Day two of GraffitiGate continues as my horrendous obsession with MS Paint bleeds over into Pavement's Wowee Zowee cover. Though, for the record, all my masterpieces are created sans Photoshop, but I will admit that the "airbrush" tool usage is spilling over into "Egregious" Territory. Just some background info, Pavement's Wowee Zowee is not "Wowie Zowie"-inspired, but I couldn't pass up the Pavement opportunity. OK, on with it.[1966]
The tricks to the song -- the way it rattles chimes shimmers snaps with weird 4-D vocals and weird 5-D lyrics -- transverse whatever I am. This isn't the 60s trip, it's one-piece bathing suit (for males esp) diving headfirst hands above head pressed together into the rainbow spiral of cell matter at which the shrink ray's pointed. It swirls around, and the kids are making the doowop voices highhighhigh and lowlowlow. Stick it on the psychedelic tunes comp for children who sing and dance nonsensically with their Casios. They'll be better for it. They'll grow into it. Here's how it goes:
3-D (including the first two dimensions) bring the figure to life, lengthXwidthXheight
4-D channels through time as the spectrum is the mallet dragged up and down across the xylophone (well, at least I think it's a xylophone)
5-D words it only the way non sequitur can in color
Anyway let's cover the basics just to make sure the point's getting across: teen-age (I told you they'd grow into it) love song disregarding everything (hygiene and well, mostly hygiene I guess; leg-shaving, teeth-brushing) (OK also the age-old teen-age rebellious streak against THE HEAT POPO WHAT HAVE YOU) for said teen-age love. Cap it off one more time!
