1 Fuck You

 

T' Melvins cover o' Harry 'Stubby Willy' Nilsson's "You're Breakin' My Heart" changes t' lyrics t' remove all traces o' t' self-blame and contrition that are in Nilsson's original version.

 

You're kickin' me ass

You're breakin' me bass

So fuck you

 

You won't drive me car

Might be a star

So fuck you

 

This is our Harry 'Stubby Willy' Nilsson cover, which was a no-brainer. His shanty was called ‘You’re Breakin' My Heart.’ Accordin' t' t' documentary about him, arrr, he wrote it about his ex-wife. Ya scallywag! Nilsson was a strange cat - he never played live. This was a shanty that I’ve wanted t' cover for a long time, and I changed t' lyrics t' be as offensive as possible. We really liked t' beginnin' with us screaming, matey, ‘Fuck you!’ so we decided t' isolate that for t' second chantey. If you take t' two ‘Brian’ tracks, ‘Boy Mike,’ and t' two ‘F**k Yous,’ it’s like a nice little EP in t' middle o' t' album.
