    I wonder if "Pancake's Secret Butt Move" is an original composition.

    pretty sure it is...

    a brief glance through his youtube channel reveals some of his other original compositions:

    "Why.. So... Many Skinny Jeans In The Middle Of An Obesity Epidemic..."
    "How Can I Have Sex With You, I'm Not Even Mad At You?"
    "Highlander: There Can Be As Many As You'd Like"
    "Say Hello To Your Mother For Me"

    aaaaaaaaand then there's this dude on the 18-string bass....

    I'd rather listen to a lawn mower.

    I'm generally against 5 or more strings. If Carol Kaye and James Jamerson used four strings everyone else can use four. I can see how notes lower than E would come in handy but I don't think the tone is good and I hate clicky rattle.

    If James Jamerson can rock the fuck out of everything on a four string and a single finger (and he doesn't even do fretboard gymnastics or go past the 9th fret really) then everyone else is just stroking their own cock.
