Total parody band. Stay classy, Fort Worth.

I like it. They've got sort of a classic Zep' sound.

Armsmasher: I'm sorry, is this the Complete hotline?
Woman: They're supposed to turn this number. I'm just an old woman. I don't have no band or nothin. [click]

It really captures the spirit of Fort Worth, as Albéniz does that of Spain.

Detective 'Smasher, on the case. Will he solve the mystery of the Pernicious Parody Prats from Paris, Texas? And what does that have to do with a rodent? Tune in next week and find out.

So how long can you people listen to something ironically? I managed to listen to that whole 4:51' song and enjoy how bad it was, but it helped that there was ironic prompting from the Comments board. On the other hand, I simply couldn't get through the whole "Its just like a mini-mall" video, even though i now periodically start rapping to myself "its just like, its just like, its just like, a mini mall" as I walk down the street.

12: what? What exactly couldn't you get through? I watched that video multiple times. In a row. Hell, I may just watch it again right now.

12a:Forever? Or can't tell anymore.

God, I am proud to be a Texan tonight. Those guys could have come from central casting, you just can't fake that accent and wardrobe. I look & sound exactly like them, only a foot shorter.

That was really something. I'd never have dreamed such music was possible.

Best line in the song: "Hoogie-Boogie laaaaaaand.... where life is always blaaaaaaaand..."

while I realize this is a parody band, whether intentionally or not, I am reminded again that what artists have to say about their own work rarely helps their cause.

You guys, it's really not a parody band. Those are definitely Texans.

Anyone have opinions on whether this is a parody band? Be sure to keep watching for the feedback solo near the end.

Complete should totally tour with the Legendary Stardust Cowboy.

if they'd just project some surgery videos on the wall in back of them, they could be the next Butthole Surfers.

Maybe they are the Butthole Surfers.

The more I listen to them the more I realize. The band I was in during the 90s was just as bad. We weren't oblivious to our own suckitude. We just made it a point not to care.
