While at an ultimate frisbee tournament this weekend in Philly I heard the track Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell for the first time. It has apparently been circulating for most of 2009, but it is new for me and despite its comically inane lyrics, it is a keeper. I am not completely a fan of the original, but this remix by Wallpaper is a pretty sick party track. Regardless of its very limited lyrics, with synths sounding like a broke man's LCD Soundsystem (horns too!) and some pretty hilarious accents, Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell is catchy as hell. With further reading I discovered that Das Racist, the rap duo behind the song, includes one member of band Boy Crisis. Both Boy Crisis and Das Racist formed at Wesleyan University in CT, which has also recently spawned MGMT. While I am not especially fond of Boy Crisis, who seem a bit derivative of MGMT especially considering they went to the same school, they are a pretty fun band to listen to especially if you like hipster synth music. Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell makes perfect sense now as facetious hip hop for Hipsters by Hipsters. No matter what though this track is incredibly catchy and will be in your party playlists soon enough.
