King Kong 

“Bulldozers” by King Kong:

The groove is simple, but the stories aren't. King Kong's 1995 album, Me Hungry, did, after all, follow the epic saga of a caveman and his beloved yak at the cusp of the Ice Age, as played by a guy who's been doing this for some 15 years yet still always sounds like he's singing for the first time ever after kicking back a few too many.

And even though this year's Buncha Beans keeps the tales to single-chapter length, when the organ, guitar and drums lock together, dancing will undoubtedly follow. And then the realization hits that the song is about the existential nature of cockroaches.
