(I Want) Angela Gossow's Underpants (Ya-Ya-Ya)

The general rule at the dawn of the early 21st century is that in the absence of happy beverages gentlemen do not sing songs about ladies' underpants, but the corollary to this rule is that ladies do not sing songs that include the phrase "carnivorous Jesus" in a style reminiscent of rowdy sailors on shore leave, hence while ARCH ENEMY is one of our favorite bands and we certainly think that Angela Gossow is beyond cute, we decided on January 1, 2010 to abandon logical thinking and to join all the other lunatics on the planet who apparently are working overtime to make complete and total fools of themselves, which certainly is "mission accomplished" for this music video . . .

The background on this is that several months ago we somehow discovered ARCH ENEMY and started listening to their hit song "Ravenous" over and over and over, during which time we realized that Daniel Erlandsson is the greatest double-kick drummer on the planet and that Angela Gossow might be the hottest woman in the world, which was fabulous until we listened to the song enough times actually to understand some of the lyrics, and since achieving balance in the universe always is a worthy goal and the aliens from outer space were not beaming us any lyrics for the "Happy New Year (I'm Not Wearing Underpants)" song that we were planning to record for the upcoming "Holiday!" album, everything just happened naturally in a curiously organic way . . .

And while there are so few words that the title of the song doubles as the lyrics, in early market testing and previewing among various focus groups, we discovered that audience reactions often involve deeply philosophical and thought-provoking albeit subtle religious overtones, which is one of the things that using a pair of DigiTech® Whammy pedals on The Fabulous Fifty Million Dollar Trinaural Stratocaster® tends to do, especially when combined with DISCO party lights and a fog machine . . .

Of course, this has nothing whatsoever to do with what recently has become the annual Christmas Day Brawl at the Church of the Nativity, where Greek Orthodox and Armenian priests battle each other with broomsticks in an absurd extravaganza for which there are not enough years in Purgatory for the necessary punishments, but so what . . .

It is silly song, and there certainly are no hidden messages or instructions on how to build a Hilbert Space Hopper Drive™ that gets its power from the Mirror Matter Popcorn™ which was found in the desert outside Roswell, New Mexico in the late-1940s . . .
