After the vampire bird sucked blood out of me,
He started stabbing me in my ass
Then three more vampire birds stabbed me in my ass too
They sucked the blood out of me, killing me

Thanks to WW, I know that Rock'n'Roll McDonald's is a real place, and I know what a CTA bus is.

He did more for broad knowledge of Chicago than Blues Brothers and Ferris Bueller combined.

♫ Let us be partners, we'll marry our fortunes together ♫ By writing some brand names into our songs ♫ So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner's Pies, and walked off to sell for America ♫

Sounds like someone could use a friendly head-bump.

Today is Talk Like a Pirate Day. I propose that we declare May 31st as Talk Like Wesley Willis day.

Rock over London, Rock on Chicago
Wheaties, Breakfast of Champions

I could spend three dollars and sixty-three cents on Diet Coca-Cola and unlit cigarettes.

Came in here to pay my respects to Wesley. Music that kicked the ass of any traditional definition of music, some really catchy stuff, and one of the early internet fame pioneers. Him and Anton Maiden, RIP.

/RIP Wesley
/Whup Jesus' Ass and write us a song about it while you're at it

I remember my dorky skapunk crew was about some WW back in the day. I think just because he was on Alternative Tentacles.

Wonder what Jello's up to these days.

suck a hyena's ass with heinz tomato ketchup...

/thanks, WW.

There was a time that I would say 'rock over, london. Rock on chicago.' and then some company's slogan - my favorite was 'Ford, We build Excitement!' - every time I finished a conversation with my wife. We're still married, but only because I stopped doing that.

Wesley wrote a song about my brother. Unfortunately it's only available on a bootleg that I haven't been able to find.

So which Farkers have received a head butt from Wesley?

I learned the names of more animals from listening to Wesley Willis than I do from the Discovery Channel.

Suck a cliff springer's ass farking jerk!

RIP WW. I'm glad I got to see him live. Way ahead of his time.

I was going to link to the Wesley Willis Song Generator, but it appears the site has a few glitches...

Anyone know what happened to http://www.monzy.org/wesley/ ?

(the generator is at the bottom of the page)

Batman beat the hell out of me and knocked me to the floor. I got back up and knocked him to the floor. He was being such a jagoff.

Sigue Sigue Sputnik sold advertising space on their record in the 80s.

Of course, that was a publicity stunt, but what about Sigue Sigue Sputnik wasn't?

/shoot it up shoot it up
