Music Monday: Comedy Bang! Bang! – Walking to Work

51nMR9aG75L._SX500_My latest obsession is the IFC show Comedy Bang! Bang! hosted by Scott Aukerman and his co-host/bandleader Reggie Watts. The show was originally a podcast called Comedy Death-Ray Radio until the title was changed. Then later, they got the IFC deal and junk and now it’s a show, so just trust me on that.

So this non-podcast version of the show is currently in its second season, airing on Friday nights on IFC. It’s a mock-late night TV show, with Scott asking the questions and Reggie creating the tunes. Each episode features a well-known celebrity (Adam Scott, Seth Rogan, Michael Cera, etc.), but that doesn’t stop others from popping in and out, too (Bob Odenkirk, Casey Wilson, David Cross, etc.).

It is the most absurd thing you will ever see.

Ok, well maybe not the most absurd thing you will ever see, but it’s pretty high up there! With all of its out-in-left-field humor and farcical situations, I’d honestly compare it to Pee-wee’s Playhouse over anything else.

So, Music Monday – right!

Here is a little ditty that was featured in the Seth Rogan episode. It’s called “Walking to Work” and it’s about how Aukerman likes walking to work with his best friend Reggie. Soon, the “best friends” forget to do something kind of important and well…just enjoy the song.

There you have it, folks. The deadpan humor on this thang is dry, weird and inspirational. Hopefully you’ll give the show a chance. Season 1 can be found on Netflix. And if you’re already watching – Attaboy!
