Captain Chemical
Music In Review
Captain Chemical is the band that gets created by Weird Al Yankovic if he was an original songwriting musical artist. Their ability to generate humorous songs and song stories across multiple genres, typically with a rock or punk edge in delivery, is unmatched today. Their productions are tight and their performances are well-calculated within their niche. Check out their YouTube channel for videos supporting their unique twists in the musical lexicon.
Check out these songs from Captain Chemical's collection:
Barbie's Having A Bad Day is a parody story song in the surfer pop rock reminiscent style of The Beach Boys. Poor Barbie has discovered news that is so shocking, she may have to take up drinking. The lyrics are powerfully humorous and the song is performed to the delight of the chosen genre being honored.
Rabid Chihuahuas On Dope is a dystopian twist on the angry chihuahua trope. And apparently, they feed off of similar vibes as the white punks as told by The Tubes. There is a great guitar solo in this song.
Captain's Alien Abduction is a heavy rock 80's style that should come with a mild language warning, but it is still well in line with their sense of humor and direct societal reflections. The theme is more or less sex, drugs, and rock n' roll, but with beings of green stature.
Wall-Mart Shopping Experience outlines many of the experiences one may expect at the known store with one less "L" in its name according to the internet and folklore accompanying it. It's a hilarious account of a subsection of today's society.
Influencer pokes fun at today's hot trend of people just being famous for being famous as a people. Using humorous insight, it challenges the paradigm of what it means to be a celebrity in today's bass-ackwards soup of media outlets.
Please check out Captain Chemical yourself and add them to your listening pleasures.
