Finally, the boys from NYC outfit Cheeseburger put this song up on iTunes. It's the opening jingle to their singer Christy Caracas' animated cartoon on Adult Swim called Superjail!. I coveted it and now I finally have it. 99 cent bliss.
If you haven't seen the show it's pretty insane and very gorey, though not in a stomach evacuation kinda way. Think over-the-top ha-ha kind of gorey. It's about a prison sometime in the future run by an ego-maniacal warden, modeled on Willy Wonka no doubt, whose voice is none other than that of David Wain, his trans-gender she-male guardian, and a Doc Oc-like Robot that resembles an angry iPod. The show is wall-to-wall pop-culture winks, which are as clever as those found on shows like 30 Rock or Stella. If you haven't watched thousands of hours of TV and movies as a kid you probably will not 'get' half the material.
Cheeseburger's schtick is basically 70s hard rock with a Ween-like patina, tottering the line between satire and homage. Songs like this make my days somewhat tolerable for about 10 minutes
