post started with penises, so it only seems fitting to end with penis joke.
