I mean, that must be why, right? Not that the Moldy Peaches were the most punk-rock band in the world, but they were relatively subversive with their inappropriate and amusing bathroom humor and songs about crack and whatnot, right?
They appeared on “The View,” and then mocked it with typical too-cool-for-school irreverance, played off every commercial post-“Juno” experience as a chore, but how are they supposed to explain this ad for Atlantis Resorts that uses the pregnant-teen comedy track, “Everyone But You,” with grossly tweaked lyrics to reflect the sunny, fun time you’re going to have laying out in the sun and drinking margs until your lobster red?
Rolling Stone, who has the exclusive on the video it seems, says the band rewrote the song for Bahama-themes resort, but clearly it’s not the Peaches themselves singing the track. Sample lyrics: “Let’s go ride a couple of dolphins/Or maybe play tennis/Or do some golfing,” it’s shameless as all get out, but maybe they just gave the company the rights to fuck with the song?
Not that it’s that much more noble, but if Kimya and Adam weren’t fucking high as balls on PCP when they tweaked this song then one of or both of them has a serious cocaine problem that has pushed them far back into the red. There can’t be any other logical explanation, the track is just abysmal in this new form. Man, if this track annoyed you before, prepare to stick soldering irons into your ears about 10-seconds in.
