There are times when the collection of ones and zeroes that comprise whatever profile it is that Spotify uses to manipulate me will truly impress. “Great Job, Robot” is dedicated to those songs that the Spotify algorithm gods throw at me that I think are quite excellent or otherwise noteworthy picks. Please be advised that these posts will concern themselves with saying mostly positive things about tunes, unlike the unreasonable slag-fests that occupy most of the real estate on this blog.
I Wonder What’s Inside Your Butthole – Jolee
Yes, I know that cash-ins on viral videos are universally shameless and tacky, particularly when they involve kids. But this one slaps.
Jolee’s “I Wonder What’s Inside Your Butthole” is thought-provoking, incisive, and an absolute monster truck of a pop song. She handles her own callbacks (“I always wanna kno-wah!”) with ease and tackles a spoken word bridge with more panache than ol’ Eddie Vedder ever did. I’m kind of just sad that this track is so short and that it’s her only single.
From now on, whenever I’m missing my parents, I will know that they can always be found inside my butthole. And for this I am grateful.
I love “I Wonder What’s Inside Your Butthole” by Jolee. Great Job, Robot.
