music by Andrew WK/lyrics by John McLaughlin

And if you think I’m gonna illustrate this post with a picture of John McLaughlin you’re not even paying attention. Face it, by all objective criteria, and when he’s not making faces, Andrew WK is dreamy. He is also completely daft and usually making faces. Musical update, he has now gone from producing noise bands to ‘collaborating’ with John McLaughlin — yes, that John McLaughlin.

Just for the heck of it, PRI’s Fair Game with Faith Salie commissioned the 47-second theme, The McLaughlin Groove, a tune written by Andrew around a recent exchange between Mr. McLaughlin and Pat Buchanan. (Andrew gets more airtime on NPR than he ever did on all other radio networks combined — why is that?) And you know what… this song rocks.
