It sounds like he took some cheesy Rick Astley-esque song, played it on piano, then added drums and a bunch of distorted guitar to make it a rock song.
I realize that very few people now know Andrew W.K. as anything but that Catoon Network show host, but I seriously love love love his music. He should make more. Just sayin.
Hundredth Comment, been listening to AWK since "Party Hard" when it appeared in Madden 03. It still is one of my favorites, but anyways, this song is one of the greatest songs I've ever listened to, only AWK can Rock'n'Roll with a piano.
He would be gorgeous if he cut and styled his hair. For some reason, the rocker-long hair doesn't do him justice, where it would others. Great music, and great background story. I applaud you for making your personal history public!
@rmlortie3 Yup and that's exactly why his music career tanked, imo. I think he was marketed poorly either by his record company or himself. My impression is that he was a piano geek as a kid and wound up taking on this forced macho rock star persona (dingy jeans, greasy hair, sneakers, etc) which didn't translate well with audiences. I was never sure whether he was being serious or had a little tongue in cheek going on. His songs, however, are solid and well produced.
I don't know why, but I feel like I'm the Nerd in a John Hughes movie, and I just beat up the Jock-Bully and am now making out with Molly Ringwald...And there are credits rolling.
This is one of those human beings who has everything. Whether born out of impossible odds or placed here personally by God's hand they were blessed with not only the talent, but the courage to pursue it and change the world because of it. May he spread positivity until the day he die and behind, and never let down.
@ecgtrombone Sry, he is most DEFINITELY playing the piano, so you are failing at giving a fair judgement. Take a look at the live videos of his shows. #fail
What a fantastic song. Its grand and epic and badass and sentimental all at once. Does anybody else agree with me Andrew W.K can be a little like Bruce Springsteen sometimes?
i am completely in love with Andrew Fetterly Wilkes-Krier he is simply amazing in everyway down to his long dark brown hair to his guitar , drums , piano playing finger tips to his torn nickes he always wears :) lol

Andrew , The name is "Markie Mark" No not the real "Markie mark"but any way me and my band members down here in Florida think this song you wrote is freakin awsome! Love to hear some more great songs good luck to you !
Andrew W.K. The dude that is capable to cheer you up with his songs when you think the best thing you can do is to shoot your god-damn brains out. I love his work, he's truly unique. :)
Awesome song, awesome video. Remember hearing this song for the first time in some NFL promo music video, where this video was mixed with epic NFL scenes, an eagle flying over Qwest Field etc. Quite epic.
UM, alrightly then. I guess I can die now, I have officially seen it all. Dude, go to the guy who talked you into making this video and said you would look cool, and smack him upside his head ;)
Reallly nice video!
