Hey look it’s a new Let’s Wrestle single! And it’s also a theme song!
Even better…it’s a double A-side.
The main A-side is the official recording of “Let’s Wrestle” which has been floating around in demo form pretty much since people started talking about the band. It’s maybe the highest fidelity thing the band has ever done, complete with piano but it is in no ways, you know, slick. And the raccous vibe remains.
MP3: Let’s Wrestle – Let’s Wrestle
But the vibe remains a raucous rave-up. Sing along, won’t you? Here are the lyrics, straight from the band’s MySpace:
LETS WRESTLE LETS FUCKING WRESTLE
GET YER CRACK PIPE OUT BABY AND LETS START A FIGHT
LETS WRESTLE LETS FUCKING WRESTLE
GET YOUR HIGH HEELS ON AND LETS DANCE ALL NIGHT
HULK HOGAN MICK MCMANUS
PRO WRESTLING IS THE WAY FORWARD
THEY WILL BITE OFF YOUR MOUTH FINGERS AND NOSE
AND THEN THE CROWD GOES
LETS WRESTLE LETS FUCKING WRESTLE
GET YER T-SHIRT OFF AND GET IN THE MUD
LETS WRESTLE LETS FUCKING WRESTLE
GET ON YER KNEES AND PRAY FOR MERCY
GIANT HAYSTACKS JAMAICA GEORGE
BRITISH WRESTLING IS THE WAY FORWARD
THEY WILL BITE OFF YOUR MOUTH FINGERS AND NOSE
AND THEN THE CROWD GOES
LETS WRESTLE LETS FUCKING WRESTLE AAAAAAOOOOOOOO
One can only imagine it goes over well at live shows. Maybe Let’s Wrestle will make it to America soon.
I like the other A-side, “I’m in Fighting Mode,” even better. It’s a more typical Wesley Patrick Gonzalez creation — girl trouble — though more serious than what we’re used to. Lyrically it’s actually kind of hopeful (I think) in that “you’re going to be mine whether you know it yet or not” kind of way, but the music seems to tell a different story.
They made a video to this one:
