Other music to scratch the King Gizzard itch

Lol. Here’s the full NSFW post…

"TIFU by Scatmanning a girl I was dating

So quite recently I’ve been listening to the song “Scatman”, which for the uninitiated is a dope song of a dude scatting which kinda goes like “scatdobiddlybiddlygiddlydiddlybiddlydiddly…” and then he says “I’m the Scatman!”.

So I couldn’t get this song out of my head for the past couple days and I was always queuing it up on Spotify.

Long story short a girl I’ve been dating came over last night and my brain didn’t override my stupidity when I decided to add Scatman to my sexytime playlist.

When she came over it was pretty much ‘prepare for battlestations’ from the first minute, so I put the sexytime playlist on shuffle. It started off well with some song from the Mezzanine album, and then one I can’t remember and then a jazzy one. By this point I was just beginning to go down on her.

This is where I fucked up. The Scatman song came up next after the relaxing jazz and it was so fucking jarring.

I guess a normal person would’ve stopped and skipped the song. I really regret not doing that now.

Instead of that, without skipping a fucking beat, I started to use my tongue and went down on her at the same exact pace as the dude in the song was scatting. It was so fast that I had to concentrate hard to get the timing right. I know it probably was bad technique, but I started and I had to commit.
It was probably 9 seconds of doing that before I stopped and came up. I looked into her eyes and perfectly in time with the song I said “I’m the Scatman”.

I don’t know what expression I expected to see on her, my brain clearly short circuited for me to do that in the first place. What I didn’t expect was the look of pure disgust.

That moment went in pure slow motion for me. My brain pretty much exploded and was like “ah fuck I can’t believe I’ve done this”

I saw no means of recovery so I got up and paused the song. And she said “can we just hang for a bit instead” and I agreed. We ended up watching an episode of Friends, both of us refusing to acknowledge what just happened. Then she said she had to go back to her place.

We’ve only been dating for 3 weeks and I’m pretty sure I might’ve totally fucked this up. At least I have a funny story out of it, though I’d much prefer having a girlfriend.

Tldr: Went down on a girl to the Scatman song and now she might turn into a ghost.

UPDATE: Since people have been asking. Nothings really has happened after I texted her “how’s it goin” the next day. Sorry to not have a juicy follow up story. Hopefully we don’t get into the same classes next semester at uni.

If we somehow get back together, I’ll make sure not to remove Scatman from my playlist.

I’m somewhat disturbed by the comments that theorised that she thought I was sexually attracted to fecal matter. I’ll try not to believe it, but looking back on her reaction it does make a lot of sense."

Oh @Listening_Wind , I thought you were talking about this one…

TIFU / My (20F) girlfriend of two years told me the music that I (25M) play during sex is weird and a major turn off

A little back story; when I first started having sex I researched into ways to be better as I was a little stiff and pretty much had no idea what I was doing. I read online that you can play music and match the rhythm in order to put on a better performance.

I searched love making songs and started slowly creating a playlist in which I was comfortable matching the rhythm.

There are a few songs to my playlist. However there is one song in particular, which actually happens to be my favourite, that my girlfriend hates and says turns her off in a major way.

I don’t understand why it has taken her two years to tell me she hates that song, it’s a good love making song with good rhythm. I feel the way I fucked up is I could have possibly asked her previously if she likes the playlist or any songs she’d like to add/change. But to leave it for two years thinking our sex life is great but in her eyes has just been ruined by my music has left the whole situation feeling awkward and I’m a bit annoyed.

I pretty much played this tune every single time so the amount of times she must have not been enjoying it, when I thought the complete opposite is annoying but also embarrassing in ways.

Not to mention my previous partners, however they never complained about the song so maybe it’s just her?

It’s fucked up the relationship tbh because sex feels awkward now. The other day we were having sex with no music but I was still thrusting to the tune playing in my head. She recognised this and asked me to stop.

I thought this song was perfect and I always thrust along with the tune and feel it gives me the perfect rhythm for doing the deed to.

I usually bust to this song and find it devastating she hates the song.

the song itself

TL;DR She hates my love making tunes and didn’t tell me for over two years making sex now awkward.

This Kinks cover is fresh and very reminiscent of early King Gizz:

Their whole sound is pretty dedicated to that Aussie Punk scene that King Gizz came out of actually.

These guys got a pretty cool sound…

Gonna drop this in here based on unusual instrumentation, the music isn’t really particularly similar to Gizz but it’s so beautiful & needs to be shared.

Also here’s a highlight from a set of Dead covers they did a few years back:

I should have gone to this show. Work kept me home, but at least we can enjoy the recording. I’ve gotta see these guys.

This new video about Flaming Lips has 2 King Gizz references. Its a great overview of Flaming Lips, but only complaint is not enough about some classic 80s/90s Lips albums…kind of zips through that period to get to Zaireeka.

Ooo good find. Heavy Khruangbin vibes even down to wearing something on their heads to distinguish themselves. I’ll follow them. Looks like they’re at the beginning of what should be a rise to bigger audiences.

this whole album is LIT

Oh man, this reminds me of a post I saw about a guy using this as his go to “intimate song”. His partner did not appreciate it :laughing:

Oh I love yin yin!!!
This song fucksss

They just released a new single this week too:

The second album didn’t hit quite as hard for me, but this new song certainly seems to be back in the vein of The Rabbit That Hunts Tigers, next album in January.

That’s dope. Love the I Feel Love sample.

Moses Gunn Collective are another Australian psych band not that well-known considering how good they are:

They hang out with King Gizzard guys sometimes too.

Fuck it, if you like early the early Bluesy garage stuff you’ll probably like Captain Beefheart & his Magic Band:

It’s mostly more chill than early King Gizz, but I’m relistening to this for the first time in a while and thinking it’s wrong I’ve never seen the two bands connected to each other.

Just saw Russian Circles are doing an AUS/NZ tour next year; they’re worth catching if anyone has the chance.
