Stephen Malkmus announces blowjob winner
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 26 August 2011
Stephen Malkmus has announced the winner of a competition to replace the word “blowjob” in the radio edit of his forthcoming new single, ‘Senator’.
As previously reported, the line in which the word features is “I know what the senator wants – what the senator wants is a blowjob”. But for the purposes of radio, the senator will now require a corndog, instead.
According to Pitchfork, Malkmus announced the winning word at a performance at Amoeba Records in LA on Tuesday. He explained that corndog had been chosen as the winning word in tribute to 80s hardcore band Minutemen, who sometimes referred to themselves as corndogs.
The winner will receive a one-off seven-inch pressing of their version of the song once it has been edited. But we can all hear the original version in all its fellatial glory right now on the new Stephen Malkmus And The Jicks album, ‘Mirror Traffic’, which is out this week.
