Cook it Up

Aesop Rock : Bazooka Tooth

This song is one of the few Aesop songs I've actually sat down and tried to decrypt (now that I have a reason to). As I've said plenty of times before I'm not the greatest at trying to figure out songs. I think I did an alright job on this one though.download adobe photoshop c2

It's obvious in this song Aesop bumps into a girl that is love at first sight. One thing though - he doesn't want love, only companionship (and of course, animal-like sex). It's really a funny song. He obsessively explains to her his position on how he and her can work. He makes demands saying that he won't accept her unless she accepts him and all of his crazy. Then, in the end she explains her position too - with a well placed punch to the face.download adobe photoshop c2

PFAC (Party Fun Action Committee) also lends their talents at the end singing (in glorious falsetto) about how Ace doesn't want any strings and explains that, "...if you love television and manic depression, get a carton of cigarettes and we can make it happen." It's actually making me chuckle right now thinking about how they sing it.download adobe photoshop c2

The beat's really cool with horns and strings dispersed rhythmically throughout. It's a slower beat but of course Ace loads up the words and it doesn't necessarily feel that way. Sound effects emphasize the craziness of the game spoken by Ace and it's great.download adobe photoshop c2

makes me think of: whenever I listen to Aesop Rock I think of how he looks from the pictures I've seen in mags, but, in my head, for some reason I add Zach De La Rocha dreadsdownload adobe photoshop c2
