Today is the final day of Spain's "State of Alarm". When this page began, the intention was always to stop when the Spanish lockdown did, and to have this album as the final post.
To be honest, I can see myself doing future posts if there's a 2nd wave (hope not) or when I'm personally having to quarantine (pretty likely, assuming I make it back to the UK from Spain). So, maybe this isn't THE last post, but it's the last post for now.
So, why have I had this record picked out for such a significant occasion since the get-go? Well, it's bloody brilliant!
Now, there are some people out there - sad, sad people - who think a band called My Dick producing parodies of famous songs from the '80s and' 90s whereby they change some of the lyrics to "My Dick" is not the genius that it so evidently is. You need to ignore those people.
Part of the charm (and it does help to be a little drunk to truly appreciate the charm that is definitely there, honest) is how some of the substitutions are clever, some are bizarre, and some (in the case of "Two Princes" parody "Two Dicks") are, well, repetitive. But they're all fun.
Take the "Baker Street" parody, where the saxophone introduction is replaced with a high-pitched repetition of "My Dick", or the outstanding bonus Enya parody where it's "My Dick" at the "Orinoco Flow", and instead of sailing away, we're sailing... well, you guessed it... These are songs that will no doubt improve the quality of your life.
And you're not getting some two-bit half-cocked (ahem) versions here - genuinely the production is great, and quite faithful to the original versions.
Are you likely to listen to the whole thing in one sitting? Probably not (although I'd be lying if I said I hadn't done so). But you don't need to, such is the sheer joy of dipping into My Dick from time to time. You need this in your world, so leave the haters behind, and get on My Dick.
Future house parties will never be the same again.

Whisper it, but there could well be a new My Dick album soon! 🙂
