Bongos and Crisco
“this song is a cover of a middle school drop outs song, who was covering judas priest, who stole it from black sabbath, who stole it from led zeppelin, who stole it from black people. but blacks would never have made the blues if we didn't make them so depressed so that means its our song.”
Bongos and Crisco is a North Carolina music trio under the genre of "Luck Rock". Luck rock is a form of improvisational rock where the crowd is lucky if the band plays something enjoyable, or can't play. The band formed in June 14th, 1997 when Waffles kidnapped Crisco and Bongos and 'force fed them truth with a turkey baster of liberty'. Since then, all of them have been avidly political.

No one knows the band member's real names, they all claim that 'Bongos, Crisco, and Waffles' are their real names. Only idiots believe that. Some believe they are demigods who were sent to earth to be dicks.

I wont' even bother to listen to this band. Do you want to know why? It's because I'd rather be pissing, I'd rather be pissing anywhere, on a train, out of a truck, in the backseat of a moving car, while riding a motorcycle. I guess I just fancy pissing while in a moving vehicle, it's much better in many ways.
Bongos and Crisco suck.
