Picture it: 1992. A young(er) Uncle Polt just graduated from college the year before, and was working fulltime at a drug store. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" had broken out the previous September, and grunge and alternative music were everywhere. Uncle Polt is overjoyed, as finally the music of the late 1980's (rap, crap, sap, and heavy metal) is being pushed off the radio by Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, etc. And this is music Uncle Polt can relate to and enjoy.
And then he hears this really weird song on the radio, but he loves it! He runs out and buys the CD and loves the whole thing! unfortunately, not many other people do, cause this was their only real hit. The song came and went in a matter of months. But it's always had a fond place in Uncle Polt's mind.
Fast forward 15 years. Whilst wasting his life crusing the Internet, Uncle Polt stumbles onto this on YouTube totally by accident. And screams like a teen girl when he finds it! I didn't even know they MADE a video of the song!
Ladies and gentlemen (and all of the rest of you too), I give you "Hobo Humpin Slobo Babe" by the Swedish band Whale. Enjoy. Or don't. Whatever. I'm just reliving the memories that come with the song.
