It's should come as no surprise that I'm not a fan of plastic surgery, or "cosmetic surgery," or even "aesthetic surgery" as I saw it referred to recently. I understand why people do it. Nobody wants to get old. But unless your doctor is a genius it's not going to look right. Sure, it may look OK on screen after a professional make-up artist is done and the person is lit properly, but sooner or later the cameras go off and real life sets in. I've seen many stars up close, in person, at conventions who have had plastic surgery and they just never look good.
Then there are the people who just go crazy with huge breast or butt implants and enormous lips. This song is about all of the above. It's a parody of Fancy by Drake. Music by me with some help from Steve Goodie. Background vocals by Carrie Dahlby, and we were able to recreate the sample used in this song thanks to some amazing singing by Chris Mezzolesta of Power Salad.
If you'd like to hear some behind the scenes commentary on this song be sure to listen to today's episode of
And don't forget, buy my album on April 1st from iTunes and I will send you the physical CD and the exclusive bonus CD for free. All the details are at DevoSpice.com.
And for the record I have nothing against corrective or reconstructive surgeries. I'm all for that. But adding a third breast, as one woman actually did--you can Google it yourself--is insane.

Love it! And excellent work on the beat, and I enjoy the way you say "manamana" in a very matter of fact way, it makes me chuckle!

Amazing job keeping the lyrics so funny/clever/interesting thru the whole thing. That's a long time to fill with funny lines about the same topic. And the metaphors are spot on - "Duck Lips" etc.
