@sirspookington you're absolutely right! I googled it and found an old thread on the electricial audio forum where bob weston confirms it... heh, i've been hearing it wrong for years, always thinking it was either "fuck with you" or "fuck a jew".

[sirspookington]

@appelstr00p i can't be sure but i'm almost positive he says "how could you" not "fuck the jew" or w/e it sounds like

[appelstr00p]

@xyling No, it is "Crow", not "Wingwalker"... I like how they forgot (I suppose) to edit out the "fuck"s in "A Minute".

[xyling]

@ValasVixson Or "Crow" for that matter...it's "Wingwalker". MTV was just making it up as they went along.

[ValasVixson]

since when did shellac have song name "Pranks" and "Fire" Its "My Black Ass" and "The Guy Who Invented Fire" arse holes Music televison

I love the idea of a band that purposely limits the scope of its audience. Ambition is killing music, most band are desperate to be megastars and will tailor their sound and outlook to fit a mass audience.

MTV used to have a show about music? Freaking weird. Perhaps I'll write a telegraph about it...or have the news delivered via pony express. Those Shellac boys...they're the next hot thing.
