I've been a fan of Andrew W.K. for a few years now, and one thing that's inspired me about him is his ability to boil life down to a few guitar solos, keyboard arpeggios, and party lyrics. So, I thought I'd put his divine insight to the test to answer some common, and not-so-common, questions that have plagued mankind since the dawn of human history.
Q: "Why is the sky blue?"
Awk: "Cos we're gonna have a FUN NIGHT! FUN NIGHT! FUN NIGHT! FUN NIGHT! Gonna get off! Gonna get off! Gonna get off! Gonna get off!"
[From "Fun Night" off of I Get Wet]
Q: "Where is the Adriatic Sea?"
Awk: "I can't explain it anymore / I'm not too young to know for sure. You get me, I get you, we get us."
[From "Really in Love" off of The Wolf]
Q: "Can you actually recharge non-rechargeable batteries or what?"
Awk: "You're not my mom and dad / And even they watch their backs; Cause they know what I hate; Any rules that I can't break."
[From "Your Rules" off of The Wolf]
Q: "How can I get from 19th & Q to the Target?"
Awk: "You won't know and we won't fucking go / We just keep on living. We always get what we want; We still get what we want 'cos we're never gonna stop (no we won't stop)."
[From "Fun Night" off of I Get Wet]Q: "My sister Tesla is dating a guy who is 15 years older than him. Is this weird or should I stop being so protective?"
Awk: "The girl's too young / She don't need any better. It's all coming back / I can feel it. She is beautiful / She is beautiful / She is beautiful / She is beautiful. The girl is beautiful."
[From "She is Beautiful" off of I Get Wet]
Q: "Is pepperoni or sausage better on pizza?"
Awk: "This is why we are alive / We all live like we are going to die. We are here, We are high / And this is why we love to live our lives"
[From "Victory Strikes Again" off of The Wolf]
Q: "Would the benefits of narcotics legalization outweigh the detriment?"
Awk: "I Get Wet when the party is dying. I Get Wet without even trying. I Get Wet I Get Wet I Get Wet I Get Wet I Get Wet I Get Wet I Get Wet I Get Wet / I Get Wet whenever you trying / I Get Wet when I know that you're dying / I Get Wet I Get Wet I Get Wet I Get Wet I Get Wet I Get Wet I Get Wet I Get Wet."
[From "I Get Wet" off of I Get Wet]
Q: "What's your problem, jackass?" Awk: "We do what we like and we like what we do. So let's get a party going (let's get a party going) / Now it's time to party and we'll party hard (party hard) / Let's get a party going (let's get a party going) / When it's time to party we will always party hard / Party hard (party hard, party hard, party hard party hard, party hard, party hard party hard, party hard, party hard...) ."

Dear Monitors,
watching A-WK kick major ass at the 9:30 Club a couple of years ago with you, Observer Dan K, and Nate G. was an AWESOME time...
however, i am still somewhat concerned that WK has serious mental health and/or intelligence issues, and that a rock and roll lifestyle is the exact OPPOSITE of what he needs in order to live a normal, happy life... wait a minute - what in the fuck am I talking about?? PARTY HARD, dudes!!!!
that evening was definitely fun, except for the part of the night after the show where everyone ditched me after I started talking to a couple of really cute Latina girls in Adam's Morgan; two dudes in some obscure, weird ass MD-based punk band wound up driving me back to your pad in Arlington, where I had originally parked my car...
talk about luck saving the day in a desperate moment, a cab ride from DC to NoVa would have cost a pretty penny.
