I still remember the look on my dad’s face after he learned I had gave the music teacher the middle finger.

    One weekend when I was in high school, back when burning CDs was popular, I had a little extra space so I downloaded “Enter Sandman” and threw it as the last track on the CD. My dad asked me to go run an errand on Sunday so naturally I got my new CD and put it in his car’s CD player, listening to the first half of it before I returned.

    That Monday, he gets home from work and he storms into my room absolutely furious and with no other context yells “SUCK A CAMEL’S ASS, HUH? REAL NICE!” before slamming the door. I have no idea what he is talking about but I wasn’t about to question my angry father and just stood there in shock. A couple weeks later I add that “Enter Sandman” file to a playlist and only to find it is actually the song “Suck a Caribou’s Ass” by Wesley Willis at a horrendous bitrate so it is super loud. I went to tell him it was an accident, but trying to explain to your dad what Kazaa was and how prevalent mislabeled songs were on there worked as well as explaining Islam to your pet hamster. He was adamant I did it on purpose.

    To this day if I bring it up he still gets super annoyed and refuses to believe me.

      Everyone hears that and hears camel and not caribou. It’s so weird to me, I like to throw it on gor unsuspecting people. Wesley Willis was great I’m so glad my parents were cool, I got my Stepdad to listen to The Great Milenko song on his own time while driving. He loves when they dip their nuts in your soup.
