He had parodied limericks and poems of kind of all-American, obsessive, cult-of-personality ideas like Horatio Alger and ‘You’re #1, there’s nobody else like you’ kind of poems that were very funny and very clever. I thought, ‘I’d like to do one like Thomas Pynchon,’ so I wrote down ‘Whip It’ one night.” - Gerald Casale https://tinyurl.com/y389cjse\n\nWatch the official video (The band is wearing their red energy domes!) for \"Whip It\": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_QLzthSkfM\n\nhttps://clubdevo.com/", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
