Song of the Day 5/20: King Willonius, “Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body”
It’s not exactly life imitating art, more like reality imitating reality TV, but the Catfightin’ Congresswomen of Washington could be the hottest new show in the capital.
In last week’s episode, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Domestic Longhair) told Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Abyssinian) that Crockett couldn’t see through her false eyelashes. Crockett responded by referencing a hypothetical colleague with a “beach blonde, bad-built butch body.”
This is the AI-assisted internet era, so within hours, Crockett’s tongue-twisting insult fueled a raft of YouTube videos, in various musical styles. Let’s start with a soul tune from Los Angeles comedian King Willonius (real name Willonius Hatcher), who produced it with the help of AI.
The phrase spawned several hip-hop remixes of what amounts to a diss track. This one pares it all the way down to the sextuple B.
Naturally, a guy with a guitar wrote a country tune about the incident, but it won’t appeal to MTG fans.
This is by no means a comprehensive survey. For most people politics is entertainment, and America’s smartasses are eager to provide the soundtrack.
That’s an ROTFL, right there!
After listening a bit I went to LGM and read…
(Trump is leading in the polls, but polling is broken) …But here’s the rub–voters are morons, or at least a lot of them are. I am not talking about those with any kind of ideological commitment. Say what you want about the far right, but at least they have a marginally cohesive understanding of politics in this country. No, I am talking about the average masses who don’t pay much attention to anything and exist on vibe politics. These are the kind of people who are nostalgic for Trump, who think the pandemic happened under Biden, who think that Biden is why Roe was overturned and don’t understand what the Supreme Court even is. These are people who completely ignore everything about policy. They think Trump is this vigorous badass dude and Biden is ancient, even though Trump’s mind is turning into pudding and Biden is barely any older than Trump.
