about

The development of "Fukkus" demonstrates the process of CHAW.

Fukkus started as a seedling. What usually happens, is Mike gets to practice with a "story" about his day. This story is often peppered with a heavy dose of humor, and eventually the whole band rolls over laughing. Marcus starts cracking jokes, Stephe and Mikey join in, and within a minute, Marcus or Stephe or Mikey start riffing on "you should write a SONG about that!".

in this case, Mike actually did. The seed came from a Ford Focus Mike was working on. everything was all rattles and clunks. He kept on bitching about Fords, and the shitty cars they make and market to people.

The whole premise is based in irreverence. We hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoy playing it!

lyrics

Come all Ye fair maidens, to the Place I roam
Come all Ye fair maidens, ah-ha-ha-hahh, to my home!
I got me a bunkhouse, oh, no no, it ain't no Charter House,
Sometimes i wake up and i find myself, ON THE FLOOR!

I got me a job, you know, it kinda sucks, getting up.
But you gotta get up sometimes and, go to work.
I got up one day, i made it all the way out to my driveway,
I got in my car, I didn't go very far (why do you think that was?)
(well, lemmie tell ya!)
-cause I got me a FUKKUS [fukkus!]
it makes a RUKUS [ruckus!]
I don't know what to do-o-o-ooh [fukkus!] when i'm in my Fukkus
picking up you [ruckus!]
it makes all kinds of noises, you know, it rattles and rolls
like a Rolls Royce-es {ruckus!]
but it ain't know Rolls Royce, oh, NO NO NO -- IT'S JUST A FUKKUS!

Stuck on the highway, in a traffic jam
I see all my Peoples, you know, it looks like they got some kind of a
goddam plan.
but now me, oh, no no no, I'm just sweating it away here,
in my Fukkus,
you know it makes a lot of noises, that ... GOD DAMM FUKKUS!
