I whupped Batman's ass

This is a thread about the truest, baddest american recording artist in history.

The one true gangsta.

The hardest son of a bitch since God.

This is a thread about Wesley Willis.

WesleyN.jpg

He could sing a song about Oprah Winfrey and it would be poetry in action.

He could sing a song about how you need to cut your mullet off, and it could set the most jaded man to crying.

He could sing a song about how he is sorry that he got fat, and it would sound a lot like his other songs.

God bless you, Mr. Willis. May you rest in peace.

    He wrote a whole lot of songs.

    And they pretty much all followed the same structure.

    He also really, really fucking hated Batman apparently.

    I mean, I know a lot of people appreciate his music ironically, but I honestly can not think of an artist who can put a smile on my face and get me feeling happy better or more consistently than Wesley Willis.

    I saw him in Philadelphia once. He performed a special song that he had written just for that show, called "Lick A Bulldog's Nasty Asshole." He played exclusively from his latest album, and the only "rerun song" he would permit was "I Whupped Batman's Ass."

    Willis wrote songs about everything. I mean, he wrote a song about losing his shit in a store and getting kicked out.

    Felt sorry for him though. Songwriting was pretty much his only solace; he said it kept the demons out of his mind or something like that.

    Wesley Willis was on Howard Stern once. He had about 15 minutes of air time, and guests usually have to put up with Stern's boring bullshit like "Do you do anal?" and all that retarded crap because they're too polite to tell him to cut it out and also because he'll boot them from the show (I heard him boot David Spade because Spade felt that talking about anal wasn't wise when he had just gotten a network TV show). In Willis' case, however, this didn't happen. Wesley just owned that show for 15 minutes, told Howard what he felt like doing and then did it, answered or didn't answer questions as he saw fit, just basically went in there and made it his show for 15 minutes.

    EDIT: He also sold Stern a drawing without agreeing on a price, then said it was $1000 or something after Stern agreed to buy it. Pretty sure the sale didn't go through, but he made Stern squirm.
