Introducing Crabsmack, The Cover Band That Exclusively Does Songs About Crabs/Shellfish

Imagine the fucked up alternate universe you'd think you transported into if this was the band playing at the restaurant you went to for dinner? Crabsmack is going viral all over the internet right now, and for good reason - it's such a bizarre concept that you almost have to share it with your friends if only to ask, "What the fuck?" 

It's a band who does Weird Al style parody covers of popular songs, but all of the songs have the exact same subject: crabs. Eating crabs, buying crabs, making crabs, crab legs, crabs going on sale, etc. It's insane enough that even one person thought this was a good idea, let alone all four of the guys in this band (and the audience of onlookers in every video) but after watching a few more of their hits....

....I think I kinda love it? 

Listen, I'm not saying they're about to one-up Oasis for me and I'm gonna follow them on tour next, but I bet going to one of their shows is a pretty fun time. It's absurd, sure, and you might get tired of the crab jokes after a while - but isn't that a great metaphor for eating crabs themselves? Eventually I always get tired of how much work is required for so little meat in there....but I always come back for more! I say all the power to em. Keep the crabs coming.

Hopefully Crabsmack is in contention for next year's SuperBowl halftime show.
