By now you should have realised my penchant for strange and deliciously alternative bands. Well, they don’t get much stranger than Machine Gun Fellatio. MGF are Australia’s answer to Ween, who have been commonly referred to as a ‘jack of all trades’ band, whereby they can change genres with ease. Well this song is a more rock orientated departure from their previous songs; the sombre Unsent Letter, the upbeat Rollercoaster and the a cappella (Let Me Be Your) Dirty Fucking Whore. Regardless of their history, in What The Fuck? MGF manage to essentially deliver an anthem for the apathetic people.
The song discusses the art of not caring. To put it bluntly, the song is a about Pinky Beecroft (the singer) essentially saying “What the fuck do I care? I’ve got bigger problems.” However, the message is delivered with great eloquence, which is actually quite surprising. But the song’s upbeat and catchy atmosphere manage to overshadow the message of the song, and actually make the song seem to be of a totally different nature. But despite this, the song is able to be not only fun, but incredibly serious whilst raising a good point.

Let me take you through a rundown of what the average listener might say when they listen to this song; “What?” That’s right. This song does not make a lot of sense, other than the obvious theme which is about how the perfect girl has turned into something other than perfection. But somehow, the strange metaphors and confusing sayings manage to make this song almost sensible. It’s strange, but the strangeness manages to make the song normal. If you can work out why the heck that is, you know where to find me.
