Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

Perfect. Have I got the song for you. Then you have got to listen to this version of Smash Mouth’s immortal “All Star.” What’s so special about it? Well, all of the notes in the song are auto-tuned to C. This is a disorienting, terrifying, and maddening ride that will make your week very, very weird.
Prepare yourself for the worst song of the year.
