Food! Food! Eat to stay alive! Eat it to survive! Eat at least three meals a day! If you don't, you'll fade away. Fruit and vegetables and meat--food is stuff that's good to eat. Eat the food! Eat more food!

My mom told me to clean up my room. "In 5 minutes I will get back to you." She said it would take longer to clean it the way that she wants me to. So what?

Fat Nazi Loser (Narrow Views Cover) 01:02
lyrics
buy track
He's a supremacist, thinks his race is the best. He's got a swastika tattooed on his fat ugly chest. He types upon his keyboard making ignorance sound right. He thinks that he's entitled just because his skin is white. Fat Nazi loser! "Defender of the Reich" Fat Nazi loser! Too scared to stand and fight! Fat Nazi loser! Can't stand on his own! Fat Nazi loser! Too scared to leave his home. He speaks the fourteen words, but doesn't have a wife. He hasn't had a job or worked a day in his whole life. No pride in his country--says he hates Jews and blacks. No pride in his heritage, and no use for the facts. Fat Nazi loser! "Defender of the Reich" Fat Nazi loser! Too scared to stand and fight! Fat Nazi loser! Can't stand on his own! Fat Nazi loser! Too scared to leave his home.

about

Three beautiful songs rescued from the Pegasus Cankles vault.

Perception: The first song was written by Nick House and Nate House sometime around 2017-2018. The second song is a cover of a band that Nick knew when he was in college. He briefly played in a cover band with the singer of Sardines. The third song is a cover of a cringy pro-Trump Oi! band who got kicked off of Bandcamp--nevertheless, even a broken clock is right twice a day, and thus Narrow Views' gave us the classic that is "Fat Nazi Loser."

Reality: By 2001, Scotty Ktulu knew he had to revitalize Pegasus Cankles or die trying. With all the previous band-members now either members of Anti-Cop or roadies for Anti-Cop, Scotty went into his home studio with every intention of recording every part on the album himself, much like Dave Grohl did for the first Foo Fighters album. He quickly realized, however, that he could not play any instrument other than the bass, and that not well. Thus, much like Dave Grohl, he took advantage of the implosion of a semi-popular emo band to fill the ranks of his outfit.

The local emotional hardcore band I Know Why The Nicolas Caged Bird Sings had recently broken up, with singer Steve Westington going on to a successful solo career with his project the Timid Young Virgins (famous for such albums as Extended Virgins, Edited Virgins, and We'll Never Stop Being Virgins). Members of the band disagree on why the breakup happen. The bandmembers claim that Steve was unimpressed with the more hard-edged, nu-metal direction the band was taking (the band took on a DJ, who simply put a copy of The Clash's Cut the Crap and let it play for the entirety of the show), Steve, on the other hand, claims it was because "these guys suck at their instruments, especially the drummer."

Nevertheless, whatever the specifics of the band's history, the fact remains that this released reached new highs for Pegasus Cankles in terms of distribution. The 45 record became a much-sought-after collector's item--Scotty's uncle Joe used it as a coaster for years, while his cousin Braden found that it made an excellent replacement for a frisbee in a pinch. A demand for burned CDs from Scotty's younger sister and her technology-challenged friends introduced a generation of third-graders to the unprecedented Backstreet Boys/Pegasus Cankles split 7", though of course since it was on a CD it wasn't really a 7". Even more groundbreaking than this was Scotty's pioneering work in online distribution, as he uploaded many of the Pegasus Cankles songs to LimeWire under the title "all the small things-sum 41."
