Eastbound & Dubstep: A Roundup of Kenny Powers Dropping the Bass
Since talking about last night’s episode of Eastbound & Down would be impossible without inventing an entirely new language, your palate cleanser from all the Oscar coverage is not a recap. It’s a Kenny Powers dubstep K-hole. Let’s motherfuckin’ go!
“Kenny Powers” – Control/Kthulhu
This wobbly track from Control/Kthulhu is called “Kenny Powers,” samples the man himself, and is perfect for recutting Season 1’s MDMA-fueled school dance sequence.
“Kenny Powers” – Control/Kthulhu (SaladUK version)
Same song and dance sequence, cut differently to be all twitchy. Made by account SaladUK, the self-described “Pioneer in Visualizing Dubstep.”
“Kenny Powers Ecstasy Dance – Eastbound and Down – DUBSTEP REMIX”
The dance set to a different dubstep song. If you’re already burned out from watching the same dance sequence, you may not be ready for the full power and majesty of repetitive beats.
“Pagne” – Loki Beats
This one makes a genuinely good alternate soundtrack. Smooth as hell.
“Fine Ladies (Bunraku Edit)” – Alex Greggs
I looked up Alex Greggs and found out he produced and co-wrote songs on two ‘N Sync albums (the good ones) and has worked with Lady Gaga, but is also Mad Decent-affiliated. Fuckin’ remix.
“La Flama Blanca” – K Rok
Squinky!
La Flama Blanca at the Airport
This idiot getting his eagle on in cargo shorts at the airport more or less sums it up (everything).
“Throw That Bitch a Bagel” – Deuce Deuce
Bitches love bagels. Everybody loves bagels. Included this because there is a line about KP, and because it’s an Indiana keg party college rap video about bagels that will now be stuck in my head forever.
Mylo the Cat’s Reaction to Season 3 of Eastbound & Down
I mean, right?
Singing Kenny Powers Tattoo
Self-explanatory. Fittingly, he is lip-synching to Fatman Scoop.
Bat Fight – Will Ferrell
Shot in-character on set when Ferrell did his first-season stint as Ashley Schaeffer, whom we now know to be a sociopath of the highest order. I like comedy songs that function equally well as real songs, and vice versa. It’s a game of honor and diplomacy.
