Jerk
I am into showbiz, I am a road manager
D'ya know a sexy chick? I got a pass for her
Touring can be boring, but not for me
You got to entertain yourself, I got a special hobby;
I fuck with the support band, I remember when
We had a shitty little group, called "Freak Kitchen"
I'm always in the mode for, let's say, any kind of dope
I asked the drummer if he wanted some, but he said "nope"
Well I couldn't believe what I just heard
The drummer of this group was this astonishing nerd
The singer and guitarist and the bass player as well
If I only had the guts I'd tell ém: go to hell!
Instead I turned around and asked a guy from the crew
To go and get a girl that we all can screw
You see, I am asshole and a real hypocrite
And my wife and kids don't know hippo-shit
I rather be a jerk, than being hip like you
I rather be a jerk, than do the shit you do
I rather be a jerk, than snort 'til I turn blue
I rather be a jerk, I rather be a jerk
An orgy a day keeps the Mrs. away
I'm a road manager in a giant ashtray
And when my conscience knocks on the door
I bury myself in horse as a cure
And a prostitute, then I shoot some more
I rather be a jerk, than being hip like you
I rather be a jerk, than do the shit you do
I rather be a jerk, than snort 'til I turn blue
I rather be a jerk, I rather be a jerk
One of the unusual things about IA is that although he can play in the oddest of time sigs, and pull off amazing solos, he can still write riffs that are so catchy that you could fish for herring with them (without even using a trawler...). And there's always humour in everything!
You can't be serious... I have never seen a band have an official "Tuning" page for EVERY SONG IN THEIR CATALOG on their website........... That is awesome.
Jerk, Dead Soul Man and Heroin Breakfast should be on FK setlists more frequently.
Yes!
Spanking Hour...one of my favorite albums...ever
I could almost dance to this muhaha
favourite song from favourite freak kitchen album.
Another pearl from the Guru!!! I've listened to this song hundreds of times...a blast from the past!
Almost 20 years ago, high school, it was a break between classes, my friend came to my clasroom giving me Spanking Hour CD saying "Dude, you have to listen to this shit, it's amazing"... And I was hooked, just like that...
I've accidentally listened to the song at 1.25x speed, it was rad! Happy Friday!
Dear Mattias. I could not take my eyes from your wobbling under arm during your tapping rabbadaj from 2:54 and forwards. I use to listen with phones but today I listened without them. I had to go back for two or three times just to watch the wobble until my brain started to wobble with it. Suddenly my wife entered the room cause of the tapping madness that pierced thru walls of the house and asked wth I was listening to. I sat quietly and just nodded at the screen while you were wobbling away. She looked at the screen for a moment until she uttered:
- Ah! So he named the song after the muscle movement?
Heroin breakfast or hateful little people next please!!
Yeeeeees!!! This is how a good day starts :) oh maaan the nostalgia, i remember that i found out about freak kitchen because of a laney. I found speak when spoken to, then nobodies laughing and the jerk. When i hear it i can basically see the video because i watched it soooo often ...good times :)
I think this was the first Freak Kitchen song I heard like 15 years ago, still probably my favourite tune from you guys. I love me a big sing-songy chorus!
oh and the Drum Fill at 3:53 is fkkin wicked ! \m/
Thankssss! Now we have a solo!🤩
Well, it was merely played because it was more composed beforehand. :)
Awesome! This song rules!!!!! Could you do "Taste My Fist", pleeeeeeease? Love your work for decades now, Mr. Eklundh! Keep Freaky!!!!! Cheers from Brazil.
This is the song that confirmed Freak Kitchen as one of my favorite bands nearly twenty years ago.
Damn ! How Comfortable his playing is ! It's a wonderful thing to see classics being live and playthrough
Yeah yeah. The song and playing is fantastic. But look at the room!! So much to notice :)
Only Freak Kitchen songs can make this brazilian rainy friday better! You're awesome, Mattias!
most clean chord changes. love this song.
Think this one might be popular. It was Linus' (Mr Gul) playthrough that taught me C#sus4 and did I feel like an alternate tuning god for a week, lmao! I've gotten much dumber since then (knowing how little I know and the like) but this remains a favourite! Thanks as always.
Glad to hear that my playthrough video actually helped someone. Thank you! :)
trying to find a tab for this song got me scouring all the depths of the internet, I need to play it!!
You so want to sing along, don't you ? ;p
These tapping parts are awesome. I have to try ! that will take years but it doesn't matter :D
And I can't even play and sing happy birthday song!! You're awesome
Thank you for playing the solo!!!!!!!!!! :D
Great song from a great album
You made my day Mattias you beautiful guy
This is the song that got me started on FK. When I heard this, I was hooked immediately.
Awesome stuff.
Love the rock angry faces during your playthroughs....I need the humor....these days with this super hyped up covid fear conjuring....BTW....love the new ( to me ) Troll...and yes the rest of the Album....Well Done guy's
Vi delade replokal i Partille 94-96,så denna låt har man hört ett antal gånger!
En utav mina favorit FK-låtar!
Thankyou IA for writing this song. It helps me laugh about when I was a jerk a decade ago. I could've ended up turning blue myself, I get to sing this song to my past self and be happy.
Oh and if you haven’t been told, your vocals are very underrated.
Agreed!
Oh, thank you!
Oh, thank you too! :)
oooo bringing out some classics I LOVE IT!!!!
can you do a playthrough of See you in Pittsburgh (1st song i ever heard & still a fav of mine)
I love this tune. I mean... I love all your tunes. :P
I love this so much, we used to make a cover of this song with one of my firsts bands, it's awesome to see 7 years later how to really play it hahah, that tapping section + the next riff that were removed for the official video was my favourite section to play ♥
Mattias took the time to sign my copy of Spanking Hour when I caught him setting up with the band at a show in Manchester, UK about 10 years ago. Top bloke and an incredible musician!
a love you and this song ....since 1996
Like a glove! :) I heard this song about ten years ago and of course it's still very muhaha. ;)
Such a great pop song with a little extra guitarwizardry seasoning on top. 👌🏼
this is a very fun tune! mattias you are the D# on my A lydian dominant chord xox
What a single! My daughter is always asking for this one! Props IA!
Mattias, PLEASE keep these videos coming! Not only do we get to hear the classics, but we also get to watch you having a good time playing them! Love it! 🙏🏻
Nice memories from this song. My favorite guitarist ever! You're an inspiration IA!
Again one of my favorite Freak Kitchen songs (and again, i love this guitar !)
Now you do the solo part !! Rhhaaaaaa Lovely !
Like many others have said, this was my introduction to FK and IA, but a little while after it came out. The 12/8 tapping section always blew me away as just being so cool outlining the chords like that! I guess it's 12/8? Or maybe a 3:4 polyrhythm? Either way, happy to see this. I asked you to show me this section at the 2013 FGK :D
It's 4/4 throughout the entire song, but the tapping section has a triplet feel to it. The tapping rhythm is in 8th note triplets, but there's also a pull-off after each tapped note which makes it 6-tuplets. Definitely a cool way to mess with the feel of the pulse!
I think that "Kobo, choose a brush" (meaning that a master is not influenced by tools) is exactly this person.
Best album title ever!
Thanks for this Mattias! Are you going to do a playthrough of Speak When Spoken To as well? This was the song that a friend had me listen to and got me into Freak Kitchen, I'd say 17-ish years ago. Always such a blast.
Discovering this band had been one of the best things that happened to me in this life.
Every record sounds special to me, and I'm in love with the guitar, drums, vocals and bass works in there.
Thanks IA
I love all of your beautiful spirals with melodies like these days. I hope you will remember these days again and create new beautiful music.✨☺️✨
この曲好きや〜
今でもプレイリストに入れてます
enormous mattias !!! like all the time !!!
You make me smile IA. You are indeed one of a kind...☺
At school, we studied Blind. Cool song!!!👍👍👍
Awesum ! As always brother ♥️
I'm 54 but feel like I'm 20 something when this is blasting.
fkkin awesome. great tune. sounds so good!
These playthroughs are an absolute treat, Spanking Hour was my first Freak Kitchen CD and still one of my favorites. If only we could get some Freak bass videos, Burning Bridges is a monster of a track and very underrated
Great stuff ! Really nice tone happening .
Such a fun song, always loved this one!
Wow! Last 2 days I listen just Mattias's songs. It's unbeliveble good.
The lead tone sounds different than usual. Smooth ! 🤘🏻
I lov the chorus!
I’m a simple guy, I listen to this song and I smile.
Stellar performance!
What a riff!!!
An all time classic! Jerks on!
Love the Frank pic on the wall. ..oh yeah the tune , your tone and playing are all wonderful. Peace ☮️
Excellent🤘 I really enjoy watching you Jam, tastey riffs and licks! Oh man are we spoiled with this technology today. Thank you Mattias 👍
I love this song!!!
this is amazing
I watched this at 666 views, the most metal number 🤟. Love the video as always ❤
Just perfect!
I remember listening to all of your stuff back in high school (Over 15 years ago) and absolutely loving how tight your playing was in every facet, creativity, lead playing, tone, just perfect. much love Mattias, highly underrated brother 🙏
Fantastic.👽👍👽👍👽👍
awesome video right here but the original music video where Mattias is sitting on a bean bag with a green suit and playing legato licks is still hilarious to me, those facial expressions are just stuck in my mind.
