Most ridiculous song ever written?

1:10 into it before the music even starts. NOT a good promotional video technique, IMO. Why not edit it for YouTube? Thumb down there.

After that it sounds like a helicopter having sex with a blender. IMHO, the music could be decent but the recording is aweful. Thumb down there too.

The band name? Whatever...Is it supposed to be cool to disrespect the name of Jesus? Two thumbs down for lack of originality

Overall: I give this four thumb [slaps] down.

I'm actually a longtime Max Webster fan. While this song was certainly experimental, I don't think that you are painting them in a very flattering light.

I think they were a very talented group of musicians playing their own brand of '70s prog rock.

Although Kim sang almost everything, all the lyrical work was done by a man named Pye Dubois. Maybe you heard of him, he wrote the lyrics to Tom Sawyer.

I agree. I started listening to Max Webster back when they toured with Rush. Max Webster's Univeral Juveniles is an excellent album and has been one of my favorites for many years. It includes the song Battlescar which was a Max Webster/Rush collaboration.
 
There's a ton of gore bands like Vomit Erection, each with their own ridiculous band name. Even though AxCx are just trolls, they've stood out in the ridiculous department to me.

Wasn't there once a legitimate band (however you define that) named 'Pig Vomit'? How could anyone expect a serious listen for a band named that? Even if freaking Beethoven were in it?
