No Picture michiel Wanna Be	#1 by michiel adams at Aug 27, 1971 at 7:27 AM EST
	"Hiro, our bass player at the time, hated that song. He thought it was obnoxious butt rock, a total rock'n'roll cliche. We tried to explain to him that the song was making fun of butt rock. We were fed up with bands beating about the bush, just using euphemisms and metaphors for the sex act. We thought we'll ditch all the euphemisms and say what all the disco dance bands had been trying to say for a decade. We were simply trying to kick all the lame-ass rock'n'roll and dance music of the '80s and late '70s in the butt. It's a parody of the whole genre of stupid rock." --Kim Thayil

No Picture DUMBASS Average	#2 by DUMBASS Thomas at Dec 21, 1980 at 4:19 AM EST
	I always crack up at the end when you hear the really deep voice yell "Fuck you!" This song is great fun.

No Picture Brad Lead Player	#3 by Brad Vincent at Sep 10, 1997 at 5:56 AM EST
	Making fun of the 80's song with sexual innuendos. Just come right out and say it, ya know.
