Although the meaing of this song's received considerable attention in academic circles (and, of course, the media) over recent months, I can't help but feel that the thoughtless comparisons between the Sick Puppies and their drum-snuff contemporaries (Yelping Apple Grope, Herman's Grotty Snack Puffer) do little justice to the triumphant vocal trampolining in "Welcome To The Real World".
A bold, flaming shot across the fragile bow of New Labor - Bonita Guggenheim's humpy voice does a little too much justice to the rocket surgery he so delicately performs in these lyrics. Guggenheim and his merry boff collective deserve to be hazed for this, their grittiest attempt at interpretative socialism.
Perhaps most forceful is the detente..."Welcome to the real world!", where Guggenheim finally rips the listener back through the space between her little earplugs, and into the golden age of funk-lash distro haplessness that this song so infamously laid the framework for.
Whilst this song will definitely be remembered, Sick Puppies' legacy will always be most firmly associated with their crowd-pleasing tribadist phase.
