Cannot Keep Pretty Hands Off

| Live from New York, it's Get Off My Lawn with Kevin McKinnon. | |
| Keep your pretty hands off me. | |
| You cannot keep your pretty hands off me. | |
| You cannot keep your pretty hands off me No, I won't sit and ask me to be quiet No, I won't sit and ask me to be quiet No, I won't sit and ask me to be quiet | |
| No, I won't sit and ask me to be quiet No, I won't sit and ask me to be quiet Wait, let's hear more of that. | |
| You cannot keep your pretty hands off me. | |
| You cannot keep your pretty hands off me. | |
| I thought you were the one, but I was wrong. | |
| I was wrong. | |
| I thought great jam. | |
| That is the trucks. | |
| The crux of the trucks is that they were formed sort of haphazardly. | |
| There's a woman's music festival, and they didn't have enough woman bands, so they said, let's get you, you, you, and you up around Portland. | |
| The Pacific Northwest wasn't too woke back then. | |
| This was still early odds, relatively early odds. | |
| And it was in an interesting time in New York, and the trucks came to New York a few times, where ElectroClash was big. | |
| I'm going to do a green screen of forgotten music scenes from the Sharpies in Australia to Electro Clash. | |
| I've got a bunch more I can't remember right now. | |
| But it was a really cool music scene. | |
| Fisher-Spooner were the sort of rolling stones of that scene, which was Warren Fisher and Casey Spooner. | |
| Casey Spooner was this elaborate homo who was really cool and funny and weird and very creative. | |
| And then there was Warren Fisher, who was a musical genius. | |
| And he would just take these, I don't know what you call it, 8-bit sounds that you just heard there, those little machines, the 808s. | |
| And then Casey Spooner would conduct these big, elaborate dance shows. | |
| And one of the coolest things I've, I think he invented this whole concept of just sort of stopping the show. | |
| So it'd be this elaborate show with dancers and stage stuff. | |
| And then he'd just go, stop, stop, stop. | |
| What are you doing over there? | |
| What's happening here? | |
| And the music would stop and everyone would be like, what? | |
| And then he'd put her over there and be like, five, six, seven, eight. | |
| And they'd start up again. | |
| So it was really sloppy and haphazard. | |
| I kind of stole that for this show where I'd be relatively unprepared and then say, Ryan, look that up. | |
| Or we'll just figure it out as we go. | |
| And you'd see the backstage on stage. | |
| you'd see them getting ready and stuff. | |
| Like there was no... | |
| The videos were so cool too. | |
| That's not Warren Fisher, the boy. | |
| Move forward. | |
| Do they show more different stuff? | |
| Their shows were amazing. | |
| I said to him once, I know what that song's about. | |
| You don't need to tear away. | |
| You don't need to emerge from nothing. | |
| It's saying you don't have to be gay. | |
| You don't have to come out of the closet. | |
| Stay in the closet if you want. | |
| And he goes, no. | |
| But if that's your interpretation, enjoy yourself. | |
| Kind of stops the music in the song, too. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Like, that was very uncomfortable and jarring. | |
| This was a great time in New York City. | |
| There was no rules. | |
| Terry Richardson was a pig, and everyone thought that was interesting. | |
| I wore a shirt that said, speak English with an American flag on it and a screwdriver belt buckle. | |
| You're like, haha, that's weird. | |
| Like, you could be whatever you wanted to. | |
| And then it got woke. | |
| Terry was canceled. | |
| Fisher Spruner broke up and Electro Clash ended. | |
| And I think two things killed Electro Clash. | |
| One, me. | |
| I was so excited about it that I over-documented it and made it a thing. | |
| And it was always in Vice. | |
| All the bands were in Vice and Showcase. | |
| And there's Electro Clash update. | |
| I was like, we got our own punk. | |
| This is great. | |
| And there were some really good bands. | |
