Ok, so we all love pizza right? When I think of pizza and Macaulay Culkin, I don’t exactly think of music. I think of one of my favorite scenes from Home Alone where he orders the pizza and plays the movie “Angels With Filthy Faces” which is a play upon the James Cagney movie from 1938 “Angels with Dirty Faces”.
Well, with that in mind, Macaulay Culkin has created a pizza themed Velvet Underground Tribute band titled, “The Pizza Underground” where all the songs have the lyrics updated with pizza theme references. How about the take on These Days updated and replaced with Cheese Days or I’m Waiting for Delivery Man instead of Velvet Undeground’s original, Waiting for the Man.
All the songs on their demo were recorded at Macaulay Culkin’s house on November 11, 2013 and is available for download on their band bandcamp page here. The complete list of songs are:
- I’m Beginning to Eat the Slice
- Pizza
- I’m Waiting for Delivery Man
- Cheese Days
- Pizza Day
- All the Pizza Parties
- Pizza Gal
- Take a Bite of the Wild Slice
The Pizza Underground is Matt Colbourn on guitar/vocals, Phoebe Kreutz on glockenspiel/vocals, Deenah Vollmer on pizza box/vocals, Austin Kilham on tambourine/vocals and Macaulay Culkin: percussion/kazoo/vocals. They recently played a gig at an open mic night in New York City. So take a listen and check them out for yourself:
So make sure to visit their social media sites and get in the pizza mood. Download their music and make sure to play it the next time you are ready to order your pizza. Dammit, I was just listening and I think I might have to place an order and Take a Bite of the Wild Slice!!! How about some more from The Pizza Underground.
